Shopping

Today was a perfectly delightful day! Dean & I went to 7:00 Mass & then did our grocery shopping. We were home before 9:00. I caught up on RHONY. I just don't know what to say about those ladies. Anyway, I took a nap & was up for 10:30. I hate getting up early to go to Mass at 7:00 but it sure is nice to get all that done before lunch!

My parents came over after lunch & we spent several hours in the pool. We actually got some rain yesterday evening so the water felt great. I decided to go to Cato this afternoon. I don't go there often but my friends Allison & Jill are always able to find stuff. I really needed a few things due to the 17 lb. weight loss. Well, I hit the mother load! This was one of those days that doesn't happen often for me. I tried on a ton of stuff & I could've bought it all! But I didn't. I wanted to. But I refrained! I've been wanting a Maxi Dress. I tried one on at the Gap Outlet when we went to the beach. I loved it & it was like $25 but I didn't buy it because it was strapless & I didn't know if I'd like it. Well, I've regretted it. So much so that when Allison told me she was at the outlet mall near here I asked her to go to Gap & see if they had it. They did but it wasn't on sale & it was going to be $50! I don't call that an outlet store price. Anyway, I found one at Cato.

 For whatever reason it looks blue in the pictures. It's different shades of green.  Soooo comfy too!

 Dean couldn't have cared less about anything I bought except this.....

 He feels the same way about bags as he does about shoes - I have too many. I've been wanting a pink purse & it was only $16!!!  I can't tell you the last time I've seen a purse that cheap. Granted it may not last forever but that's ok. Next up...

I really like the neckline on this one. I'll wear it with capri's or black shorts.

 I LOVE this top!! I tried to buy a pair of white shorts to wear with it but you would know they didn't have my new size. I started to buy a size down from my new size because I still have some weight to lose but I decided to just wait.

Those are silver studs all down the side of this one. Cute! 

Earrings off the clearance rack for $4.00! I don't think you can ever have too many earrings. I also bought 2 pair of Capri's. I didn't take pictures because they're just capri's. I got a khaki pair & a grey pair.

Earlier in the week I had a Dr's appt. & I had to pass right by Shoe Station. My truck just turned in the parking lot! I need a pair of casual black shoes. Yes, I really did NEED them. Due to an unfortunate incident involving me getting out of a travel trailer, the pair I have are torn up beyond repair. I got these. 

They were $40 on sale for $20 & then of course I had a coupon. I've said this before. Don't shop at Shoe Station without a coupon!!! Last week at Logan's party my cousin had on an adorable pair of Yellow Box flip flops. I wanted a pair but they didn't have my size. Friday at lunch I went to the other Shoe Station & they had them.

You can't tell from the picture, they're bronze but as you move & the light hits them they change to purple. Not in a cheesy, ugly way. Like a muted LSU flip flop. Had to have them. Also on sale for $20 & I had a coupon. I also went to Kohl's since it's in the same shopping center. I'm looking for a new swimsuit & apparently I've waited too long. They're very picked over everywhere I go. I really just needed new bottoms. I managed to find a cute one. I forgot to take a picture. Friday night Dean & I ate at La Carreta & then went to Target to check out their swimsuits. I found a really cute top on the clearance rack for $4.99. I'm a happy camper now. I had a great shopping weekend!!

Toodles!

There's a first time for everything!

Today is Waffle Cone Wednesday at TCBY! I knew they had waffle cone specials but I never remember to go when it's actually Wednesday. Today, however, I remembered. I was really excited to see that they had White Chocolate Mousse. It's one of my faves. I also did something that I've NEVER done before, including the 5 years that I worked at Zack's Frozen Yogurt when I was a teenager, I ate a waffle cone!!! I've always been a cup kind of girl. Cone's are messy & they get soggy. I do love waffle bowls so it's not the taste of the cone. Anyway, the small cone was .99 so I went with it & I really enjoyed it. I will be having Waffle Cone Wednesday again.

At lunch today I went & got the rest of Logan's birthday gift. I hope he likes it. I guess we'll see. I also picked up something for myself.

This is the picture from Target's website. I would've liked the blue but they only had my size in black so I got it. I thought it would look really cute with flip flops.  I also found a cute, comfortable pair of shorts. The kind to just wear around the house. They look like cut off sweatpants that have been hemmed. The best part is they were on the clearance rack for $8! 

I'm sitting here watching Tori Spelling's show. LOVE HER!! They went to buy chickens to teach the kids responsibility & they also put a deposit down on a goat. And to think Dean doesn't want a dog. I wonder what he'd think if I came home with a baby goat???
