I've....been spending too much money this weekend. But it's mostly needed things...some splurges...it just adds up, sadly. I must make a list, because I do that.

Thursday:

Confirmed that my family is coming to visit around my birthday (not my actual BDay weekend because they have too much going on AND it's ok because Travis will be here and we have a long-awaited date at the Brookfield Zoo which will only be postponed if it is storming) and will not try to come at Thanksgiving. Purchase: bus tickets to and from Indianapolis...only $47 total, which is pretty sweet. So I got to thinking that my regular bag is always stuffed when I take the bus because I cram in a drink and a sandwich and a snack and it would be nice to have a small pillow and blanket, I noted last time. So...one of the very few times in my life I actually NEED a new bag lol.

Friday:

So...I went to Nordstrom Rack to buy this Puma bag I saw last weekend and really really hoped it would still be there. It was only $30 and I fondle that style of bag every time I go into a Puma outlet store where they are $40, which seems just too much for a bag I don't really need. (it was blue and yellow) They were all gone of course...sad. So I went to Filene's Basement because they had a stash of luggage, but nothing suited me...except a snazzy travel mug and two regular mugs!

Saturday:

I had a shopping mission today. First, necessities: my "Estrogen Therapy," as I call it because that's how my prescription labels read the first time I got it and it amused me very much. So went and picked up 3 months of that...aaaand the price went up....ouch.

Then I was starving so I ran in a nearby Dunkin Doughnuts for a delicious breakfast sandwich that took them practically ever to make but it was indeed delicious. I ran in Staples and got my Cyan Ink (hooked up the laptop to the printer to see what color I needed....Printer has 6 colors and does not tell the Mac what color it is out off -- just that it is out. It will tall the Windows laptop, however, picky picky. So I got that and it was the annoying setup where they get the ink for you and I came off as a dumb girl because the guy was like, "Do you know the number of your printer?" and I said, "I need the Epson ink with the guitar on it. Cyan." Yes, I know I have an Epson R200 but it's much easier to look for the guitar picture than the little numbers on the box, which, I believe, is why they have the pictures. So Staples guy tried to flirt and I was like give me my damn ink already lol. Then...I almost did NOT go to Kohl's as I have been planning all week, and when I saw the bus coming and ran for it and made it, I had to go. Knee socks, I told myself.

The knee sock selection was extremely disappointing. They did, however, have a whole wall of waffle shirts – my other sought item. And the sweaters were ok but I wasn't in love with any of them and the ones I liked were a little itchy.

I wish this was a better style on me...maybe if I was pregnant lol. That's why I think it's odd it's rather popular...because I feel like I should be pregnant when I wear it....but in this case I tried one on because I loved the elephants...and apples lol.

But...there was a whole wall of waffle shirts, which is exactly what I wanted, and I snatched them up pretty quickly but $9 shirts add up very quickly. Sad. I also got another random shirt...I loved it in pink with stars but there was none in my size. Also sad, but bright blue is good too.

Yellow...not so good. I love owls though so I had to give it a try.

Then I looked at the baby clothes...uh oh lol...and got some things for Daniel.

Then I found a fleece throw for $10...and thought of the chilly bus/plane/train...and got that too.

And I stumbled upon sexy lingerie on sale, but I will not show pictures of that ;)

It all adds up...eek! This is me sad I spent so much money:

And this is me happy I bought some awesome things:

Um...then I walked home and went to Walgreens first for this, aka the best stuff ever:

And finally took a picture of my building:

Keeties:

And THEN...I finally used a coupon I had to ebags.com and got my needed travel bag. A simple black tote and rather huge...but I will NOT be one of those people carrying one of those in addition to a gigantic purse on the train during rush hour because that is ridiculous and stupid and, above all, really annoying because not only does it take up the space of an additional person, those women are never conscious of the bags and whack everyone with them. *eyes narrow*

So I think I'm done spending money for a while,,,besides food. No bills this week thank god lol. But I do need moisturizer soon...and I have to mail things.

The End.
