Thursday PM
WOW talk about a busy day off yesterday!!! I got up the same time and stripped the bed and hideabed for apt inspection. Then did 3 loads of laundry and some stitching on my block and then the inspector came with her blue flashlight and bug catchers – ZIPPO in my mattresses that she could see and she looked sometimes twice – but lots of dust bunnies – LOL! After she left I folded back the hideabed mattress again and vacuumed through the springs. Then lifted that mother of a box spring and did the same under the bed – all gone now – even turned the mattress too!!!! And all before 1:00 pm.
Then out for a quick lunch at Crusty Bun, a manicure (felt like a Queen), and to shop for work & walking clothes & some groceries at St. Vital Mall and WalMart. I can tell you that I spent about $100 on clothes and realize it could have maybe extended further with better sales but there was only Cotton Ginny that had something that I LIKED and FIT NICELY and it was 25% off. Pat remembers my chuckles and smiles when I tried on her jeans that fit me beautifully? Well this is exactly the feeling I got when I pulled on these navy (I wanted brown) casual pants and then tried on a mango and dark orange coloured tees there too – I could not resist buying them. I LOOKED good even though I had no makeup on and was beat!!! Then went to Walmart and got walking shorts that have a skirt on top (awesome – I saw someone on my walks with one and liked the look), a jacket and a package of anklets too, all out of the Dri-More fabrics (best prices on these here) so I’m set for a while in comfy walking stuff - just need a pair of walking sandals. They have some nice swimsuits there but I’m going to check out Nygaards first!
WELL, after two hours I was done and packed it in for home for a 1 hour online tatting class and another load of laundry – now all towels and sheets and even everyday clothes are done – just need to do the hand laundry someday (where I found some of my missing clothes - hope they still fit)!
I then set up my tub accessories tower (lost my holders when the tub surround was taken out and tiled), stitched some more, and then read before going to sleep. I can tell you when my head hit the pillow I was out like a light and didn’t get up until the alarm was on snooze the second time!!!
SHEESH I needed to come to work to get some REST!!!!
Friday AM
Yeppers here is me in the new pants and “Mango” coloured tee from Cotton Ginny. I can tell you that with my walking I'm standing taller but would have looked lots better if I had sucked in my gut for the picture - oh well its going down slowly but surely. The pants are petite but still cuffed under as I’ll wash them this weekend and then hem them up. I did not do to bad picking these out I’d say and shows off my 21 pounds lost since July 2009 eh??? Yes, these felt GREAT as soon as I put them on and knew I had to buy them.
Well I picked up another long sleeved tee for $8 and a nice 3/4 sleeve sweater top for $25 to go over my tanks or sundresses. Then after supper some PJ bottoms 2/$12 and a PJ top for $6.94 at SuperStore today - now comfies to relax in too - the last pair I got just had to go they were huge!!! Then I did a load of grocery shopping for items on sale. I'm totally bushed - have never done this much shopping in two days before and the rest of the stuff too!!! Okay no more buying unless it's a steal as I want to ensure I have money for bills too. For a girl who HATES clothes shopping I've done real good by myself!!! Yep my tax refund came and went pretty quickly but I made 2.5 loan payments and bills paid, before going on this spending spree!!! LOL!!!!
