A Changed MOI!

Okay I'm resting now with some strawberry milk and reading emails and watching/listening to hockey! Here's a recap of the craziness of my life these past two days. Now I'm gonna slow down again and get my brisk walks in instead of doing both!!!

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.


Friday PM

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!!!!
