Warning: Shopping Maniac

Oh man. So Steenie and I went to the Gateway yesterday for one last sisterly shopping trip before I move. That was a bad idea. (But don't get me wrong... I don't regret it at all.)

So we went to the Gateway looking for clothes, right? We each wanted to update our wardrobe (well, in my case, the words "image overhaul" come to mind; it's time for a drastic change- no more T-shirts and jeans every single day!), so we went to several stores looking for cute, different, hopefully inexpensive (or at least not ridiculously overpriced) clothes to add to our stores. I had no such luck... but that doesn't mean that I didn't buy anything.

We were in Wet Seal (not a store that I would recommend: the music is too loud and they don't have a lot of cute clothes, although there are a few roses among thorns) looking through the racks upon racks of clothes when I saw it. It was the single coolest thing in the store (apart from a really cute brown "safari-type" button up shirt that didn't fit quite right and didn't have a small enough price tag). It was hanging from a peg amid all the yellow and black, which makes sense, because it's yellow.

I'll bet you're wondering what it is. Well, here's a picture.


It's a purse. Isn't it cool? (Only mine's not blue. It's yellow.) Yeah, Christine convinced me to buy it, even though I really don't need it. (But we figured, "Hey, we're here and you might as well buy something." Not good logic, but the damage is done.)

Yeah. It's dangerous to take me shopping.

Happy Birthday to Me!

Well, so far it's been an interesting day. It hasn't felt like my birthday. That's still mostly because it's FREEZING outside. And I have to work.

You wanna know what I got? Yeah, didn't think so. But I'll tell you anyway. I got a special edition of Stephanie Meyer's "Eclipse." It's cool; it's got the first chapter of "Breaking Dawn" in the back, and it also came with some Team Jacob and Team Edward iron-on decals. (Or whatever they're called.) Fu-un. I also got some new bed sheets. They are striped-y cool. And then I bought myself a new shirt (it's way cute... and orange) and some Bath and Body Works stuff.

Oh, and guess what. My Certain Gentleman Friend came by my work today with flowers, a gigantic eclair (from Dick's, he said) and a balloon. Isn't that sweet? That guy is too nice to me.

Whoopee!! After work I get to go out to dinner! (With the family.) We're going to The Training Table (I think). Yay! I'm excited.

Thanks to everyone who called me today and/or gave me something. It was very much appreciated.

Moving to the digital age

Heeeeeeeeeey guess what! I just bought myself a digital camera. Cool, huh? I probably don't need it, but it will be a good investment. I grew up with all those old school cameras... I figure that it's high time to get myself up to speed. No more film! View pictures and delete the ugly ones before you print them! Such fun. I think that I'll be more inclined to take pictures now.

Now hopefully I'll remember that I bought it...

Mmm... pizza

Oh man, I love the end of the semester. It's when all (or most all) of the teachers are at their nicest (this is AFTER your class final, of course; before the final they are unbearable) and they see fit to bring food for all their poor, overworked students.

I love free food.

So, on Tuesdays and Thursdays I have my religion classes (B.O.M. and Institute Choir) and I think that the Institute was giving out donuts to all the religion classes because there was a box on the table in my B.O.M. class (I don't know if anyone had one though)... anyway, I got food in both of my classes. My B.O.M. teacher made us all some delicious homemade cinnamon rolls (still not as good as Mom's, however) and in the choir we all got pizza. And I got the last donut from the box that was left from the previous class. Heh heh! Mine-all-mine-all-MINE!

Yeah, it was great. I didn't have to bring a lunch today. So good.
