I had this idea for while (even before I saw Atlantis Home’s version – loves it!) before I actually did anything about it. My husband had gotten a package & I couldn’t bear to throw away all the sheets of packing paper they included around the item. They’ve been in a large bag just waiting for [...]

Walmart Pants
February 24th, 2010 · No Comments
I took those pants back to Walmart – remember, the ones I was really hoping would be perfect for the work/gym segue? Anyway, I tried on the bigger size & they gave me this funny anti-camel toe like bulge. Too weird – could not wear in public. Soooo, I found these other pants instead that actually [...]

Last weekend I hit my favorite Goodwill & found a few treasures. I also ran into a my friend Wendy & we got to chat a bit. Here’s the goods:
Michael Kors top, $3.49. I’ve already worn it & really like it! It’s comfy but still dressy enough for a client meeting. And I LOVE that [...]

Bad Haircut
February 17th, 2010 · 3 Comments
So, I got another bad haircut. When will I learn? No. More. Great. Clips. And I completely dropped the ball & don’t think I even deserve to complain since I didn’t bring a photo of what I wanted. My friend Jo asked if I brought a photo & I totally did a palm to the [...]

Valentine’s Day!
February 15th, 2010 · No Comments
I had a great Valentine’s weekend!
I spent a nice night out on Friday for my friend Chrissy’s birthday dinner with a bunch of friends. It’s pretty hard for me to drag myself out on a Friday night but I’m glad I did since I really enjoyed myself.
Saturday I went to the library & shopped at Walmart & Goodwill, then came [...]

Magazine Bonanza!
February 12th, 2010 · 1 Comment
I was so excited to come home to these in my mailbox yesterday! It was like Christmas!
Obviously, you can tell I’m a magazine junkie! I will really be sad when they all eventually go out of print. We know it’s coming, right? Elle Decor and Town & Country are freebie subscriptions & I won’t be renewing [...]

Walmart Shopping

I shopped at Walmart the same day I did Target. I went to pick up a prescription & get groceries but I always get sucked into all the other sections!
I found these pants which will work great for work & the gym. Luckily, my work has a pretty loose dress code! Anyway, I’m exchanging them [...]

Target Splurge
February 9th, 2010 · No Comments
Despite being put on salary at work & being terrified at having a “fixed” income (I won’t be able to look forward to those higher hour “good” paychecks!) I was still freaking shopping this past weekend!
I know, it’s a damn addiction. I know for a fact once I’m in the habit of spending more it [...]
