okay,

Yesterday Missy came over! For the first time in a long time, we were able to spend more than just an hour or so together. It was really great. We went and had lunch at Papi’s (My fave tex-mex place) and we went out to garden ridge (which was a bust). Believe it or not, I introduced Missy to World Market (yea, I know, how has she never been there??) and she got a beautiful green capiz shell chandelier.

After she left, my Nicole invited me to hang with her at Mary’s place for a while while their men were playing a baseball game. It was fun, I really enjoy spending time with those ladies.

Today, I turned down a trip with Mary to Six Flags, cause I realized that I really, really needed to go shopping before D and I leave for Sedona on Saturday morning. I needed several things, and I actually made a list of things I was looking for, so I wouldn’t end up with things I don’t need.

On my list were things like, a pair of grey slacks, a pair of khaki slacks, cropped athletic pants, sports top, sports bra… etc… basic things right!?!

Well, I’m actually really proud of myself!! I got everything I needed to start the new school year. Plenty of pants, a few easily mixed and matched tops, and some of the sportier gear that I needed for our trip.

Here is my haul… If you click the link, and go to my flickr stream, you can see where I labeled what everything is…

I might have been able to get out of this without spending as much as I did, but on the whole, I think I did a great job, If I hadn’t found the deals I did, I would have spend $283!!! My sweet shopping skills mean that I got what I did for over $100 less. So, all and all a successful trip, I’d say.
