I like new clothes

Today was a good day in more ways than one.

First off, it was my first day of eating better and not as much. To be honest, it’s not that difficult to do on the weekends. I find it harder to restrict my calories during the week. Something about sitting at a desk all day makes me feel ravished.

Secondly, we saw a really good movie – Disturbia. Since it’s been out three weeks now, I was able to use our free passes. We were the only ones in the theatre too which was nice. I may be a comedy girl, but Disturbia was so much better than the crap fest, Employee of the Month, which we watched a few hours ago. It was not very funny. Thank god it had Dane eye candy or it would have been a complete waste of my time.

Third of all, I got some new clothes, which is always fun. Anyone who knows me is well aware of the fact that I’m a tank top fanatic. Well, my favorite tank tops were the Perfect Fit™ ones from Old Navy but apparently they are phasing them out. There were nothing but small and extra small at the store and no decent colors online. Sucky. But no matter, I found some great tanks at Wally World of all places. Not only do they fit better and feel softer, they were only $4.88 each. Score! So suck on that, Old Navy. I don’t need you anymore because honestly, I can’t stand your clothes. The tanks were your only redeeming quality and you blew it.

New clothes

I also got a dress from Sears. I wasn’t too sure about it until I modeled it for Joe and he loved it. I was a little concerned that it was $30 because to me that’s a lot for one clothing item, but it rang up half price. And it just kept happening like that. Everything I bought today was on sale, including these two cute sterling silver pendant necklaces that were 60% off from Kohl’s. I’ve been wanting some new jewelry for awhile so I was happy to find them.

After my little shopping spree, we came home so Joe could change the front brakes on the Jetta. While he did that I cleaned the bathrooms and our master bedroom while doing laundry. By the time he was done with the car it was dinnertime, but we had to run to Target for a few things. We ended up having a late dinner and watching a movie. I wasn’t able to get online until 10 pm which is unusual for me. Now it’s past my self imposed bedtime. I think I’m going to bed shortly, however.

Tomorrow I have to take my dress back to Sears so they can remove the security tag they left on. Interestingly enough, it didn’t set off any alarms, so I’m not sure how they managed to disable it yet forget to remove it.

Movie weekend

The kids have been talking lately about their grandmother buying them both a Nintendo DS so they can get the new Pokemon Diamond and Pearl. Don’t get me started on how she shouldn’t be spending that kind of money on them, nor even mentioning it to them until she’s ready to really buy it. I’m just thinking if/when they do get them, I am so going to buy this case for The Boy. He has dropped his GBA more times than I can count. He really needs something indestructible.

We took my car in for an oil change after work today to a newly built Volkswagen dealership closer to home. They asked if we’d be using them for oil changes from now on and we said yes. Then they asked if they could change the license plate cover to advertise their dealership. They said if we agreed, we could bring my car in for a free car wash whenever we wanted, not just during service trips. Well what the hell? I’m advertising for someone one way or the other, so I agreed. At least they asked. The last place just changed them one day, and god knows what service date since I never pay attention. I just know the place where I bought the car wasn’t the place advertised on the plate covers anymore.

We actually rented a movie from Blockbuster tonight (although we haven’t watched it yet). It has been awhile since we’ve rented anything, so imagine my surprise that there wasn’t really anything good recently released unless I wanted drama or horror. Sorry, but for the most part I’m a comedy gal. So I got the dreaded Employee of the Month. Maybe it will be good and I’ll kick myself for taking this long to see it. Hell, at least there’s eye candy, and I don’t mean just Dane. Dax isn’t half bad either.

We’ve got nothing planned this weekend, so it’s a free-for-all. Which is nice since we’ve got stuff scheduled next weekend on for the next month. We’ll probably see Disturbia tomorrow since I have free tickets. Movie weekend it is.

Fun Center

I am pooped! We got home past the kids’ bedtime tonight because we were out in Indiana at the Fun Center with my family. The kids had a blast, of course, which is why we stayed out later than we normally would. I am soooo exhausted though. Winning at miniature golf is tiring! Well, I won if you only count Joe and the kids’ scores. I got two holes in one! Interestingly enough, so did The Boy. In fact, we got them at the same holes. Weird.

Fun Center

After golf it was already getting late, but since this is the last year of operation, (the owners have sold the Fun Center to Walmart), we probably won’t be back again and I wanted to make sure the kids had a good time. So they played games, went on the bumper cars, ate pizza and hot dogs, and got lots of candy with all the tickets they won.

By the time we left, it was already The Boy’s bedtime. They both went to sleep easily since they were so exhausted, and I’m going to go make myself comfortable on the couch now.
