March 22, 2010 | Life in General,The 4-1-1 on Me,Weekend Wrap-Up
Just so you all know, I will be in Alexandria, VA for 4 days this week attending an annual Records Mgmt training for the day job. I’m leaving today and coming back late on Thursday. I’m sure Steven will miss me. He won’t know what to do with himself. I just bought a smaller laptop (Toshiba NB300 series, navy blue, so perfectly small. YAY!) and will have access to email. The training is two days, but we have other non-work stuff planned. For which I will do my best to narrate and put up pics. We’re going there to learn, I swear.
Saturday – I did a lot of errands today. Picked up some stuff for the trip this week, but I also went a little crazy at Target and bought some new towels and matching rugs for our bathroom (beige, light blue, creme and yellow). Even though our house isn’t on the market yet, I’m still anticipating the move to a townhouse…and the fact that we’ll have matching towels and bath rugs to put in our new bathroom. The old towels were hand-me-downs from the parental unit when I first moved out on my own.
Yes. That was a very long time ago.
A few of them were from when I used to work part time at Crate and Barrel. When people returned stuff (for no apparent reason) it would be placed in the back and “sold” to employees. It was kind of like a live version of eBay. It was fun. I won a couple sets of bath towels out of the deal. I figured it was past time to get new towels and “real” bath rugs. Not the kind that look like bath towels.
I even made over to Barnes and Noble to pick up my 2-disc copy of NEW MOON. I’d pre-ordered it a while a back. And no, I wasn’t waiting up until midnight to get it. No movie is worth the loss of sleep. Seriously.
And laundry…baskets and baskets of laundry. I’m going from 80-degree weather to 60-degree weather so I needed some clean turtlenecks. *grin*
Sunday – Went to eat breakfast at our usual place, then checked out Nordstrom Rack. Bought a cute little sundress to wear to a friend’s wedding in May.
I can wear it as a sundress or a skirt. It even comes with straps. I think it was the cheapest thing there at $30. LOL. The clothes were still a bit expensive. I realize it’s called “rack” for a reason, but jeesh! It still didn’t seem like much of a discount to me. Then again, if I shopped Nordstrom’s on the regular, that would be a different story. Since I don’t…
We checked out Stein Mart, too. Never shopped there and I doubt I will again. That’s not a bad thing. I found this cute parachute-type skirt for $40.
The other clothes seemed like they were for more mature women. Mature, trendy women that live in Scottsdale. I’m pretty sure I was the youngest shopper in there. LOL.
That’s it for moi. How was your weekend?
