Weekend of shoes

4 Comments

Until about 1pm today I volunteered with work by handing out balloons and giving pony rides at a kids carnival for one of the University Homecoming days. Curious George was there and he was handing out children’s books. I grabbed two for my little nephews back home. Hope they love him, because I enjoyed it when my Dad used to read me those books “way back when”. It ended up raining as soon as the carnival was done at about 1pm, so we didn’t have to volunteer/attend at the next event being the Rugby games.

I headed out into my car and wanted to do some bargain hunting so I went to Giant Tiger (Newfie, this place is like Pipers back home) a super junky store that you really don’t want to be in. (Side note: Why do they always seem to be in the sketchy part of towns too?) I used to sock up on free toilet paper by using $1.00 off coupons but they since raised the prices to $1.29. Well they didn’t end up having any for the second time around. So maybe they stopped carrying the 4-packs? I have no idea and I wasn’t about to ask.

I had no idea what to do, so I just moseyed around the store for a bit and found some basic flats on sale for $7 and bought them. I know, random right? They’re definitely going to fall apart within three weeks, but I think I just liked the price. Plus, they’re not even that ugly!

After the Boyf woke up from partying the night before with a buddy of his (I won’t even dare tell you what time of the night morning he came home ;)) we headed out to a grand opening of Future Shop to check out some deals. Such a guy store, isn’t it? I am always bored within 2.3 minutes of being inside. But anyway we ended up going next door to Walmart, again — to the electronics section because that’s what the Boyf does when we head into Walmart. I of course, had to entertain myself some so I went to the crappy section of shoes once again. What is with me? But I noticed some nude heels that just so happened to be on a steep clearance, and purchased these beasts for $5.00! We have a wedding to attend in the next few weeks so these may very well be a one-time wear, or they may end up lasting — who really knows. I just never wear heels because I’m not all that used to them. I’m definitely excited that I didn’t have to go on the hunt at Aldo or something and pay $60 for a pair that I’ll only wear once or twice a year, seriously.

That’s all the news I have. That’s all I did this weekend. Summed it up pretty fast and easy (twss — by the way I hate that term. I can’t believe I just acrony’med it.) hey?

I think soon my readers are going to tell me to stop wearing cardigans all week long, just like I should go out and buy more skirts during the summer so I’d stop wearing those long bermuda shorts. Help me get dressed!

You also can’t really tell that the “skinny pants” i’m wearing on Wednesday and Friday are actually two diferent pairs. One’s charcoal (Wednesday) the other is black (today).

As I mentioned on Wednesday, the weeks are just flying by and I’m loving it. I went out and purchased a few things at the store called Smart Set, and ended up with 3 pairs of pants (two of them being “skinny pants”) and one camisole. I may return three items though, since I shouldn’t be shopping right after I got back from vacation.

Wednesday was a super fun day since I went out with a co-worker to one of the two local Universities here in the city where I work/live/play. It was fun to mingle with the athletics department who was hosting the open house. We know them for a few things since we do sponsorships for that one uni. I also checked out the local universities bouldering wall inside one of the buildings. I was lusting after it, and wanted to go home to grab my climbing shoes and get out with them and BOULDER. Alas, I am not staff, alumni, nor a student – I am just a community member. Maybe if I get a hold of one of the athletics department main head-honcho that we deal with, he can swing a dealiooo… I miss climbing.

Thursday’s pants are annoyingly too big. I hate how they look on my thighs. HUGE. I need to get these to a tailor, A-SAP.

Anyway! Happy Friday! Too bad today isn’t payday, it’d be a better Friday in my books. What are everyone’s plans for this weekend? I desperately need to do laundry. Can you believe I’m running out of undies? Who lets that happen? I have so many pairs of those things, that I have never ran out … ever! Time for this lazy butt (ha, pardon the BUM I mean PUN) to get off her arse (HAHAHAHA) and do some laundry. Now, off to go clip some coupons to use for getting deals this weekend — AND get a hair cut! I LOVE getting pampered. Catcha later!

The blue sweater

Remember when I posted my vacation haul and someone commented they wanted to see this blue sweat shirt on me? Well here she be!

Off the shoulder isn’t really my thing, I’d get too self conscious and keep pulling it up. So I wore it the the way it’s pictured in the second photo. This is the outfit of the day I wore on Sunday (I can’t believe I’m going to do two straight weeks of OOTD’s! M-F, weekends, and then another M-F! No shame.

A little less than a month and I’ll be on my next vacation or weekend getaway, and I’ll be flying to a special place that I’ll keep a surprise for now — I mean, I don’t want any creepers creepin’ me at the airport, right? Those who know, know — and those who don’t, will know later… when I return. Ha! So top secret.

I’m in need of some new work pants, seeing as I lost my favorite pair somehow — actually I probably KNOW how. Because when the boyf went downstairs to get our laundry on Sunday, the whole pile of clothes that was in the dryer, was outside of the dryer, unfolded, wrinkled and sitting on a table. For Eff sakes. No wonder I have clothes that go missing. What I was originally saying, is that I needed/wanted new work pants. Preferably on the skinny jeans/pants style with some calf boots. I’m digging the slim lined leg look and I don’ thave any of those except for jeans. Not supposed to wear jeans to work!
