monday monday

it rained all weekend, but i still enjoyed the time off of work.  what's not to enjoy, right?  on friday night, me, hubs and g went out and about to find two things 1) a new vacuum and 2) a jogging stroller.  we ended up getting both.  the vacuum works great and the jogging stroller is being delivered tomorrow.  i can't wait for the weather to really warm up and stay that way so i can start using the new sneaks i got a few weeks ago and the new jogging stroller.  we have an awesome park nearby where i can go running with the little one. 

saturday morning, got up and hit a new thrift spot with my friend maria.  we went to the good will.  my first time at the good will.  i will say that i signed up for the super savers card (um, additional savings?  yes sir!) and got a few things that i was really happy about. 

the first one was this sweet kate spade suede purse.  it was marked $6.95, but once i got home i realized i only paid $2 or something for it thanks to my super saver card.  $2 for a kate spade purse?  i mean, really. 


i also got an awesome pair of black work pants from the limited for $2, a few shirts (banana republic, ann taylor and INC) for $3 each and a milkglass bowl to put candy in on my desk at work. 

on saturday night i learned that my little sister was moving to south carolina the following day. surprise!  turns out she met a guy the last time she was visiting friends there, and she decided to uproot and relocate to live with him.  i was skeptical at first (who wouldn't be), but when i went to my parents house for dinner that night my sister's new boyfriend came over as well.  i have to say that i really genuinely liked him.  he was personable, polite and even dressed well.  i certainly was happy to see that he was a good person.  wishing my sister the best in her new hometown...

on sunday, i ran a bunch of errands in the morning and then went home to do things around the house.  my hubs and i started watching this show on AMC called "the killing".  have you seen it?  we ended up watching no less than 8 hours of it in a row, trying to catch up on season 1 as season 2 was premiering last night.  it was an awesome show.  check it out!

happy monday!

  2. I enjoy "The Killing" also, so I had to write. AMC is making me crazy though. They have 4 shows that I follow and they are making me wait for each installment; Mad Men, Breaking Bad (my FAVORITE show on television),and The Walking Dead, plus The Killing. The shows are all great, they suck you in...and then you have to wait. I didn't watch the refreshers for The Killing and I had to search my old memory for some info.
