Weekend-never long enough
So I had a pretty cool weekend. Friday was Heather's bachlorette party, which was ok. I was super rushed that afternoon though. The office was very, very dead (end of the RNC and what not) and I had really nothing to do, so I took a shot and asked my boss if I could leave early (about an hour) and he approved! I then ran home and Ilon and I picked up a chair I found on craigs list. It looks like this: 
It's been my favorite chair at Ikea for years now. The thing costs $159 at Ikea (I think) plus the foot stool which is like an extra 30-40 or something. Super expensive. But once again craigs list rules and I got both the chair and the foot stool for $75! Its in great condition (and will hopefully stay that way if I can keep the cats from going nuts). Bear approves of the chair:
After grabbing the chair, I had to run and get ready for the party which was eah. It was a lot of St. Kate's girls who I didn't know (since I didn't go to St. Kates). We were all at Steph's house hanging out and then they went to the bar and I went back home because Ilon and I had to go to Mondovie that night and that's a long drive! (over 2 hours). We got to Momndovie a bit after midnight (could be worse) and got to hang out with Dee for a bit. We went up there last minute because I found a great dress for the wedding, on sale ($100 dress for $40) but it had a small hole in the side (on the seam!) so we brought it up to Dee so she could fix it for the wedding. It was good to go up there cause I also had to get some undergarment thingy (I can't wear a bra or a slip with the dress because you'd see the straps, so we went and got a strapless bra/slip thing). Those are super expensive so I got to save some money cause Dee works at JCPenny's and gets a discount (thank god). So far this wedding has been damn expensive and its not my wedding. I'm not even in it! But I have worked really hard, and saved quite a bit more then I should have spent!)
So far it has cost:
$45-the gift card we got them for the shower plus card/wrapping stuff
$40- dress (originally $100)
$9 - shoes (originally $90! My best deal yet!-and I love the shoes cause they are super comfortable and very cute!)
$25 - undergarment thingy (originally $55)
The bag and wrap I have are free cause my aunt borrowed them to me (I don't even have your basic black purse..sigh...I'm so behind in adult girly things I need). The bag I'm bringing is an actual prada! Yikes!
All in all not bad, but still on my budget-ouch!
So after finishing with all the prep work for wedding in Mondovie and getting a bit of quality time with Dee (not enough, but whatever) we drove home and crashed!
Sunday I woke up and went to the Trans Health meeting, with Lynn, which was cool (I invited her to come after we met for studying/tutoring for my GRE on Thursday). After the meeting Lynn and I went to Perkins for food (cause we were both starving!) and out for a bit of shopping because Lynn needed some new shirts (she has the longest torso ever...ever.). It was a really great Sunday, and I usually don't like Sundays.
I came home and Ilon and I went grocery shopping, made some food, and passed out to Star Trek!
