Sorry I've been incommunicado. Suffice to say, Catherine's been sick. She went to the doctor for her regular check-up Wednesday morning (where her temperature was just starting to rise - her ORIGINAL appointment was at 4:00, at which her condition might have been apparent, but the doctor was leaving early and wanted it changed), went to daycare and ( Read more... )

Ran out at lunch with the intention of going to Bookman's to drop off (and hopefully sell) some books I'll never read [again], but detoured to Fiesta Mall, instead, hoping to find the Mad Men calendar (no dice), and also start trying to spend my MIL's birthday giftcard ($100 for Dillards). I found that the Dillards at Fiesta has given up its upper ( Read more... )

I found a replacement wand!

(And I bought a few scrapbook items while I was there...)

Yesterday at lunch, I went to the Neiman-Marcus and Saks outlets (both thoughtfully provided in the same mall, nearly next to each other, about four miles away from the office), looking for the Louboutin shoes for Joe to buy for my birthday. While I didn't find them (they had some, but they were flats and, while they were certainly cute and I'd ( Read more... )

I didn't actually shop at Penneys. By the time I waited for TEN MINUTES for ONE CUSTOMER to finish at the register (and they STILL weren't finished when I finally found a non-cashier to take care of my security tag), I didn't want to shop any more - I figured there would have been no chance of getting rung up in a reasonable amount of time ( Read more... )

So I went to put on one of the tops I got at Penneys a couple weeks ago. And it still has the security tag on it. So now I have to go back to Penneys to get it removed (mind you, the top was THREE DOLLARS - and it has a security tag on it).

Oh, darn. I have to go back to Penneys.

:-)

Every once in a while, I read back in my LJ. I just came upon this post, in which I linked to a super-cute blouse that I really, really wanted but couldn't justify spending $138 for ( Read more... )

I was doing my job, minding my own business, when I was blindsided by a customer's website. WANT.

I could not possibly bring myself to spend $138 on a single top, though. No matter how cute it is.

I'm going at lunchtime to see if I can find some shoes for Joe's company party tonight. I've got the pretty dress already, but no pretty shoes to wear with it.

It occurred to me this morning as I was changing the pants I was planning to wear for a pair that didn't hit right at the ankle that most of my pants are too short. I don't know how that came to be - I'm pretty sure they were long enough when I bought them ( Read more... )
