Sadly it's Monday

I want another long weekend! Waaaa! The weather is gorgeous...so sunny and warm, but with a light breeze today...perfect! Supposed to get up to 28 degrees today...and maybe 31 tomorrow. Hopefully this stays now for a while. We've decided to go camping this coming weekend no matter what the weather predictions are. (It was supposed to be rainy and crappy this past Saturday according to the news all week, so we didn't go camping...and of course it ended up being beautiful out.)


On Sunday DBF had our neighbor over to watch F1, so I opted to do some shopping. I had decided to head back over to MicMac Mall to check out the Jacob lingerie store I saw there last weekend for some much needed new undies and a neutral bra....but on the way I decided to stop at our Old Navy for some tank tops (I realized while getting dressed that I only have one or two truly presentable tank tops). Well, Old Navy looked like a bomb had been dropped....I truly have never seen a store that messy or picked over. I lasted about two minutes before I dropped the one thing I had picked up and walked right out.


So off over the bridge I went to Dartmouth. As luck would have it there is another Old Navy at the mall, so I popped in there and thankfully it was clean and organized. Found four cute new tanks, two nighties and some blue shorts. :) Then up to Jacob where I got my undies and two new bras because they were on sale (I think La Senza has now seen the last of me...this was a way better find!). Also got some cocoa butter and scrub from the Body Shop for softening up my Summer feeties.

Then, while window shopping, I stopped into Aldo, mostly just looking, but well you know how it goes.... found a pair of gold strappy sandals that I really liked but of course they didn't have in my size (they rarely have 10s or 11s). So the salesguy recommends that I can just have them ordered in and delivered to my house....say what?! Yup, basically like ordering online, only since he does all the work he still gets the sale...fine with me. He was very helpful and deserves the commission, it didn't cost anything extra, and if they don't fit or I don't like them I can just return them to the store. This could get dangerous. :)


I also stopped and looked at some beds because we need one for our spare room. We don't want anything expensive, but I'm not looking at the $399 ones because they are too crappy. Anyway, long story short was that the particular store I went in did have a set that I liked and it was only $30 over my max, but the guy was a schmuck so I think I'll keep looking. Sort of a nice guy, but I could tell he was bullshitting me and I hate that.


Picked up some groceries on the way home and had BBQ'd steaks and corn on the cob for dinner. So yum! After dinner we went for a walk around the neighborhood, then a drive to the video store. Picked up In Bruge...don't do it, it was supposed to be good and quirky, but it was more weird and boring...and also the first disk of the first season of Mad Men. Watched one episode and so far, so good...but it's no HBO show. :)

I'm so off Old Navy for that very reason. It's always messy, the clothes fit funny, and there's never anyone around to help you.
