…Weekend Update

I headed down to Lansing with Mom and Dad this weekend. It was like old times–Dad sitting in union meetings and Mom and I hittin’ the malls. We got into Lansing around 1…just in time for Dad’s meeting…checked into our room..and we were on our way to the Meridian Mall. Lunch was at Ruby Tuesday’s and then we shopped around for a bit before deciding to head over to the Lansing Mall. We didn’t know exactly where we were going and had to stop a couple of times for directions. On our way to the Lansing Mall we spotted the Capitol Building and decided to stop and look around since Mom had never been to the State Capitol. It was SO cold..but we looked around and took pics for over half an hour. You can see more pics at my Flickr page.

At the Lansing Mall, we started out at the new TJ Maxx…love my store so much! Really had to show some constraint there…they had the complete set of dining chairs that I’ve been eying for over a month now. *sigh* Only stopped at a few other stores..bought a couple of really cute things I’ve been thinking about lately….a cute little copper star and a little wreath to go with my new picture wall…scored a cute pink/red/white striped hat/mitten/scarf set from Satchel. So adorable…can’t wait to take some photos out in the snow in ’em. (the only reason to look forward to *snow*)

We were supposed to be blasted by a winter storm last night and this afternoon, which made me pretty nervous about being in Lansing…but the storm stalled and all we got was a little freezing rain and a little bit of snow. Driving home wasn’t too bad.

So….tonight I’m just hanging out….eating pizza and breadsticks and waiting for the Oscars to start. Hope you all had a great weekend!
