…Weekend Update

Thom and I drove down to Hot Springs on Saturday {it’s a 2 1/2 hour drive}. Thom met up with a guy about some speakers and I did some shopping 🙂

My first stop was the local TJ Maxx. I’d been there before. It’s a way-smaller store than my own. It’s about the size of the store in Muskegon, but their merchandise level was so low and picked through. We just completed inventory, so pretty much every store is like that right now. I did find some things though ……2 shirts, a small quiche/tart pan, some socks, and this:

Next, I found the Hot Springs Mall. I had such high hopes for this, since it was in a tourist town and all. Alas, it was old, smelly, full of old people sitting around on yucky, dirty furniture, and the selection of shops was terrible. I did manage to spend some cash, however. Sears has a sale on socks, buy one get one free {I really needed some new socks :)}.

The Shoe Dept. also had some good deals….and I walked away wearing these spiffy new shoes:

Mudd shoes! And half off the already twice marked down price! Only $10.

Bath & Body Works has their Semi-Annual Sale going on right now. Usually I don’t like smelly stuff, ie: body lotions, cheap perfumes, BUT I do love the Magnolia Blossom body lotion partly because it was the “scent” I was wearing when Thom and I first met and he loved it so much and it reminds us of those early days of “us.” {sigh}

So, of course they’re discontinuing it. I was down to my last bottle {of 6} that I bought at the last semi-annual sale {last January!}. I had left my name and phone number with the girls at the B&B Works in Conway {the city I work in} thinking there was NO WAY they’d ever call me if they received any shipments of the MB lotion. Surprisingly, they called on Friday night saying they were holding some for me. Yay. 10 bottles and $30 later, I’m stocked for awhile.

Riveting stuff. I know. Humor me, people!

It’s Sunday morning and I’m up early doing my usual Sunday routine: laundry, checking email and blogs….enjoying sunshine and quiet…and trying to figure out how to spend the next 12 1/2 hours left of the weekend 🙂 Hope yours has been a good one. Would love to hear how you spent it!
