Shopping!!!

So . .
The family went shopping last night at the mall for a couple of reasons.

1) tomorrow, I get to use a 35% discount on all shoes and handbags at work (Yes!!)

2) Jeff had gift cards to use at Dill*rds and Penneys

3) I needed to go to work and get someone to cover my shift for Thursday

We had a good time, Alaina was a little rebellious for some of the trip, but at her age I figure that's the norm. . .

But Sunday was a fun day!

I worked most of the day, but while I was there we found two boxes of stuff that was clearance and someone forgot to put out on the rack a month ago. So it was now a box of $4.99 shirts. I got to go through it first and pick out my size and brought home 4 really good shirt for $3.99 each.(discount!)

Yes!

And then when I got home, we had the moment of the day . . . Jeff, Alaina and I got to dance!

We played the credits from Shrek 2 and danced out little hearts out to "I need a hero!" It was wonderful!

I've also started really taking advantage of my library card, 10 books already! A couple of them are ones that I'm just rereading for the fun of it, but this is sooooo much better than buying all those books!

It's so much better that I'm thinking about getting rid of some of the books I have at home now and only keeping the best of the best . . . anything else, I can borrow from the library when I want.

OOOHHHH!!!!! BOOK SALE?!?!?!

I too love bargains and dancing with the kids. Life can be so rewarding, can't it?!?!

I was at the mall on Saturday and ended up with almost nothing. It was not a success. Glad that yours was better.

Tix are in the mail. Should be there tomorrow or Thursday. Hopefully tomorrow.

selling books? remember the last time we did this? we ended up rebuying most of them and searching for one that we wanted to re-read for almost two years. I say no... but it's your attic....
