Tuning Out

As I am writing this I am trying to tune out my husband's watching of Saving Private Ryan, it's on TV, but since we have cable I have no idea what station and some of them aren't as edited as I'd like. Of course I was watching Shaun of the Dead earlier this morning and it was hilarious, but I am not sure I'd want to see the blood and guts of a zombie-esque movie.

Most of my weekend was spent shopping - what else do you do when you get paid out your vacation? Save money, pay off credit cards, pay down loans? I'll do some of that too - I only spent about $150.00 to get some more 'work appropriate tops'. This also involved buying a couple of camisoles which cover more than the average shirt as my current job is more aware of 'low cut' than my last job.

I did get one top at Kohls, but was dissapointed in their 'Vera Wang' collection, it didn't have as much as I'd hoped and the items that I was interested in were not available in my size. I went to JCPenney and Marshalls too. JCPenney has good selection, but not always the best prices (for some reason any top over $30.00 looses it's appeal) and Marshalls, as always, was a little hit and miss. That's my shopping adventure for the next few months.

Scott's mom went into the hospital Wednesday night for emergency surgery and Scott drove down there Thursday morning. She seems to be doing well by now, but if you could all keep her in your prayers it'd be appreciated!

My new job is going well. Aside from the wonderful view, I am really liking the job, and my coworkers all seem to be very nice. My job is to make sure everybody gets paid and gets paid the right amount; I find it exciting to be the one responsible. Nothing else much to report, I am still learning and getting better all the time.

definitely check out H&M. i poo-pooed it for a long time, but most of my cute shirts come from there. oh, that and Super Target. go figure? and i agree, if i have to pay more than $30 for a shirt, i'm more inclined to walk away empty handed. ah well.

We don't have H&M here, I am a little bummed that I can't check out what they have! The top that was $30.00 at JCPenney was a Nicole Miller, and I guess it makes sense for a brand name at that price.

Still praying for Scott's mom!

And you are getting BETTER all the time. ;)
Love,
Mom
