Three on Thursday

1. Big shopping weekend last weekend. I drug Sam out to Macy's one-day sale, mostly with the hopes of buying a new matress set. The one we sleep on is at least 10 years old, and likely older than that - since I've had it for at least 8 years. My very very tolerant man agreed to humor me and let me also shop for some work clothes. Two separate Macy's trips later we are the proud owners of a new Simmon's Beautyrest Linden Plush Top. And for the extra $20 they will gladly take away our old taco shell bed - no fingers lifted. The only negative, since the mattress is made fresh to order (no heating lamps), it won't be ready & delivered until next Friday - the day before we leave for the cruise. Our house/dog sitter will get to enjoy it more than we will :)

2. What better time to splurge on fashion than a vacation - especially for someone who rarely spends time or money on fashion. A few outfits for the cruise... A new dress from the Macy's trip, it's an unusual off brown color which is making shoe shopping nearly impossible, 8 days left to find a solution. Sam really likes the dress because it gives me imaginary hips, it's a cheap cotton and so probably won't last very long, but it's sure fun for now. Also, I finally get to wear the two bathing suits that I spent a fortune on for the cruise back in March, but never had the pleasure of wearing. A Walgreen's trip and $5 later, I now have a perfectly matched toenail polish for my white sandy beach attire.

3. I thought 3 on Thursdays would be more realistic than my last attempts. But I've come to find that this was either a very boring week, or three may still be more than I can handle; and let's not even touch on the Thursday really means Friday part :) Here's to a more exciting post next week; or an update on the weather.
