Manic Monday

I almost didn't think I'd get this entry in today!!

Currently:

Reading: Still yet to be determined :(

Feeling: Like there is an eyelash in my eye

Needing to: clean off my craft table

Listening to: Tangled on TV in the background

Working on: Deciding my goals for the work

Wishing I was: NOT so tired!! (who else wants to boycott DST??)

I changed my nails today! And matched them with my new shirt!

Weekend Wrap-Up:

Friday evening I went to eat at Taziki's in Little Rock. It's a Mediterranean Greek type food. It was excellent. I already can't wait to go back! Saturday was a FULL day of shopping. Accompanied by Shari, Marta, and my little girl we took on the mall! I'm pretty sure the stores won this round!! I found some really good stuff though. First stop was Bed, Bath, and Beyond were I got 3 new Tervis Tumblers. A Tinkerbell one for Brynn, a LSU and a Star Wars one for me.

Next stop was the mall. I've been wanting to get a third hole in my ear (just one side) for a while now so I finally decided to do it when we were in Claire's. Plus I got several new pairs of earrings.

Plus Shari and I found a really amazing glasses!

Not sure it gets much cooler than that!! Brynn had lots of fun herself riding around in her Princess car!

From there we went to The Container Store and finally to Kohls. Here is where I did some amazing saving! For those that don't know, my kiddo is a GIANT! She's only three but basically the size of a five-year-old. So I really needed to get her some new clothes. Ended up getting....

(all this for her)

(and this for me!!) 

Total $548

Paid $188

Saved $360!

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!! I was so excited about all the stuff I got. Brynn was too, she said this was her SUPER HAPPY FACE:

Sunday was fairly uneventful (or so I thought). I've been looking for a new television lately since the one in our living room went out. I had found a 32inch flat screen LCD Sanyo at Walmart with a built-in DVD player for $378. Well since it had been on sale I thought I should go ahead and get it while it was in stock and on sale. At the last minute I decided to go to Best Buy just to see if there was anything close to what I saw there. Definitely didn't think I'd be walking out with a 42inch flat screen LCD Dynex for $315!! No, it didn't have a built in DVD player but I was able to buy a Philips HDMI DVD player and still come out less that the smaller TV from Walmart. Needless to say, I'm in heaven now!!! Internet and an amazing TV?! This is good stuff!!

Sunday evening I went to Walmart to pick up a few things. Not long after I got there, the power went out. Just just like off and back on... like, backup generators are powering Walmart out. With the flood of calls and texts I soon realize it's almost the entire city! After figuring out how far spread it was, decided it must be an Entergy transmission line that services Benton Utilities and First Electric (I work at First Electric). I was sure we were in for a long night. Luckily power was back on in just a couple hours after I got back home. If my hall light hadn't been left on I probably wouldn't have even noticed until the morning.

So it was a good and interesting weekend. Obviously I didn't get to post using my new Internet connection at home but as you can see, I didn't have much time!! Okay, I'm seriously going to clean off my craft table before I go to bed.

In closing... can you tell I'm ready for the Hunger Games release??
