I have not blogged in so long!!! I really miss blogging about my purchases for the day and what I have done. I think that I will try to start this up again even if no one really reads it. It's okay, at least when I look back, I can see what I did and bought. Let's start with the weekend shall we?
Saturday: I worked the closing shift. Everyone was going out to a party or something at work and that's what everyone seemed to be talking about. Me? My plan was to go back home, watch the rest of my Hannah Montana DVD that I got from Netflix (what? I want to know what the hype is about)... and eat some leftover Chinese comfort food from the night before. I kind of wanted to go out last night and be wild and crazy... stay out until 3 in the morning and get dressed up like a hoochie mama. That's what I felt like I SHOULD be doing... BUT... I am a bit lazy and like to stay home. I like staying home on Friday & Saturday nights even though I KNOW I should be going out like everyone else. Ok, I take that back... I DO want to go out sometimes, just not all the times. I really had no parties to go to last night so I guess I really didn't miss out on much right?
Sunday: Woke up early to go to Noelle's Birthday Party at The Gym. Ok, let me start by saying... if you didn't have a child at this thing, there was nothing for you to do but eat and drink coffee. It was my job to get the bagels at Noah's and coffee at Peet's. I felt like such a good person waking up early (for me) and running some errands. After the party, I went to Centinela Feed to get Winky some cat litter. They were having a promotion today and I got 20% off and a free catnip toy for Winky. Let me say that with Winky being 19, I didn't think she still cared about catnip let alone... is able to even smell it... I mean, she IS completely deaf... BUT she LOVED IT! She played with that little catnip toy for a good 20 minutes before she got tired and rested.
After I drove across the street to Target. I saw the Mexican Guy sitting on the sidewalk with his cart of fruit and made a mental note to park close enough to him so that on my way out from Target, I could casually stop by the cart and get me some Fruit with Chili & Lime. Went to Target and bought Simply Grapefruit Juice, Raisin Bran Cereal, Pepper Jack Cheese Squares, Shampoo (bc it was on sale), Pimple Medicine (because I need it), and I think that's it! Why did I go to Target? Oh... no reason. I just wanted to walk around and see what there was to buy. After that, I walked to my car, dropped off my purchases and made me way across the bushes to the man with the fruit. As soon as I got home, you better believe I plopped in my desk chair and opened my plastic bag of fruit and ate away. It was tasty. My sister asked me how I knew if it was safe to eat or not... mmm, because it tasted good and for some reason, Mexicans always have the best fruit. It's amazing... and I am not sick yet... so I will believe that the man did not try to poison me.
Now I am sitting in sweatpants and being lazy the rest of the day waiting for Chris to get off work.

Tea & Shopping!
Two posts in one week? AMAZING! I even thought about writing yesterday but all I did was work so that wouldn't make for an interesting post. What IS interesting is what I ended up purchasing yesterday though... I know I know... I shouldn't be buying anything in this economic slump... but here we go anyway!
First up is this new perfume that I got. I've been trying to find a new one since the one that I originally use is almost gone, so I found this! It came with a free mirror that you can use as a tray to put all your perfumes or hanging on your wall. I am currently using it as a tray on my desk shelf.
The second thing I purchased is this Botkier handbag. I found it on sale in the Handbag department a few days ago and have been stashing it in my office ever since. Also, I could not stop looking and thinking about it. Good thing I bought it too because I have another Botkier bag I bought in November that is tearing at the handle seams and the repair guy at work said it will cost $75... forget THAT. My store manager said I could return it, so then... the bag I bought won't be so expensive since it'll be replacing the other one. Which I really loved... such a shame. This one is HUGE and super soft though. Chris thinks it's made out of calf.... poor baby cows.
So it is NPG week... which means that all Nordstrom brand products at 40% off. I found these cute shoes for only about $50 with my discount. I hardly have ANY brown shoes for going out and since I hardly ever go out, it's not bad to spend $50 right? Well, I didn't really need them but they're so cute with jeans! :-)
So that's what happened yesterday. Oh, I also knocked out at 9:30pm even though I was supposed to wake up at 11pm to play with all my new stuff, that didn't happen. I slept til 1am and then brushed my teeth, read a magazine and then fell back asleep until 9:45am. Woke up early today to go to Chado to get Afternoon Tea with Kat & Crystal. Had Vanilla Coconut tea with Smoked Salmon, Cucumber, & Chicken with Cranberry sandwiches and a scone of course!
After tea we went walking through Old Town. Had to go to Urban to return some stuff I had purchased online so we did that first and then went to Forever 21. Everyone found some cool stuff there but me. :-( I did find this French Press at Crate & Barrel. Granted, Chris bought me a nice one for Christmas but even though it's a "3-cup," it's only 12 ounces so after I had realized how much I like French Press Coffee, I decided to get a "4-Cup," 17 ounce one. Wow, that really isn't that much bigger is it? Well, I just want one that will make me a full cup I guess. The next size up is twice the size and I don't really need one that big since it's just me drinking it and by the time I finish my first cup, the second cup will be cold.
After shopping in Old Town, Kat and I went to Target in Pasadena. I purchased cat food for Winky, Swiffer Dusters Refills, contact solution, eye drops, Arrowhead water, Fiber One Chewy Bar *Oats & Caramel* (soooo tasty by the way), dishwashing soap, and starch for Chris. After that shopping was done, I came home and unpacked EVERYTHING I bought today and yesterday and started to organize it all in my room. Watched "No Reservations" with Catherine Zeta-Jones and Aaron Eckhart which was actually pretty good. Then took a nap.
When Chris finally got off work after 8pm, he drove out and we went to Gyu-Kaku for dinner and then walked to Cheesecake Factory so that I could buy a slice of White Chocolate Raspberry Truffle Cheesecake... yum!!! Now I am currently devouring that while sipping on a cup of tea.
Off again tomorrow... hooray! :-)

Clean Thursday
I have not written in this thing in so long and I totally miss chronicling my life through this. I have gone on so many trips that I wish I had written in here to remember what I did. Oh well... maybe I will try to start writing in this more often.
Today was a lazy day. I woke up at 11:30am and then decided to lay in my sister's bed with Winky. That lasted until 2pm when I finally got myself out of bed. I made some coffee with my french press and ate a bowl of Honey Bunches of Oats with Almonds... yum. While all this was going on, I basically just sat online, surfed the web, chatted on AIM, oh! and cleaned my room. I'm trying to simplify my desk and my room so that I do not have so much clutter! I wish my room was bigger and I keep thinking that one day when I move out and have my own place, I'll have a bigger closet so all my clothes can fit and my living space will be bigger... so that means I should not throw anything away since one day I might need it. Horrible thinking right? *sigh*
So anyway, I vacuumed and dusted my room. My room is now free of all dust and anything in the corners of my room. hooray!
After all that, I finally took a shower and got ready to go out to buy Winky cat food and dinner. Went to Ralph's down the street to buy cat litter, cat food, and something to drink. Stumbled upon Vernon's which i LOVE... and Limeade (which doesn't taste too good). Then went to Teri&Yaki to pick up dinner for my family and me.
That's all I did today. I have to open tomorrow so I have to sleep by 11pm. So far, I think I'm just going to watch some How I Met Your Mother DVD's and then eventually go to bed. Good night!
