The weather broke! Well... for now anyway. The high for today is in the 50's! I checked the weather this morning and at 8 am it was 45 degrees out already. I was stoked! I was very excited to get outside. Like a giddy child, I opened my front door and left for work 10 minutes early because I couldn't wait to be outside not bundled up in scarves, gloves, hoods and a heavy coat.
Likewise, I was very eager to take my lunch break. I had a $50 off a $100 purchase for NY&Co. I intended to get that trench I wrote about a couple weeks ago. Well, I walked in there and saw these really pretty graphic t's and 3/4 length sleeved sweaters. Now, when I find something that I like, I get one in black and one in another color for when I'm wearing black pants. So, I got 2 of the t's and 2 of the sweaters, and a blue short sleeved dress. Since I've recently lost quite a few L B's, I'm not as self conscious with wearing snugger fit clothes. So, I opted for a nice figure hugging Small! I really think NY&Co runs big. However, the medium cardigan that my MIL got me for Christmas was quite large on me as well. I've never been a small before.... Anyway... I digress.... Shopping... The lady convinced me to use my NY&Co. card which I never carry with me. So, she gets on the phone and I need to re-activate it. OK... Fine... She really wants me to get the points. :P So, I do and it's an addition 20% off the purchase. HOLLA!! I save more than I spend.
I get back from lunch and I'm doing my thing.... Which isn't much. :P ProFlowers drops off this box.... "Who are they for?" I think... My co-worker got flowers from her boyfriend last week.... and Dave and I never celebrate Valentine's Day. It's basically a pointless holiday to us. We don't need a "special day" to show our love. I wasn't expecting my name to be on the box. It IS my name on that box!! I was giddy with excitement! I'll have to write it down that 2/14/11 was the last time my hubby sent me flowers. It's a beautiful arrangement of pink, red and white roses.
*When I said "later" before... I meant Friday. I swear! :P
| This is from Friday morning... Yes... 4 days after I said I'd post a pic. |
| This is right after I opened them. They looked better on the second day, but I didn't take a picture of them on Tuesday. |
All in all... The BEST Monday ever!!
Hmmm...
ReplyDeleteFor someone who thinks it's a *pointless* holiday you sure sould happy-happy to have some Valentine roses...
*heh*
I agree to a point -- like all holidays its over commercialized and people buy into the hype -- but a day to celebrate love is A-OK in my book!
Sounds like you had the perfect weekend leading into the perfect Monday.
I was so happy-happy because there were zero expectations for today. And when I say zero, I mean I didn't even expect a card. :P
