Today I did a little shopping and got soaking wet.

If I didn't know better I would tell you I was in a rainforrest today, the raindrops were huge, they were coming down fast, so fast my windshield wipers could barely keep up. Every time I went in or out of a store my clothing would become more soaked. I told this to my mom and she said I would have to start carrying an umbrella like people who live over here. Logic...I kinda don't have that sometimes. But to my defence I walk into a garage and start driving, I don't realize the rain until it is too lake. Anyway, through the rain I had an awesome shopping trip.

My first stop was supposed to be Macy's because I had some wedding money to spend still, but I got a text from Paul asking me to look up a few things on the computer (which I had brought with me) so I stopped by his store (which I was already going to do but later to show him some dining room tables on craigslist that I wanted to look at and get his opinion on). So I surprised him, and then he surprised me by saying he needed to pick up some cakes at a safeway 10 minutes away from him, so we went together, went to taco bell for a quick lunch date and then I dropped him back off at work and went on with my shopping.

First came Macy's. I got 4 of those cute glass bowls to put snacks in, I have been needing them because I hate using a napkin or a huge bowl. I got that grippy thing because well, I only own one cheap oven mitt and that thing is awesome! I got 2 new brown bath towels and 3 new hand towels. Now I can throw one set in the laundry and not have to worry about rushing to finish the load so we can shower again. :) And hand towels, I like to wash those often, so nice to have so many. The shoes were 5 dollars at goodwill and I LOVE them. They are brand new, one of those overflow things goodwill gets, I will tell you how I know this in a second.

I also got this awesome make-up mirror, something I have wanted for a long time but never bought because they always seem way to expensive. This one was 30, but bought with a wedding money gift card so it didn't seem bad. And get this. My Macy's total was dropped 35% because of using a form of macys cash to pay (15%) and then using a 20% off coupon they had at the register that another customer told me about. So so so awesome! :)

Ps. I was totally on the phone with my mom while taking all of these pictures. The phone is tucked in my right ear in the mirror pictures. I was talking too. Gotta love multitasking!

For the longest time I have wanted a breakfast tray or whatever these things are called. While Paul and I were living in the apartment, and had no place to put one, I found this beauty at Target for like 7.99 or something. It sat in the closet at the apartment for months, until we moved actually. Then when we moved to the new house I pulled it out. It sat with the collage of store bought pictures and mat in it until just a few days ago when I decided to get down to business. I made this collage from some scrapbook paper I already had while Amber read readers digest in my craft room. I love having company, company I feel comfortable with just being around but not having a need to talk. Just having another human being present, and when we want to talk we do. Such a good feeling. :) And I love how my tray turned out! It now sits in the family room on the loveseat. I still need to buy a coffee table and I go to goodwill as often as I can to find one, but so far Goodwill has let me down. Soon I will find one!

I did get something else awesome at goodwill today though! I bought a dining room table and four chairs for just 69.99. I texted this picture to Paul to ask for his approval, he said ok, I bought it, and we will pick it up tonight. I got the final piece of furniture for our house, it's cheaper than any set on craigslist, and it is only 7 minutes away from our house! We are picking the rest of it up tonight with the truck ( I brought two chairs home with me already).

I also got this cute basket to sit on the back of the toilet and hold a couple rolls of toilet paper and the bathroom spray for only $0.99.

Now I am just chilling at home and drinking tea, contemplating what to make for dinner, thinking about watching an episode of house, wishing I could watch an episode of Heros (my new addiction as of yesterday, but I am not allowed to watch it without Paul). I used to think people were weird for being so addicted to the show, I understand now. Every episode leaves you hanging, so hard to stop watching when you have them all instantly in front of you on Netflix!

Oh and one last thing. Paul and I filed our taxes last night. Jointly. :) Love being married!
