Another great shopping day. Amazing deals at Gap Outlet and Steve and Barry's. I love these stores. I was looking for winter things in the middle of spring and I scored huge. Why winter? Well it's 45 degrees HIGH in Chicago and I'm going this wednesday! Spontaneous trips rule! It's be so fun and of course another city to check off my list. So I'm preparing with some new long sleeve tops..I got 3 of them for less than $3 each! yup. Couldn't help getting a bunch of other stuff at such great deals.

I'm having an awesome day! Work was busy and blah but after work, I decided to skip my tuesday track workout and go to the mall. I got a massage instead. Foot reflexology its called at the "So Relax" place where all you do is walk in and for 20 min it's $25. I was considering a $90+ sports massage at a regular dayspa but this was all I really needed to get the kinks out of my lower legs for running. I upgraded to a combo for only $3 more and got a 10min chair massage as well. Very well worth it to get all the kinks out and really massage you. I still like the dayspa but this was a good quick way to get the same physical benefits.

Afterwards, I went to Victoria Secret to get my "free panty" with my coupon that mail every other month..then on to Macy's to find something to buy so I could use my giftcard. I had been looking for a contemporary pink and brown shower curtain for a while now and I found it here! On the clearance table. Score! Looking online doesn't always give you all their inventory so I'm glad I stopped by here...and at a clearance price to boot!

I cannont believe how great a deal I got with this moving out thing. My roommates are soo cool. I was worried about living with roommates for the longest and so far it's been really good. Today, one of them rearranged the living and dining area and it's very HGTV. I came home and she and her friend are watching HGTV! I keep learning about stuff I have in common with these girls and each time I just feel like I fit here more and more. They were talking about painting together (they have paintings in the new dining room decor) and taking cheesy roommate pictures to put in the living room. I'm just excited about all the possibilities of this whole situation. It just seems to work. I get enough privacy in my master bedroom where I can escape if I feel like it but I also get all the benefits of living in a house. Usually, it's empty as well since everyone is so busy. The new things in my life are for the better for sure.

Explored my new hood a bit today. Found the closest jack in the box and they have Raspberry ice tea!!! yea baby! I don't ever remember a jbx having that! Went into the 99cent store and man this one is aweome. The 99cent I remember growing up with didn't have as many things as this one did. It's good for those mundane items that are more expensive...like dish sponges. Also found the North Island bank for chris, my bank, the CVS, and a bunch of other little places I'd like to discover...yay.

Went to the dentist recently. I got a new Keep my teeth clean goal cuz man it's expensive and insurance doesn't cover much. They gave me this nasty rinse to use. How am I supposed to be excited about using this rinse if it tastes nasty? ecck.

I've been watching America's Best Dance Crew on mtv...I'm totally LOVIN' Jabawockeez! I love Kaba Modern too! wooooo! fun stuff. Todays episode, there are celebrities watching now..like Miley cyrus and Mario...keeps getting better.

In other news...I'm moving this weekend! Out of my parents house for the first time. I always thought I would go straight to buying a place..but it's just ridiculous how much it costs to do that. I have cash for the downpayment but still not enough to do the monthly mortgage. I kept thinking about it and I still want to do so much...like travel. There's no way I could travel and keep up with a mortgage...so I'm renting...why not stay and keep saving? Because I feel like I've outgrowned this space and this life. I need room to grow...literally and mentally. I'm busting out the seams in this room it's so small. I don't have room to start buying stuff for my future place and I don't have a real mattress for bed. I'm moving into a master bedroom and into a house with girls my own age. I bought a QUEEN sized comfy mattress. I cannot wait to sleep on that thing. Awesome location and very reasonable price. Overall this is a very good thing.

i just realized...sometimes it's ok to just look at a picture of a thing (like that bag) because I know that after a few months of use, it's not so useful anymore when I don't really need it as it is. It's just cute...that's it. I don't need it right now. yup. nice to look at is just fine.
