So after the freaking blizzard that was never called a blizzard (aka the whole damn month of january) I finally got my car dug out and got to the bank and deposited my Christmas money. And then I went shopping! Actually first I went to cellphone service provider to finally drop off my paystub. The fuckers won't alter the last bill or this current billing cycle to reflect my employer-negotiated discount. Assholes.
But then it was MALL TIME!!
I hit two stores, Icing (which I think was onced called Icing by Claire's?) and Sephora. Most of my spending was at Icing. I got 4 pairs of earrings (one was even lil rose earrings like Sailor Jupiter's) and a crapload of pretty hairtoys. Mostly pretty clips that can decorate my little buns, but also some jeweled hairpins. Lots of flowers. I even found a lovely silk rose on a clip. a rustic brown headwrap and a cute casual ribbon with fake jewels headwrap. And bows on clips. And nearly half the hairtoys were clearanced! And the ones that were not clearance were still buy 1 and the 2nd is half off. And the real cool thing is how they did the bogo pricing... if I got 2 $8 bow and 2 $4 bow, they priced an $8 and a $4 half off, instead of having both $8s be full and just halving the $4s. How awesome is that? Plus!! Many of my clearance items had a second stacking clearance that wasn't marked on the tags. Which in some cases made a huge difference. It was a $3 flat rate for several different items. The hairpins were marked were marked $4.25 so slight drop there, but my pretty sparkley headwrap was marked $8.25 but it was included in the list so it was actually $3!! Score!! Also got this weird thing called hairagami (marked 4.50 but was $3) and some fake hair extensions in bright pink. The clip-in variety. I already had a green one so now I have pink too! Oh! And a sparkley evening handbag that had a full body chain strap hidden inside it. Bro is getting married next year and I already have my fancy purse! I hate carrying things so I'm sooo happy I found such a pretty cross-body bag. It was marked $13 but rang up $9 so score again.
All told I got 22 items for just under $100 and that total included the 7% tax rate. Then ofc I hit Sephora on my way back to my car, because I am an addict and always conveniently park by the Sephora entrance, and hit their clearance racks. Even tho the highest priced item was $7 my bill was still $32 before tax. I am a shopaholic! Has anyone seen Superwoman's signs of a shopaholic video? Goto youtube right now and put "superwoman shopaholic" in the search bar and it will pop up. It is soooo me right now. I spent way too much and instead of being mad at myself for wasting money, I feel flippin fantastic.
Oh and I also finally got a new microSD card for my phone. That wasn't covered by the Christmas money though. But it will be nice to be able to take pictures again. And I. Need to clear out my shower before I can wash my hair tonight. Wanna hear a funny storyy? Ok so Mom just got addicted to Battlestar Galactica. She's been up all night a few times watching it on Netflix. So ofc she's not doing any dishes. she eats and then just plops it in the sink. So lately I use this plastic bin to wash my cups and water bottles in my shower, cuz my sink isn't big enough and it would take way to much time to make the kitchen sink usable. I'm weird that way. If I get in a dish washing mood I want to make the sudsy water right away or I say "forget it". I put my dirty dishes on the counter. I hate clearing and cleaning the sink before I can wash dishes. Especially since the counter beside the sink is half the size of the sink itself. I'd be piling dirty dishes on the stove if I cleared the sink! And many of those dishes would be wet since the tap both drips and still gets used no matter. How full the sink is! Could we compromise and say at least half of the sink should be clear at all times? Egad!
