gap outlet.

i HATE the gap outlet. my main reason is because when i'm shopping, i do not like to dig to find things. i like them to be readily available for me to find them. and it's always a madhouse, as it was today. my first mistake was going on a sunday afternoon, but seeing as how i had a 30% off friends and family coupon that was good through today only, i didn't have much of a choice. i can't even tell you how many times i've visited the gap outlet, only to leave with empty hands. i just get too frustrated by the amounts of people and how i can never ever find anything easily.

today, i actually left with a new pair of maternity jeans and jean capris! i was so excited. i looked through the baby stuff for about a minute and a half before i just couldn't take it anymore. all in all though, i mark the visit as a success, seeing as though i walked out with two pairs of maternity pants for under $15. score.

28 week post to come.

as promised...

mia's bedding!

it is from the amy coe collection at BRU. i LOVE it.

success!!!

after a loooong search, i have finally found my travel system! and playard...and high-chair...



for some reason i've been dead set on finding a whole set that matches...call me anal...call me whatever. i kept finding travel systems that i would sort of like or a playard, but lo and behold, there wouldn't be a matching set. i finally found a set at target, which i wasn't that happy about because i DO NOT want to register there. plus, i wasn't in love with the set, it was just the only thing i had found that i sort of liked.



then finally...i came across this:


it's pink!!!! and not over-the-top pink! and there's a playard and high-chair to match! it's a new collection from chicco, and it actually hasn't been released yet. the playard and high-chair are set to be released some time this month, while the travel system comes out in march. now all that needs to happen is for BRU to carry it, so i can add it to my registry! i'm so excited.

stupid sundays...

today reminded me why i haven't worked a sunday in months. but oh yeah, that's right...i'm trying to get a promotion, so i'm working whenever they need me in the hopes that it makes me look good. gah. today was my sixth day in row...and that followed a week in which i worked ten days in a row. it's been a crazy two weeks, and i've never been as happy to have a day off tomorrow. but enough about work.

i am in dire need of a massage. a nice, soothing, relaxing massage. get all the kinks in my neck worked out. my neck is very kinky. and not in a good way.

did i tell you guys that i'm going for a promotion at work? in the first paragraph of this blog? i did? huh. but yeah, i'm going for a promotion. granted, it's only a seasonal promotion, but it gets my foot in the door for the future. my interview is friday. i'm nervous and excited at the same time. my plan is to be pessimistic (who, me?), so if i don't get it, i won't be too disappointed. keep your fingers and toes crossed for me.

today's blog was going to be a max fashion show. i know, i know. you're disappointed that you didn't get to see me torture my dog in little people clothes. by the time i finally got home from the store tonight, i was a tad bit too tired to dress him up in multiple outfits and take pictures. plus, some of my stories premiered tonight (yay desperate housewives and brothers & sisters!), and i had three dvr'd episodes of army wives to catch up on. important stuff. have no fear though, the fashion show will happen tomorrow. you'll love it. my dog is a cutie. no bias here at all.

also planning some retail therapy tomorrow with the hubs. he owes me. he came home with an xbox 360 the other night without telling me. after we mutually decided two nights before that we didn't need one. yeah, there's been some drama in our house. i'm letting it go though. i can't stay mad at him. i'll share the goods with y'all tomorrow!
