SCORE!

I just found my new favorite shoe store. I may be a bit biased because the woman said they just got a new shipment in. They had lots of navy dress sandals -- just what I needed for my friends' wedding!

So, I bought my first pair of shoes that comes with its own storage bag. They were only $60 retail, then the reduced price of the store. I feel all fancy though. I keep looking for a photo online, but to no avail. I could take a picture, but I am feeling lazy. You will have to trust me that they are great.

I also scored at Tar-jay. My brother sent me a gift card from the other coast for my birthday. I had been wanting a glass iced tea dispenser thing in which I could make sun tea and then use the little spigot in the fridge to pour. Tar-jay only has plastic ones. SO, I bought this AMAZING container for transporting cookies and brownies and stuff.Amazing, huh? I also got a cute new umbrella. My old one has been to Australia and China with me but has a big bleach spot and doesn't open all the way on its own. My new one is a little smaller and black with small different colored polka dots.

I also bought a sweater shaver, something I have wanted for a while.

In other scoring news, not too long ago, Spark gave me this:I kept not posting about it and not posting about it until I NEEDED something to post about. But, if you do not realize already, I am full of "it" and always manage to write something. So thanks, Spark! Hope you did not think I missed it. My Mom always told me to say thanks. :-)

I am still on my shopping high. Lots of deals; lots of stuff I had been wanting. Here are some other great things from the weekend.

My friend and I at our friend's wedding.Contra dancing in the room where the ceremony had been earlier.
That is the groom in the white tunic untucked and dark jeans. Did I mention it was a fairly casual wedding? People had changed into their jeans at this point, but it was still pretty low-key. I hesitate to put a bunch of people-pictures up, so this is what you will get. :-)

See, I can not stop smiling!!!

UPDATE (in case you managed to read the post in the 20 minutes before I updated it). SCORE! number three. I love this new post over at Sarcastic Mom. This is not a SCORE! in an exciting, I-just-found-a-deal kind of way. It is more of a this-is-so-poetic-and-beautiful kind of way.

I'm for anything that will enable the transportation of brownies to me!! You are bringing me brownies aren't you???

Jenski said...

Ron, how do you like them? I van add chocolate chips, crushed up candy cane, toasted hazelnuts... :)

that case is perfect. I've seen the ones specifically for cupcakes, but that one looks practical for any kind of goodies. Yum!

I'm all about the chocolate chips!!!

You sound sooooo excited, and therefore, I'm excited for you. Shoes are particularly awesome. I could use some navy dress shoes, too! I feel like whenever I'm looking for shoes for a particular purpose, I can never find what I'm looking for, so I'm glad that you found some that suit your needs!

The carrying case looks really cool. :-)

I'm happy that you found great shoes and had such a good time at your friends' wedding.

Nah, I didn't think you'd missed it. :-)

Nice brownie caddy! Can I have mine with candy canes? ;-)

Looks like you had a fun, fun weekend! I love contra dancing. I did it a couple times in college - what a great idea for a wedding. Also, the ride from your house to mine is the perfect distance by which to test the capacity of your new dessert tote. Mm-hm.

Jenski said...

Maxie, I have to bake lots of different stuff to try it out!

Ron, virtual chocolate chip brownie thoughts currently being sent your way.

Molly, maybe we should go shoe shopping!

Danielle, I love doing stuff outside of work. ;)

Spark, virtual candy cane brownie thoughts being send YOUR way now!

KHC, any requests?
