Yesterday was fabulous...until dinner
We've been married 6 months as of yesterday! No pulling a Kim Kardashian on this one, hah.
We decided to celebrate by going out for lunch and dinner, and shop for clothes and other goodies the entire day. We went to Melty Way, a grilled cheese sandwich shop for lunch and it was good. Dave stopped at Dick's sporting goods to buy a gift for one of his brothers.
I stopped at Bed, Bath, and Beyond to browse but didn't buy anything since I didn't bring my 20% off coupons. There was an engaged couple there with their scanning gun and list...I pity the fools. Read my registry post HERE
I stopped at the Dollar Store for Xmas decorations but didn't see anything I liked.
At Target, I picked out a sweet gift for my sister-in-law. Target had women clothing for 30-70% off clearance too.
We stopped at World Market for some wrapping paper and funny ornaments.
Then we headed off to the mall! I stopped at Nordstroms and Sephora and ended up with funky colors of nail polish from Sephora for one of my sisters since she loves nail art. Dave went to J Crew to buy an outfit for Christmas with my family. At J Crew, they have these suede flats in pretty colors. I saw a pair of bright blue flats my size that were marked down to...$49.99!!! Retail is around the $130 range. Even better, J Crew had a sale yesterday of 30% off your entire purchase. So these Italian leather flats ended up costing me $35. That was way cheaper than what I've seen at the J Crew outlet in Park City.
You can find the shoes HERE The color I have is "AZURE" blue. I hope to get other pairs in black and "jazzy purple"
One of my favorite uncles once told me that because of my age, I needed to budget more for better grown up clothing and decent haircuts and color.
That, and other factors were what pushed me to shop at stores like LOFT and more recently, Ann Taylor. I like these stores because most of the clothing fits my frame and work well in and out of work. I'm slowly weaning into pants that aren't the color of denim so I bought grey pants along with a pretty and delicate ivory knit sweater. HERE and HERE
We stopped at Crate and Barrel and purchase another ornament.
After shopping we went to Olive Garden. Our waitress was a sweet gal but she had a bad day since she didn't come to check on us often and she forgot my soup. We could tell she was crying. Dave ordered a chicken alfredo pizza which we ended up sharing since my soup never showed up.
I fail at reminding myself that when I get sick at restaurants it is usually from:
1) cheese on pizza or
2) grilled chicken not cooked all the way.
Within minutes, my stomach was acting up and off to the restroom I went. It got worse and my meal ended up on the bathroom floor.
This lady in the bathroom heard what happened, offered to help and she went to go get Dave ("He's Asian. And he's wearing all black"). I took a hot bath when we got home and Dave went to the grocery store.
Along with what we planned to get grocery wise, he got Pepto, Popsicles (for hydrating with the sensation of eating) and a mini Xmas tree! That made me feel better.
My stomach felt iffy throughout the night so I didn't make it to church today.
Interestingly enough, I had food poisoning the day after our wedding. Inconvenient coincidence. I think it was from traveling between airports (germ-ville) and because I was sweating soo much underneath my dress and got extremely dehydrated. So, DRINK MORE WATER THAN USUAL ON YOUR WEDDING DAY.
At Olive Garden, I did barf on my black flats but they were old, inexpensive pairs from Payless.
My new pair of flats will make for that pair which Dave threw away, along with the leftover pizza.
