New Things

Well it has been a while since my last post. Life has been busy as per usual. But things are beginning to slow down a bit as the semester winds down. Phew...I can almost breath. Anyways, I have two days off this week, today and tomorrow and I plan to use them well. I spent time today sleeping and reading and just relaxing. Then this afternoon I met up with my lovely girl Darla and we went to the mall to do some shopping. I recently received a nice tax return and my yearly Wal-Mart bonus check so I had some money that I could spend. Because I am a student, I seldom have any money to spend, even if I wanted to so this was a change for me.

People who know me know that I am very frugal with my money and this became painfully obvious when I entered the mall and realized that I had not been there since December, when I was Christmas shopping. There were so many new stores that I had never heard of. Amazing. Whole new world. So I told Darla that my mission was to get a new purse as the one that I am currently using is falling to bits, literally. I am not sure why the strap has not broken all the way off yet. I have a hard time spending money on myself. As well I really wanted to get a pair of practical yet cute black shoes with a tiny, and I repeat tiny heel, as I am a horrible high heel shoe walker. I tend to fall, or walk like I am inebriated. So that was the mission.

Boy oh boy did I do well!! :) I had to splurge a bit on the shoes but they are awesome and I love them to bits and they are good quality. But I got my purse for less than $15! It's very cute as well. For once in my life I feel like I am trendy...sort of! :) This is a first for me. I have never really been fashion forward, I just wear whatever I want if it's comfy. Well the shoes are comfy but oh so cute and the purse if practical and cute and was such a good price.

We ended our evening attending a very lively and spirited church service and it was awesome! Totally refreshing and renewing to spend time praising God with fantastic praise music in a lively and spiritual environment. The perfect end to a perfect day. Ahhhh....I feel refreshed!
