A Bargain Buy!

over the weekend, i had to run to the mall to get some watch batteries replaced. while i was there, i wanted to look for a new comforter for our bed, pick up a new anastasia eye brow pencil and a zoya pixie dust nail polish. i did all those things, and also came across these darling leopard print flats.

i was walking by the stores, when these babies caught my eye... in the window of Payless Shoes! Now, not to be a snob, but i'm not one to usually shop in that store. In the past, i've just found their shoes to be uncomfortable. So i kept walking..... i got about 200 ft away and thought to myself, "well maybe these will be different, after all they're squishy flats!" So i did an about face and went to try them on.

They. are. awesome.

And the best part? $19.99.
Ka-ching!

If you're looking for a perfect and comfy pair of flats for fall, Payless is the place to go. They also have them in a cute beige color too! Happy shopping!

Highs & Lows

Posting late Wednesday night, since i've been slammed at work all week. Figure it might be easier to break the week so far down into bullet points, since a lot has been going on...

Highs

• The weather. Um HELLO spring summer whatever this is. i got 3 words for ya. See ya Uggs! back into the closet you go and HELLO new flats!
• Speaking of flats, i can't seem to stop spending. But, i've gotten some decent stuff that i'll be posting about on the blog when i have some more time.
• I finally beat Level 102 of Candy Crush Saga. Yes, this is a high. Yes, this is embarassing. #getalife
• After hitting up about 5 stores, i finally found a coveted nail polish (which you'll see in my Nail Files link up on Friday)
• House of Lies Pain Cupcakes. G-L-O-R-I-O-U-S. i may be actually contemplating eating my second of the day as i type this...

Lows

• Allergies. Comes with the weather. As does a stinkbug i just had to kill since hubby's working late tonight. For a hot minute, i seriously thought about knocking on my next door neighbors door to come kill it.
• Remember those flats i was so jazzed about wearing? They came complete with huge painful blisters on my heels. Both of 'em. I was practically crawling through Target to get to the Band-Aid aisle.
• Laundry. It's a pain in the buttski. I have 2 loads waiting to be folded. Ain't nobody got time fo' dat! 
• My car, Salti is not happy. Her Aux Jack broke this week... in addition to the oil change, tire rotation, pressure sensor and probably brakes needing service, this is no bueno.
• And lastly, this sweet little face is no longer with us... my cousin lost her best friend this week and we're all so so sad.

 RIP Puffy Boy - the rainbow bridge welcomes you.

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind. They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

Fall is around the corner...

and that means BOOT season is coming!

Seriously peeps! I am excited.
I haven't done much online shopping lately, as i've been trying to pinch pennies and kill off some bills. But when i got this email from Urbanog.com today, i broke down.

These can be yours for just $35.20

I've been wanting these beauties since last year, when the awesome Katie from KC&CO blogged about them, but sadly they were sold out. But they're back! And soooo reasonably priced! And with an extra 20% off? This purchase was a no brainer.

I also spent much of last year looking for a pair of black flat boots and when i stumbled upon these, i knew they'd be going in my shopping cart as well.

They're screaming, Put me in your cart dammit!

So go run and  "Like" Urbanog.com on FB so you can save 20% like i did! Whoo hoo!

Happy Shopping Bargainistas!

Friday Confessions! Vol 2

Here we go girls! Friday is here already and bless me father for i have sinned...

I confess...

• I took about a 3 hour lunch today. Had to go to a client lunch presentation, and after that lunch decided I needed a break, so grabbed C and L and took ANOTHER lunch break and a half!
• While on said lunch, returning a shirt at Kohl's, turned around and bought these babies...

• I've been sort of cranky and "mean" to the BF all week (or so he says) and we're supposed to go watch the big fight at his buddies house tomorrow night and i really don't want to go. I'm just feeling somewhat anti-social and unfriendly...
• I'm feeling really lazy lately and even though the dog stinks to high hell really don't feel like giving him a bath tonight.
• I'm having one of those weeks where I'm straight up ready to throw the scale out the window. I've been busting my ass with cardio kickboxing and for the most part watching what I eat, and the numbers are not budging. Its just getting really frustrating.
• I'm stressing about turning 33 in a month. 3-3. OLD. nuff said. Bleh.
• The former bestie's birthday is in a few weeks and I'm not sure how much of a "friend" i should try to be. Do i just Facebook wish her a happy bday? Do i send her flowers to work? Or just a card? Do i attempt to make dinner plans? How much or how little do i care when i know she has written me off her friends list?

Well there you have them. My confessions for the week... What are some of yours? Link up with the Glamazon Mom and share!
