OK, yesterday’s to do list had me hopping all day! I didn’t make it home until midnight!! Whew! And I really was exhausted!
I made it to Verizon. Turns out my headset is warrantied! Great! They gave me an all new one free. So I am once more safe and legal in case of mobile calls while driving!! I went ahead and asked there about what I wanted from radio shack. The cord thingy to plug into my compuer. The guy said that they are a waste of money, the ones they have. 40 bucks and apparently all you can do with it is download your phone book. Hmmm. Considering I don’t know where Radio Shack is, I think I will shelf that till I can take hubby with me so we can discuss if we think we can make a cord work and if the one in radio shack (should they have it) be able to do more than said cord from Verizon.
Radio Shack.. read above.
Walmart… ended up not going! YAY! Got shirts at Micheal’s instead.
Target… I hit this right after Verizon and things worked out well. They didn’t have any under the bed boxes taller than what mum had. I wanted something about two inches taller. That’s OK, I’ll try elsewhere maybe. Watch the sales and all that. However I did get some drawers that I think might actually fit under the bed amazingly enough. These hold my stamps standing up so this is GREAT. I bought three and had just enough room for all my stamp sets I own! ROFL. Guess at some point I’ll get a fourth. But boy do they hold a lot!! I also picked up a larger drawer for the boys to put their shirts in in their room. Good move.
Storage Unit… I did this later in the day. I have 3 boxes. One though just has extra supplies of tape and pages and the like. It also had my current scrapbook and my next scrapbook. I left that box in the storage unit. I grabbed out of it my current scrapbook and my picture purse. Now I can figure out where I am, what I need, and what pictures to take and print off. I’m actually at the end of my film pictures. So it will be developing digital pictures now. That’s fine, I have a ritz card.. haha discount if I do a bunch. Never fear, a bunch I can do! ROFL. I did grab the other two boxes. One is papers and cutting supplies and the sort. The other was all my stamping stuff. And I did get a receipt which I gave to Sir Megabyte and I set it up to autopay. Woohoo!
Victoria’s… made it. Tried on way too many bras. First off the woman says I measure 36C. I think not. Considering I barely need a bra… I don’t think so. She got me b’s and they were roomy. Not real roomy but definate roominess. I ended up buying one. It has slight padding. All she brought me were kinda bulky bras. I have no clue why. Don’t they just have something that’s plain fabric that just kinda.. holds the suckers in place? I don’t really care but this has huge amounts of lace and jazz. And was 34 bucks. I don’t know that I’ve ever spent 34 bucks on a bra before. Of course I thought I was picky. Only thing I really request is no bloody underwire because that stuff is painful. My mum was like ‘That bra is ugly, that bra is ugly, that bra is ugly.” First off we were in Vickie’s. I didn’t think they had ugly bras. Second of all, it’s a bra. Why does it have to be pretty? No one sees it! But my mum is like “Well I was a 40 MM and had to special order my bras and I vowed after my reduction to never buy an ugly bra again.” Um, sure.. whatever. She got three. All kinds of funky colours. I bought white. I like simple white cotton. My mum found this fruity turquoise thingy on the sale bin that supposedly was my size. Um, yeah right. Try 32 for as tight as the band was. I don’t care if it DID say 36. 36 it was NOT! But it looked like something Alyssa Milano would wear on Charmed as regular clothes. Perhaps when she was turned into a mermaid. There was a lace ruffle that stuck almost strait out. OK, I don’t want lace ruffles that stick out further than my breasts. My boobs are small enough, I don’t want them upstaged by farking lace! ROFL.
Synopsis of Vickie’s? Bra’s SUCK. (Sorry to the men who read my journal and have now had to read this long rant about ladies undergarments. And sorry if I totally blasted your very sexy impression of me by saying I like plain white cotton. Give it up men… plain white cotton is what women would wear if there were no men in the world.)
We never did do any cleaning. Mum wasted a lot of time in the morning and then I was too busy so of course she didn’t do anything.
I managed to swing into the Scrapbook store and then mum and I went to Micheal’s. Big mistake. I hit the sale aisles in both places. OK, Micheal’s had 50 sheets of full sized white cardstock for 2 bucks! As well as mixed packs. I’m kinda thinking about going and getting the mixed packs. I mean 2 bucks? WHy not! I got Amy some white cardstock as well as some for me. They also had 12×12 packs of coloured card stock (not printed) for 20 bucks! 200 sheets!! I snagged me one of those as well. And I bought another of those photostorage boxes. Here they were 2 bucks. And prettier than the JoAnne’s one I got for four the day before. Figures. I got one with a pretty flower and gave it to Amy because she had liked the idea about having a box to hold cards. She was so happy. I also picked up some weird things from the scrapbook store that were on sale that just looked neat and how could I pass up a neat tool for only a buck! It’s a stencil thingy that you use and it makes like foldy down thingyes with paper. OK, best way I know to describe it. Sorry. And yes, we got the tshirts too. Plus I picked up a pack of cards with envelopes to use at the stamping group because I knew I wasn’t going to have time to cut cardstock down into card size plus I still can’t find envelopes the right size.
Of course… I got home and tried to sort all this stuff with all my stuff already at home and yadda yadda. Got all the stamps put in the drawers. OK. so on and so forth. Guess what I found? A plastic shoebox that isn’t quite the right size to hold cards (I knew i had this floating around which is why I knew i wanted to get the photo box instead of a plastic shoebox) and it had some cards/envelopes in there that someone had given me to make cards with. Figures. HAHA Oh well… the more the merrier!

What do you mean by safe and legal? Are you required to have a headset there instead of using your phone normally?
Blegh. I enjoyed your bra rant. It’s good to know that I’m not alone in… well, in what you just ranted about!

A lot of places are requiring
that if you are in a car with a mobile phone you go handsfree. It’s just a safety thing that I’ve done for ages. But I know in the District and Maryland it is law now. In parts of Ohio it is law as well. I’m actually not sure what the law is in VA. Since I have a headset I use it and figure I’m good to go. π
And yeah… bra rants are good and purposeful. I’m sorry but I know for a fact that the person who owns Vickie’s is a MAN. His name is Les Wexner. He lives in New Albany, Ohio. He also owns The Limited and Structure and Bath and Body Works and White Barn Candle Company and a slew of other places. So maybe good old Les will stumble upon my blog bra rant and get himself a sensible woman.
Oh and in case you are wondering the Limited HQ has large life sized Angel pictures everywhere… hahaha. Or at least they seem lifesize… ROFL

Re: A lot of places are requiring
how on earth have you missed the angel collection. It’s been around probably longer than you’ve been wearing bras! i can’t even remember when they debuted it. i want to say it was before caramon was born 8 years ago but i could be wrong.
Here’s a link (hope this html works, never done it via the email thingy before)
