Buy a pair of nice jeans.

          I have been carrying around a $100 bill in my wallet for 10 months. I refused to use it on anything but new jeans. The boy and I went to the mall a few weekends ago looking for stuff for him. I cannot believe I just wrote that sentence. The mall and I are not friends, especially on the weekends. Somehow, being with him made it a bit more bearable and I only shook my fist at one person.

          Anyway we ended up at Nordstrom Rack. The one place I actually don’t despise in the whole Mall of America. I got bored waiting for Evan to try on clothes so I made my way to the Women’s clearance section. Wohoo! Found TWO pairs on nice jeans. Both of them “Skinny” jeans, I am sure that means that “Skinny” will be out of style soon. Due to the good deal I got on the jeans I also scored a new shirt at Old Navy later in the week to round out the $100 spending limit I gave myself.

Here are some internet pics of the jeans. No way will I model my butt for the whole world to see. Plus, mine need to be hemmed at least 3”. 

 

Oh and the point of these jeans are for "date night" and not to be worn at school to be slobbered on.

Send flowers to my mom on my birthday.

          A bit late on posting this (and a few others) but, I promise I am working on the list….Just too busy to write about it.

          If you know my mom you realize she is one of the most selfless people you will ever meet. She always has positive things to say to everyone and is particularly good at being awesome in general. She and I had a horrific beginning together. We were both not expected to make it through my birth. Big surprise, we did. Little did we know this would not be the last hurdle either of us would face in life.

          My mom has been a great female role model for my entire life. She has shown me time and again what it is to be a great mom, wife, and friend. She is the person who taught me at the end of each day to ask, “What was the best part of your day?” She continually is positive and never gives up no matter what life throws her.

          So these flowers I had sent to her are just a small token of my appreciation to whom she is and who I hope to become! Love you, Mom!

P.S. I forgot to get a picture of them. Sorry.

P.S.S. When the florist called to make sure she would be home she was so confused as to why somebody was sending her flowers a month before her birthday. Sound familiar? J
