I haven't been updating much since I lost my job. Life has changed somewhat. Can you believe that I actually have been cooking dinner (which is ready when the kids get home from school) and those little brats (DISCLAIMER: I truly love them dearly [smile]) haven't had to do many chores, outside of a weekly request to clean their rooms. This domestic thing is not as bad as I originally thought it would be.
Yesterday I woke up with a renewed energy. It may have had something to do with those two vanilla creme coffee cups loaded with real sugar and 2% milk. And maybe also a little with it being cold and rainy and my decision to add little boost of Bailey's in the last cup.
-Don't judge me, it was calling MY name-
With that renewed energy, I decided I would work out. Then, in what I like to call my Anita Logic, I decided that I needed to purchase me some new workout clothes. IDK, but it's something about shopping that makes me feel so good. I went to my favorite mall in Dallas, Northpark Center. For one, I can always find a good parking spot either by Dillards underground or by Neiman Marcus on the NW HWY side. They also have the best boutiques around raging from the high end like Stuart Weisman to the more affordable spots like Forever 21; all centrally located in one place right off 75 Expresway.
I'm somewhere in the middle of the spectrum with my shopping preference and my favorite hautes are BeBe - trendy tailored to the up and coming movers and shakers; ALDO - the ultimate spot for hot shoes from 3-6 inches. :-). Now there are several more stores that I love like the Apple Store and Steve Madden but yesterday I only hit up Bebe and Victoria's Secret, looking for the active wear.
I was a little disappointed with BeBe, the jeans were mediocre. The had a pair of black metallic skinny jeans that I might pick up for the holiday season but nothing really caught my eye this trip. Nothing really stood out. I think I might have to change up a little and see what Neiman Marcus Last Call's @ the Allen Outlet has in the jeans department. After leaving BeBe's, I did a drive by through Express, they have some cute tanks but nothing I can't pick up at Sam Moon's. So my next stop was Victoria's Secret where I was pleasantly surprised. I got some cute yoga pants with PINK bedazzled across the butt (did I ever tell you that I LOVE THE BLING?!); a couple of V-neck t-shirts - 2 for $22; and a cute Dallas Cowboys t-shirt. Ever since they won in an impressive win this past Sunday, I'm back on the band wagon!
All in all, the trip was a success, my powershopping trip only lasted about 2 hours - minus 55 minutes of traffic due to the weather and was back in time to have the salmon in the oven before Larry's bus pulled up to the house.
Unfortunately it was raining and I didn't get to run at the kids practice. I didn't get any running in, but I did clean my bathroom and polish all the furniture in my office and the table in the breakfast nook and also did a couple of stretches..... well okay maybe only about 7 stretches... but still something is better than nothing. today the sun is shining so I get to reset the timer today. Hopefully I will get in an hour before my guests arrive tonight. (just a couple of girlfriends stopping by to watch the BET Awards and see what hilarity will ensue. Comedian Mike Epps is hosting and they are honoring Ice Cube so for that.. I am excited.
