Well rested

Last night I caught up on a lot of sleep. My co–worker said he would drop my suitcase off at my house so I wouldn’t have to bring it to the Dentist’s office — which was so fantastic of him, especially since he’s on crutches! I ended up not having any supper last night as the anesthetic from my gums were wearing off around that time and it felt like I had my braces tightened or like a tooth ache. I’m always weary about eating/drinking anything after a filling so I never do.

After being awake for so long the night before, I thought my best bet was head straight to bed while it was still light out.  I had nearly 12 hours sleep and I’ve gotta say I’m quite well rested right now! Before I headed to bed though I caught up on a lot of blog–reads and took some photos of what I bought while I was in Newfoundland. I didn’t have any time at all, while I was home.  But my Mom made time for me on my last day there, so we headed out to BOTH locations of Winners (my favorite store) to see if I could find any deals on purses, ’cause that’s what I’m all about.

No purses were to my liking but I ended up buying a work out top and 2 towels from there. We then headed to a cheapy Clarie’s Accessories type of store, I don’t remember the name — but I picked up 3 pairs of sunglasses for $15!!! Initially two years ago I found a pair of sunglasses (exactly like the one’s pictured) at Winners for $15 and I’ve completely worn them out. I’ve even looked for an expensive replica pair but haven’t found any that fit my face or look nice on me. So, of course I bought as many as I saw on the rack that looked exactly like mine! That was only two pairs however, so I had to find another wonky pair that would fit my weird face, so I bought a black pair that looks just okay.

I usually buy all of my work out wear at Winners because they’re nice yet the price is so right. This Adidas sports tank was $16.99.

Above is a shot of my two Nautica beach towels that were purchased for $14.99 each, and boy are they ever huge — 6 feet tall and I’m not quite sure of the width, but you can kind of see for yourself there. Aren’t they just so nice and summery? I love the greens and I usually never go for green because I just don’t like the color, normally. They’re really great quality too, nice and thick. I may not even use these for the beach and just use it for everyday showering. Oohh new towels make me so happy.

As a surprise when we were lining up at the cash register I jokingly asked my Mom if she could pay for one of the three items (1 of 2 towels or sport tank) and she didn’t say anything and then purchased all of them for me. Awesome, thanks Momma. ♥

Below are closeups of my 3 backup pairs of shades — which were again, purchased from a different store that I told you about above.

I can’t wait until lunch time. I bought a ceasar salad at the grocery store this morning and my mouth is totally watering just thinking about it. 1 more hour!!

I’m falling behind!

ootd-1I’m trying to keep my “fashion posts” updated as I now have an excuse to wear a different pair of shoes and get out of my boring clothing rut and dress in something different every single week lol. There ya have it. I chopped my legs off in this one because I was at home and my full length mirror is on top of a plastic drawer thing (need to pick up some cardboard boxes soon, as I’m moving out of this place in 4 weeks!). Plus, ooh la la my purse got in the photo this time. Ow ow sista.

So. Let’s see where all this junk is from, k?

Top: Banana Republic. I love shopping in BR when they have sales because I’m an XS and apparently they always have a TON of leftovers in XS as they apparently never sell out of it, and it goes on sale quickly. As I was told by a saleswoman. It’s super comfortable and hasn’t pilled up and is super quality. I think this was purchased in 2008? I don’t remember. Fail.
Pants: A recent purchase from the GAP at about $29.00 on sale. Score.
Shoes: Nine West from Sherway Garden’s mall in Toronto. They scuffed the first few days, and I tried to bring them back and complain, but they weren’t accepting that and now I’m stuck with them. At least they’re incredibly comfortable.
Purse: Nine West from a discount store and ended up getting this for $34! I bought this while I was home during Christmas 2008/2009(?)

Some close ups of the shoes and pinstriped pants. I should have bought a smaller size in these pants because I always seem to be hiking them up! Too late now! I also hiked up my pants for snapping the photo of my shoes. Trust me, these pants are long enough lol. Isn’t the fabric (pattern?) stripe? lovely? That’s way too many question marks in one blog entry for me. Especially in one paragraph.

I had a chiropractor appointment today and for the last month or two I’ve diagnosed myself with carpal tunnel syndrome and seriously wanted to snap my wrist off from the weird ache. Finally I remembered to mention this to my chiro and he said a bone was out of alignment inside my wrist and all he did was tug on it a bit and voila, immediate relief. Apparently I know nothing about carpal tunnel and it actually starts tingling/numbing your fingers first. Which I had none of — phewf is all I can say to that. I thanked him, and left.

How was your weekend everyone!???
