Alllllllmost done with this...

And then I'm not even going to worry about weight for 17 days.

Today we tried to wrap up as many loose ends as possible for vacation. The boys went and got haircuts, (buddy looks incredibly cute w/ his flat top) and we went down the hill to shop for some clothing. We got new socks, I got a skirt and camis, Courtney and Tim got shorts. We walked past the Coach store. Of course I had to go in and dream....
Well, when we walked in the lady at the front handed me a coupon for 30% off everything in the store. Hmmm... Yeah right....like that would make a difference. It was a mad house in there. People were grabbing stuff off the shelves like crazy. I saw a cute bag and when Tim did the calculations, it was going to be under $100. nice! But it wasnt perfect. I saw a lady walk by with a similar, more perfect bag on her arm. That one is better. So I went in search for one similar. Found it, Tim figured it would be just over 100$. But my iPad would still stick out. But it was cute and a good price.
We went round one more time and found aNOTHER bag, same pockets and everything, but twice as big. I was sad. No way would I be paying for that. The tag was for almost $400. Tim got in line and I found someone to check the price for me. When he figured it out, he had a big grin on his face. Under $200 with tax included. I almost cried.
I got in the long line with Tim and waited patiently. When the lady handed me the shopping bag, Tim had a smile on his face. I told him thank you sooooo much!
So I was done buying stuff for myself. Once we got in the car, I took everything out and put it in my new bag.... Everything fits with room to spare! Guess what is going on vacation with me????
It's beautiful... By far THE nicest purse I have ever owned. I've wanted a nice bag for so long and now I finally have it.

For dinner we went to El Torito. I had chicken and beef fajitas. Yes, I allowed myself to eat my sweet corn cake (my fave!)
I came home and slept. Now we are sitting in the loft together watching spongebob squarepants.

More good news, Courtney got into the geography class. So now I need to order her book. Plus the math teacher emailed her a temporary access code to his class so if she can get a spot in there she won't be behind in class work. Ahhhh things are definitely working out for us. I'm so happy.

More tomorrow.....
