Excited...

I am way too excited for this purse. Like, unnaturally excited.

Even though I can't buy new things, I have a really strong urge to clean out my closet and reorganize it. It's a mess right now, and I don't have closet doors. If I had closet doors I probably wouldn't mind so much, but everything is just out in the open, visible to guests, and getting dusty.

It's so hard to part with some clothing, though. There's always one or two reasons why I can't throw certain clothing away, and that's probably why I never have room in my closet. "When I'm chubby I'll need it," or, "It could be useful when I need to layer in the winter." I still haven't used those "useful layers" and I hope that I don't need to resort to my size large shirts in the near future.

What a boring way to spend my Monday night...

New Coat

So, like I said, I am on a shopping ban unless it is for a winter coat. Now I'm completely on a ban because I got really lucky and scored a beautiful royal blue coat at Nordstrom for $44 (orig. $89!) The tag actually said $58.90, which is what it is on their website, so the extra discount only showed when she rang it up on the register.

It's really comfortable, it has pockets (I neeed pockets!), and it's not itchy at all because it has a satiny lining. The only qualm I have with it is that it is hoodless, but I rarely use hoods anyway. Dark purples and blues are the new black for me! :)

Potential V-day plans

1. Downtown Disney
2. Jazz Kitchen @ DD.
3. Watch "He's Just Not That Into You" or "Taken"?

I read that couples shouldn't watch HJNTIY together because it'll cause one or the other to become guilty, paranoid, or overly inquisitive.... but it looks so good! On the other hand, 'Taken' looks like it's pretty badass, which is a plus for both Darryl and me. I'm thinking we may be too food-coma'd for a movie, but we'll see.

Superfeet Dress Fit 3/4 Insoles

Do not, I repeat, DO NOT buy these things! I bought them a few weeks ago because all of my flat shoes have zero arch support. Well, due to the stiff, plastic nature of these insoles, they slide around and do not mold to your feet or give comfortable arch support. Even with the velcro sticky dots, these do not stay in place!

I'm hoping Nordstroms takes them back...

Good weekend.

Houston's cheeseburger, $13 (with a LOT of fries, but it doesn't look like it because the burger is that big.)

Since Darryl and I had been to Houston's before for our two year anniversary, we decided we could just have a casual lunch there for our fourth. Granted it was a $70 casual lunch, but it was sooo worth it! Since Darryl and I have a 'no gifts' agreement, I bought this meal, and he's buying the Valentine's day meal.

The last time we were there I got a filet, but after looking at Yelp for inspiration, I decided to get the cheeseburger. Best decision of my life!!! Not really, but my mouth and stomach sure thought it was. Next time I will get it medium-rare; I was a wimp and got it medium-well, forgetting that they grind their own meat so it's safe.

That was on Friday afternoon. Friday night we decided to go to Koraku in J-Town for some ramen and fried rice. It was Darryl's first time and he loved it! It always makes me happy when I introduce someone to a restaurant I like and they end up loving it too.

Saturday was really good because I got to catch up with friends I haven't seen in like 6 months. Good times.

Not sure what I'm doing the next couple of days, but I'm excited that Thursday is my last day at my stressful job! I know I complain about them a lot on here, but this is my place for venting. My new (and highly unnecessary) purse is coming on Thursday so I'll consider it my reward for sticking with these kids for the past 5 months.
