Happy Tuesday!

Happy Tuesday!

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! I sure did!  Thursday night Matt and I went to go get his trial version of his new contacts and then headed to Borders to check out the deals since the whole chain is closing down.  We got some darn good deals. After we had our adventure, we went to Taco Bell.

I am on some new medication – one of the big side effects is loss of appetite and sick to stomach. I get those both big time. Not a whole lot sounds good these days. I have officially lost about 5-6 lbs. I was able to down two soft tacos. Win!

Friday was nice! My mom and I went out to lunch. My stomach was upset but I needed to eat so we went to La Madeline and I got tomato basil soup (which I had like 4 spoonfuls) and a Caesar salad. We then went to Borders (twice in less than 24 hours) and got MORE deals!

We then headed over to the mall and checked out the new Vera Bradley store! I decided to get a new e-reader cover. My kindle cover was extremely ugly…not anymore!

During the shopping adventure, I ended up getting texts saying that Matt’s family may drop by for the weekend. Spur of the moment! I was ok with it!

Friday night was tame. I had the rest of my tomato basil soup and fell asleep early waiting for them to get here. Matt also fell asleep and luckily, I finally heard knocking and woke up!

Matt’s family went on to Galveston for the weekend while we kept the little sista with us.

Saturday morning was mellow – I went and got Whataburger breakfast and we relaxed and dropped the pug kid off at my mom’s.  We then decided to go couch shopping. We have 15 yr old green furniture. It smells – it is awful – and I would not let any friends come over because of our couch. We went to Rooms to Go, Star Furniture, and Gallery Furniture.

Rooms to Go: we were left alone. They had some nice deals but I could not pin point a favorite. Therefore, we moved on to Star Furniture

Star Furniture: Stress city – no amount of anti anxiety pills could help this situation. We had a woman that cackled like a witch and thought that our 14 year old sister was our child. She would not leave us alone and made us sit on furniture that we said was too big for our living room. I told her we did not want to go to the second floor and she kept on bugging us about it. After we finished she asked us which one we wanted to buy. Um, no.

I left and told Matt that we were never going back.

We then went to Gallery Furniture. The guy that owns this place, Jim McInvale, aka “Mattress Mac” is the biggest Houston celebrity. Anyone and everyone in Houston knows this guy. We went there and were greeted with tropical birds and the staff singing God Bless America. They had cake and ice cream and water for free. We spent about 3 hours in there before decided on a couch.

We got a dream deal that consisted of

2 lamps, two side tables, one large table, couch, love seat, tv console, and a 50 inch LG Plasma TV. I will have pictures for everyone to see on Tuesday! The deal was fantastic! We got the tv and tv console for free! The couch is super comfortable!

If you buy any furniture there, you get your picture with a baby monkey. Matt loves monkeys…so Matt and his sista got a picture with Sasha! I took pictures!

In addition, after buying furniture you are told to go relax and have some free food in the cafeteria! I had a side salad and a piece of pizza and Matt had a burger. . . fo free!

After we left Gallery Furniture we went to Target and got a storage container for all my Yankee Candle products (we were getting rid of our former middle table that had a storage bin) and a new shower curtain and a bathroom mat. I think Saturday was one of the first days where we really felt grown up. We were getting big people stuff, lol!
