Weekend Shopping Mini-Spree

My boss gave me some gift checks last week to our local mall and I used them this weekend on products to pamper myself with. The whole time I was buying stuff I was thinking, "What am I doing? I shouldn't be spending this money this weekend--this weekend is not an extra money weekend. I should just wait until next weekend." And then I'd remind myself that I was not spending a penny of my own money (except $3 of cash in my wallet) and I'd stop scolding myself. My haul? Here it is:

Nike Yoga Block. I'm can't quite reach the floor.


Aveda Pure Abundance hair potion. Love this stuff. When I sprinkle in onto my hair I feel a cold, trickling sensation. I imagine that's what it feels like for Harry Potter to be Disillusioned in The Order of the Pheonix.


Rosemary Mint body bar. I'm constantly looking for something to soothe my skin and keep it from itching. I have very sensitive skin. So far, this is working and it's a great, relaxing smell that helps get me in the mood for sleeping


Aveda Calming Body Wash. Another attempt on top of the Rosemary Mint body bar to curb my itching and soothe my skin. So far, also working. Also, great nighttime smell.


I also bought a new shirt from Express and it's HUGE. I hate dressing rooms so I always just guess. I guessed wrong this time. I look like a circus tent in it--must trade it in tomorrow for a smaller size.

Other than that I spent my weekend painting my new paintings seen two posts below and for sale in my shop. And I played a lot of Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise on the Xbox 360. All in all, a great weekend.

Hi Jeremy and Sara.... this is Sara, and Jeremy :) We randomly happened across your blog while perusing the internet and after looking around for a few minutes became a little disturbed. Because you seem to be our clones, or we are yours... something like that. Jeremy, my boyfriend, thinks that its hilarious how similar we are to you guys. He's really into science and I'm really into art/ art history and we BOTH love video games. The more of your blog we read the more we were amazed by how similar we are, from the fact that your name is spelled without an 'H' down to the entry about the all you can eat sushi bar. We just thought we would shoot you a quick comment telling you how amused we were by all this, and to tell you that you two are a very cute couple!

♥,
j & s

Whether we are YOUR clones or you are OUR clones depends solely on our ages and since I don't know yours I can't give a definitive answer on this. We're 26 (Jeremy) and 24 (me).

Also--way to go with the not spelling your name with an H thing. I always tell people that the H is superfluous and it's Sara, not Sara-huh. Plus, it takes longer to write so why do people always assume the longer spelling?

Also, I'm glad I'm not alone with the whole sushi thing. :)

Also also, way to sneak a compliment in to yourselves as well as us! "We're like clones--and you two are a very cute couple!" Genius. :)
