Yes it's a Monday and yes it is raining...but it is the perfect time for me to blog, blog and more blog this morning. It's not a problem that I have so much to say and brag about and all the time this morning to do it. Sorry Karen Carpenter but this rainy day and Monday will definitely not get me down!!!
First and foremost for the best, exciting, and over the top news...my daughter is getting married a week from today in Israel...how cool is that!!! The aura around me is only happiness, fulfillment and love and I'm not gonna lose it!!! It's gonna be emotional, it's gonna be beautiful and it's gonna be one heck of a party with 230 Israeli's that I don't even know, on a lush and tropical kibbutz with an array of Israeli food and music going till the wee hours of the morning. I will be boarding that grand 747, soaring through the blue sky, over land and water to be greeted with arms open wide by my daughter, future son-in-law and the magical city of Tel Aviv. It's all good!!!
In preparation for this wedding trip, I have managed to do some shopping and of course I have stumbled across some really nice bargains...so here we go!!! I love to shop at Kohl's and here is why...browsing through the 80% off rack I spot a pair of Vera Wang capri's. I'm not a Vera fan but the color caught my eye, a real nice summer melon color and as luck would have it, they were my size and just the way I like the fit with a little bit of Lycra...and they were marked $5. Really??? These are $50 pants(one of the high end lines at Kohl's) marked down to $5, ok I'll take them and save $45. Even the cashier commented "Boy did you get a good bargain!!!" Yeah I would say so...thanks Kohl's!!!
Onto another really good bargain(but just a little background info first)...this mother of the bride found a fantastic dress for the wedding in Israel, I felt like it was just waiting in the store on the rack for me shouting out my name, or maybe the Israeli karma was pointing in my direction, anyways it was just what I had in mind. Long, black and flowing, perfect and my daughter gave me her stamp of approval. But shoes we just could not score. So I thought I would roll the dice and try to find a pair of shoes at home. Off I go to Dillard's and again as luck would have it I found a beautiful pair of pewter open toe sandals that went perfectly with my dress, they had a little bit of glitz, a little bit of sexy and a little bit of "show stoppin" style. It all fit together so nicely!!!
The next day I am off to Shoe Carnival to purchase my summer "Bob" shoes, it's the "buy one get one free" deal there that I just can't resist. And there is also my addiction to "Bobs", I have 5 pairs of "Bobs" and I just bought my first pair of "Toms"(on sale) and I love them also...so comfy, it's gonna be a throw down now between "Bobs" and "Tom's" (I never thought it could come to this...I always felt so loyal to Bobs)...anyway back to Shoe Carnival, I'm walking down the rows and there in front of my own two eyes across the back wall I see the same shoes I just bought at Dillard's!!! Are you kidding me? Seriously? I'm shocked!!! But here comes the tail spin...they are $30 cheaper at Shoe Carnival!!! OMG!!! Yes of course you guessed right...I buy them and return the other ones to Dillard's and yes, another great bargain under my belt!!! Dillard's, maybe you should be checking out what is going on over at Shoe Carnival!!!
I love finding a bargain when I least expect it and I love finding a bargain where I least expect it. I live by the hunt, the chase and the find. Whether it be a rainy day Monday or Sunday, a cloudy Thursday or a shiny Saturday, my aura, antenna and angle will always take me down that bargain huntin' highway!!!
