I found a cute pair of boots in the Victoria Secrets clearance catalogue and to make the situation more appealing...I had a $30.00 gift card to use! Wahoo! After the coupon and shipping, the boots were $14.99. I couldn't make the purchase on-line, however, so I called the VS ordering center. After placing my order, the woman excitedly informs me that for every sweater purchase made today, I get a free Victoria Secrets lip gloss kit that has all of their fabulous shimmering lip gloss. I wasn't in the market for a new sweater, but come on...free lip gloss??? I search the catalogue for the cheapest sweater and found one for $14.99.
Then the gal tells me that if I just spend $6.00 more, I get free shipping. Well, okay I thought. I love their "Super Model Hair Gel" so I'll order some of those totalling $12.00. So I started off with just boots and now I have ordered a sweater, lip gloss, and hair gel that I really didn't need.
The next week I arrive home to find a small package from Victoria Secrets. Too small to fit my boots in I thought but I eagerly ripped the package open anyway. It's my sweater. Cute...but where are my boots?
A few more days pass and another package arrives. It's my lip gloss! Cute...but where are my boots.
An entire week goes by. Every day I'm checking my mail for my boots but am disappointed to find the UPS man drive past my home. I found myself even running home for lunch just to see if Mr. UPS dropped my boots off. I was growing suspicious that he may have seen just how cute they were and snapped them for himself. Finally, a package came!!!! Alex was requesting my help in the other room, but I was too busy ripping open my package to attend to his request. My hair gel arrived. Where are my boots? Wait..there is a small piece of paper on the bottom. What does it say? "Ms. X, we regret to inform you that the boots you ordered are currently out of stock and will no longer be available".
Oh no you did't!!!! I bought a sweater and hair gel on an impulse when all I wanted were my darn boots! Stomping around like a five-year-old, I wanted whoever received MY boots to give them back!
Wait...there is a happy ending. I called VS and explained my displeasement of using my gift card on items that I had no intention on using it for. The very sweet girl on the other end of the phone reissued me another gift card and i found an even cutter pair of Snow Leopard Stiletto Boots which are WAY MORE FUN then the boring old black ones anyway.

You know you're sleep deprived when you had a dream (nightmare) that you were dating Snoop Doggy Dog. Seriously - I woke up after having a dream that Snoop and I were going to Applebees for a date!!! Do you know how often I listen to Snoop? Answer is ZERO. Do you know how many times I think about Snoop? Answer again would be ZERO!! Do you know how many drugs I would seriously have to be on to ever even think about sitting down and having a conversation with Snoop? Answer....there isn't enough illegal substances in the WORLD that I would need to intake to even THINK about going out with that creature. 
I was walking into church yesterday when Alex and Amber's daughters Shayla and Raena were walking out. I stopped and told Shayla how beautiful she looked in her new hair-cut and told Raena she looked like Dora. Alex wrapped his arms around me and I carried him into the church under my arm like a 65lb football. This is when my day went from a 7 to a 10! Amber yelled back at me to tell me what her observant, brilliant beyond her years younger daughter Raena said. "Mom, why is Alex's big sister carrying him into the church?" LOL - Alex's big sister!! 
I hope you all had a great weekend! Alex was with his dad for the holiday weekend so I decided to get myself out of the house as well. I drove to the cities and ran like a maniac all weekend. We were suppose to leave on Friday, but conflicts arose and I wasn't able to leave until Saturday. My friend and I were going to go to the Twin's game but by the time we arrived they were already entering the 4th inning and the stop serving beer by the 7th so we went to Joe Sensor's to watch the rest of the game and grab a bite to eat. Visited family (not at the bar but at their house) and since we didn't go to the Twin's game, my friend thought he could manage to suffer through a few hours at the dome for the Gopher's football game. The Uof M has a new football coach so he was under a lot of pressure to do well....and TOTALLY BLEW IT! We arrived at the game, sat down, took a sip of my beer and what seemed like only a few seconds, the other team had already scored!!!! Yikes. However, Minnesota did rally in the 2nd half to make the game interesting, but Bowling Green scored on a 2-pt conversion in overtime. 
The Twin's game on Sunday stunk ever worse!!! But - we did have AWESOME seats so it's always a fun-filled day if I can sit up close and personal next to cute baseball players ;) Come on ladies....you know what I'm talking about here! Before we left, we went to the Renaissance Festival and had supper at the Wildfire before heading home.
