Who loves Monday? I love Monday!

At least this Monday. Not all Mondays in general, just for the record.

This morning, I woke up and got ready for a trip to Saskatoon with my mom and Deks. Dekker woke up just as I was finished getting ready so he had a quick breakfast and we left from there. It was a little snowy and I was significantly scared of the highway, but it was way clearer than I expected, which was nice. We picked up my mom around 11:30am and were off!

Sometimes shopping for clothes sucks. However, my mom found pants and a top at our first stop! I was wearing a chunky (fake) real necklace and found a fun chunky chain necklace that would look nice with it at the same store, so she bought me that too! Which was convenient, as my original necklace broke partway through the day…

From there we hit a couple malls, but didn’t accomplish a whole lot more than eating lunch and almost falling down as escalator. For the record, I am not coordinated. We hit Michael’s next, where I had great success. Today was the only day that there was a valid 40% off coupon, as well as a 50% off coupon! So while Dekker slept in the car, I ran in and bought two things, using a coupon for each, and then mom ran in next with two more print outs of the coupons to buy two more things I had set out for her. All in all, I’m stocked up for assorted buttons to adorn my hats and slippers with!

Lastly, I got my nails done at one of those weird sweatshop-looking places in the mall. $28 later, I have a beautiful Shellac french manicure. I don’t know how it works for fills, or if they’re just redone eventually, but I LOVE them! My hands look so much prettier.

We spent the evening catching up with good friends over food. We were part of a care group last year at our church and we’re starting things back up this year with a few new couples added to the mix. I love our group, and am really looking forward to doing another study or two this year.

This week is one of those that I’m looking at with a little bit of nervousness. I have to come across about ten dozen baked goods by Friday and since I didn’t really get on recruiting people, my mom and I are going to bake everything. So there’s that. Plus a few plans on Wednesday pertaining to Halloween and Deks. Then the weekend is the whole hair show thing I talked about a while ago. I’m getting kind of uncomfortably nervous about that actually. It was explained to me originally that all models would be assigned to certain stylists and we would meet them the night before, or something along those lines. Turns out that we all have to show up on Saturday and get picked over! Like gym class, all over again. I’m really not looking forward to that. I was NOT picked first in gym class, for the record. So I’m not loving that, even though deep down, I am relatively certain that my hair will be chosen by someone. We’ll see.

It is late. After 11pm. Got home too late for a bubble bath 🙁 I guess I’ll just sulk a little, watch Degrassi, and fall asleep next to my curly man. Good night!
