Sweet Kicks.....

Let me just tell you one thing, I love me a good deal. I come from a long line of coupon hounding, clearance rack browsing, deal bustin line of women so I know a good deal when I see one.

I have been in need of a new pair of running shoes for a couple of weeks now, ever since I regrettably wore mine on a misguided hikin adventure with the munchkins in which we all ended up knee deep in a creek; but that's another story. I had been putting it off because those suckers can be expensive, like upwards of $100 for a good pair(and you should invest in a good pair). Close to the town I live in we have a outlet for NIKE (and just about any other store you can think of) and I had been watchin and waitin for a sale to take advantage of. On Monday a friend and I went for a brisk walk around the "Commons" (as the outlets are referred to by us locals) and decided to stop in to see what they had. If you know anything about outlet shopping you know three things:

1. There are a ton of FOREIGNERS there. Even on an early Monday morning you couldn't spit without hitting one square in the face. 
2. Its always messy. I blame those foreigners, and the fact that these places are almost always staffed by college kids who feel its a better idea to stand around hitting on unsuspecting females than it is to actually work. 
3. And lastly, you have to really search for a good deal. It might be an outlet but the prices aren't actually all that much better than department stores. That is of course unless you find something on sale. 

So after much searching I happened to stumble upon these little cuties,

Cute right! I always am drawn to things (fashion wise at least) that are a little oddball. So original retail price was $80..... for a pair of runnin sneakers, CRAZY. I would never spend that much normally, on anything. Except maybe a ticket to a baseball game(!!). So I was all like "AHHH I gotta have these, their so cute, but oh no their $80 and I don't want to spend that much, boo hoo" and then thankfully before I embarrassed myself I noticed the sale tag, which said $39, now that's more like it! I seriously did a little jig in the isle (thankfully my friend was on the other side of the store so she didn't witness my moment of insanity). I tried them on and they fit like a glove, so I snatched them up and went in search of my friend, who had also found herself a new pair! I was ridding high from my sale find and then we got to the checkout..... where they rang up for $26! Yes you read that right, another 13 dollar discount, SCORE!!!!! I literally yelled at the checkout lady, "YOU MEAN THEIR ON SALE EVEN MORE!" to which she of course replied (with a startled expression I might add) "yes" Needless to say I was one very satisfied customer. Since I am running Monday/Wednesday/Fridays right now I only just got to try them out today,

They look awesome, and they feel even better but that might just be because I got such a great deal on them!

Moral of the story kids, good deals might be hard to find but they are almost always worth the wait!

The Begginning of the End....

This is it!!! Finally I am in my LAST 8 weeks of College! I am literally exhausted, especially since I spent this last weekend working on two finals and one final project (which I estimate that I spent 18-22 hours working on). With no break between when my last classes ended and my new classes begin I don't feel like I even have a moment to take a quick breather, but its only 8 weeks. I can do anything for 8 weeks. In other news I am meeting my mom next weekend for a little 3 day vacation up in Toronto which I am very excited about.Other News:

• The Yankees are kickin butt and takin names!!! They are first in their division (at the time of writing)
• So are the Tigers.... More or less
• All my favorite (TiVo'd) shows had their finales which means I have to wait a long time for any new episodes :( 
• My new classes are SOOO much fun. and by fun I mean soul sucking and tear inducing. 
• Anybody else tried the new minute maid orange Coolata from DD??? Because it's life changing!! 

Thats all I have for Ya'll right now. I'll keep you updated about next weekend and any of the exciting things we do!!

Laters!!!
