Yeah school stuff!

Got my bonus check today. So I promptly spent it. On school expenses haha. Paid my tuition, ordered books and ordered and installed Microsoft office. Plus saved the rest of it just in case the professors of my last two classes decide to add books last minute. Now all I need is a printer and I'm all set. Can hardly believe I start school in 18 days.

And I bought myself a early birthday present. = ) I worked hard for that bonus dang it!

How's everyone else doing today?

Re: Yeah school stuff!

  • Ooo what did you buy!? And school books are so exciting!!! I haven't bought mine yet. Last year a teacher changed her mind about a $200 book so some classmates were stuck with it. I like waiting until the first day. But hate waiting at the same time haha.

    Today I plan on trying to finish putting the apartment together. Than my old roommate is coming over for beers and to see the cat tonight. Pretty lazy day :)

  • I bought myself a new pair of TOMS. I got my first pair from my dad and step mom and wore them as my something blue to our wedding. Then last year I bought a blue and yellow pair. This time I just got plain black. I LOVE TOMS.

    Normally, I would wait until the first day. But, since I am taking online classes and I don't live close to the bookstore....that wasn't an option for me this time around. I spent less than 100 bucks on them so far though. There's only one actual text book so even if I get stuck with the others, I wouldn't mind.

  • That is awesome! Only $100? Yes definitely online classes will use their books haha

    And new toms? Yay! Solid black will go with everything! You're making me want to go shopping :p

  • Aaaaand I just bought a kitchenaid stand mixer >.< I've been eyeing one for about 2 years now. I had a 20% coupon for Bed, Bath, and Beyond, then BB&B had a $30 mail in rebate, AND I still had a coffee maker that was a gift that I was planning on returning (we have a keurig so no need for a $90 coffee maker). Long story short, I was weak. So my mixer should be here within 2 weeks! :D

  • I have already had my shopping confession!  PS. I pinned a site that sells TOMS that are cheaper.  I should send to you guys.  I was thinking of getting black ones that sparkle for everyday shoes at work.

    So how much was the mixer at the end?  Did you get a fun color?  I have a white one.  Honestly, I had a regular mixer and didn't think I would like it.  Now that I started baking with it...LOVE IT!

    Have you seen the beadazzled one on pinterest? LOVE LOVE LOVE

    Yes! I've seen the beadazzled one! That's intense!!! I really really wanted the Green Apple one! But according to Jared it's "cheesy looking" and he'd "much rather see silver in our kitchen" haha. I let him win this one haha. I'm just happy I'm getting one! I got the 5 qt Artisan one in Contour Silver. I'd love to have a 6 qt professional one but I really don't like how the bowl attaches to the machine etc. I just really like the swivel top of the Artisan :) I've been baking for years with a $20 hand mixer. Used someone's stand mixer once... so hard to go back to a hand mixer! So the mixer that was supposed to be $376.25 ended up being $225 :)

  • YAY!  Silver is a nice color. 
  • Well it looks like you all had a much more exciting day than me. I just had a few crazys in my chair and another rough appointment with the therapist. Ugh.
  • :( It was a rough day today at work too  Tell me about this crazy lady...
  • Thanks guys = ) I'm sorry I'm such a bad influence haha.

    First one was contradicting herself and would commit to a cut so I gave her a happy medium and she started being stupid. Saying things like well I have never had my hair cut like this. Idk if its the right cut for me. Blah blah blah. She doesn't know what she wants and no matter what cut I gave her she would have been unhappy.

    The next one had a braid past her butt and wanted an up style. I have never seen or worked on hair that long and she is my bride Saturday.
  • That's gotta be frustrating! I get customers like that sometimes in my store...no matter how nice you are or how hard you try to fix something for them....they find something else to complain about.

    I am sure you can figure out something for your long haired bride! Ouch though...wouldn't that hurt your head having that much hair up all day? I get awful headaches and mine is two inches below my shoulders. Could just be I have super thick hair.

  • oh my. Did you come up with a style for your bride?
  • Yes I figured something out but it was not my best work. I mean what the heck why would anyone want that much hair? I think my jaw dropped to the floor when I met her.
  • That much hair would drive me insane.

    too bad i don't live closer to you Aleigha. I wanna chop mine off and don't like the hair places around here. Thinking about coloring it too.

  • ooooooooooooooo post inspiration pictures.  I wonder if I dyed my if I wouldn't look so tired.
  • I agree lets see some pictures! Jen you do not look tired!
  • HAHA you don't see me everyday.  I actually do.  My circles around my eyes are bad.  Then my hair pulls down my face.  I just hate to hear how bad I look to I protest that I don't, but in reality I do.

  • The lame part is....I have no idea. I just want something different lol. I used to have almost blonde hair when I was young and it got darker and darker.

  • Here is what I look like right now...

  • You look fine and I like your hair down its pretty.
  • that's not nearly as bad as I look most days. I get the "why are you so mad all the time?" cause apparently I look ticked off half the time.

  • I don't understand why its ok to comment on people's looks like that!  IDK I wouldn't say such a thing b/c I would worried about offending someone.

    Aleigha- we should plan a spa day.  And then you girls could plan to come on then.  I have extra rooms but Aleigha's house probably is better as she isn't 2 hrs away from Denver.

    I would like nails, hair, facial, and a massage.
  • I am always up for a spa day, but I still think Vegas would be a perfect spot to meet.
  • hm I agree. Spa in Vegas.
  • Yes spa in Vegas!
  • So hoping it works out for me to come if we plan a Vegas get together!
