Went shopping today...

I needed a trip to the mall with my bestie - we took two buses and talked tons, she bought me my first ever bubble tea, which was delicious but just seemed like a cup of sugar-water, then I turned in some library books and we went to JC Penny. There, I tried on a couple pairs of jeans to discover I fit into size 12s nearly perfectly! The fourteens were too big! Unfortunately, I didn't have the cash to lay out 19.99 on one pair of jeans that might not fit at the end of the summer. But being a size 12 means there are MANY more options for me at discount stores! So we stopped off at Subway to have lunch and then to Ross. I tried on a size 12 pair of cheap jeans but they were way too long so I instead I bought a pair of bright pink cloth capri pants that have a drawstring thinking I'll be able to wear them all summer. They make my butt look really cute and they were only 7 dollars so I consider that purchase to be a success. I also got a new bra, just a basic beige t-shirt style. My bras are starting to wear out... the underwire pokes through, and the elastic is really starting to go slack. I only have two bras plus my sports bra that I can wear and feel comfortable in. Well - now I have one more.

I ate pretty terribly today, and didn't weigh myself, but yesterday when I fired up Wii Fit it said I weigh 168.9! Another pound gone, which I hope I didn't pick back up today but I walked A LOT so I hope that evens some of it out.

All in all, I spent 3.50 for the bus ride, 7 for the pants, 5 for the bra and 2.70 for lunch. Less that twenty bucks for a wonderful day out and about with my favorite girl :)

Tomorrow I'm babysitting for my sister and not going to troupe. (Hey! I would much rather EARN 20 bucks than SPEND 6.50 taking buses from here to downtown portland and back!) I suppose I could make up for the exercise loss by taking my Zumba DVDs and work out with the kids if they want. I'm debating whether or not to take Jamison over with me. Maybe I'll have Matt bring him over later in the day to play.

So all-in-all, today was excellent. I got a bunch of laundry folded and put away...

More later.
