Eating my words

Remember my post about Black Friday where I advocated for a non-crazy shopping strategy? Well, I didn’t follow my own advice. V and I ended up at the outlet mall in Gilroy. Then we went to a regular mall after that. Then we went to a couple more stores after that.

Here’s what our crazy day of shopping looked like:

Thursday

• 8:30 pm Head to bed to get some sleep. I couldn’t sleep a wink, V slept but not well.
• 11 pm Head to my sister’s place. She and her boyfriend had planned to go to Gilroy all along and we invited ourselves to the shopping trip.

Friday

• 12:30 am Arrive at Gilroy, use the bathroom at Tapioca Express. First stop, Reebok. We weren’t planning to go there but it was the first store in our path and the BOGO signs lured us. I end up with some workout clothes that were ultra discounted.

A new toy and a grand plan

I bought a new laptop! I haven’t bought a totally new computer in nearly 10 years (I just upgraded various parts over the years). It should arrive this week, I can’t wait!
