I ungrounded myself...

Okay, so I ungrounded myself  from my self -imposed kibosh on shopping to buy something yesterday. I bought this wallet!! And I can't freaking wait for it to arrive! Well worth the un-grounding I think! :)

You see, I havent purchased a wallet in um...*furrows brows in thought and tilts head* Yeah, I can't remember when, but I got the one I currently have....maybe while I was in law school...or just after law school...or something. It's been like 4 years. (Whoa. Just realized it's been over 4 years since I was in law school and almost choked. Me=getting old. haha). Anyway, it's a nice wallet, but really, it's seen better days. 

I'm kinda picky about wallets though. I wanted one that has a clear pocket for my id as soon as you flip it open. I dont like having to unzip and dig for my drivers license. That sounds utterly annoying in my mind. (Read: I'm lazy). I have a lot of other criteria, but it doesnt matter. What matters is that after my friend showed me her Hobo International wallet and all the many pockets it has while still looking so slim...and having a clear license holder... I was SOLD.

I shopped online and found this one. I was in love. You know the feeling... The *browsing...browsing...browsing...annoyed...exhasperated...browsing...OHMYGAWD I LOVE THAT ONE* But it was $$. At least more $$ than I wanted to spend post-Christmas during my self imposed grounding.

So, I did what any grounded girl needing a new wallet would do. I stalked it, hoping to find it on some weird totally abnormal 75% off clearance...haha..  And um.. yesterday, I checked...and I got lucky! It was 50% off! And only on the Hobo site directly! Not any dept stores, not amazon...nope. Just Hobo!

So that was a rant, but I was obviously very excited b/c I'm sure I randomly looked it up the same day it went on sale or something. That NEVER happens, right?! Woohoo!

Other things this week:

• Gracie dog got a long overdue haircut! :)

...and it wore her out... :)

...but she sure looks cute, right?! (those bows lasted abooooout 3 minutes b/c I could tell she hated them). 

• It snowed here. And sleeted. And was basically gross, but definitely not as bad as a lot of other areas up north are experiencing. That said, they still closed schools here so my mom was thankful and pretty pumped (she's a teacher). 
• I fixed my roomie up on a date last night. TBD, but I think it went well... Jury's still out on my matchmaking skills... :)
• Made it to bed at TOTALLY reasonable hours this week as a goal. *patting self on back* I miss reading before bed. Any good recs for books, friends? I loved the Twilight series (duh), the Dragon Tat series, etc. Has anyone read any of Ken Follet's books? I think I'd really like them.

Excited for a relaxing weekend to play catch up on the DVR, hang with friends, have a hair appt (woohoo!), run some errands, and stay warm in this weather! Brrrr! Cheers to the weekend, friends!
