Jessi's College/Apartment Living Blog: Ran Late! Oops....(03-19-10)

Today was an extremely long, but amazing day.

I woke up and got ready to leave for Tallahassee so that me and my mom could go shopping for bathroom redecor stuffs.

Kitty was being tweet, as usual.

After we went to Bed Bath and Beyond to get my amazing shower curtain only to discover that they don't carry it in stores.....

We left and went to Lowe's to look at Vanities and Counter tops (and sinks....and faucets...and shower heads....)

My dad told me that they decided to get one of the awesome "Rain" shower heads that sits flat overhead and ....well....rains down. They're so nice!

I found some vanities that I liked that would match the wood in the house and we decided to go with a plain white countertop, and my dad approved of us getting a bowl-sink!

Much like this, but clear without the green tint, and definitely not that faucet....

When we were in Lowe's my mom went to the restroom before we left and I waited outside in the windows isle, nearby a group of employees. From the other end of the isle I noticed that there was an older employee (around 70) that was short, and had a huge beard walking toward me. He got close enough that I paid him attention and he asked if he could help me with anything.

I kindly thanked him, saying "No sir, I'm doing good, thank you!"

To which he hesitated walking away, inched back closer and said,

"Well, ma'am, if you feel half as good as you look, you must be doin' good!"

I thanked him, (probably with a very unsure look on my face) and he walked away.

......I wan't sure if he was going for the "Creepy Old Man" stereotype or the more accepted and less frightening "Sweet Old Man" stereotype. I just chose to think he was trying to be sweet since he left it at that and walked off.....

I can't wait to get my bathroom done! It's going to be so beautiful!

So after the unproductive BB&B and the slightly productive Lowe's trips, my mom and I made a B-line to the Steak and Shake when we passed Ted's and couldn't figure out where to eat.

We decided on cheap, greasy deliciousness before we start dieting and exercising on Monday.

Not looking forward to that.

My mom is cute. She was hiding from my camera.

We both got Spicy Chipotle Steakburgers.....

Oh....My....Gosh.

They had:

1. Steakburgery goodness

2. Chipotle Sauce

3. Pepper-jack cheese

4. JALAPENOS.

That burger...was so good.

Not as good as Ted's Spikebox Bison Burger, but definitely the cheaper equivalent.

After lunch, we went to Wal-Mart on the way out of town to get the towels that I had found online.

There were adorable cupcakes on the way inside. <3

I also found an amazing sequin-bow-tank-top for $3!

And this ADORABLE BAG.

I was so happy with this bag....

Then my mom showed me that it was a Christmas bag, plastered with candy canes and "Merry Christmas"'s that I hadn't noticed earlier.

I was crushed, but took a picture so that I could make my own, minus the seasonal touches.

One other thing that I picked up from Wal-Mart wassss

MY VERY FIRST PERFUME!

I had been to Dillard's before looking for one that I liked and ran across Gwen Stefani's Harajuku Lovers line. The "Lil Angel" one was my favorite! It was just sweet enough, without being overpowering!

This little .33 oz bottle was $27 @____@

NUTS.

I will have to use it sparingly....

But it smells soooo good.

I love it....and the packaging is so cute!

Thank you mommy!

When we got home, we watched some recorded shows from last night and then decided that a nap was much needed. We were both exhausted.

My dad called later and we went into Cairo around 8:00/8:30 to get some dinner at Cedarriver.

Those people give you so much food it's insane.

I ordered a "you pick two" type entree,

Codtail fish and Clam Strips with fries and cheese grits

(can you tell I'm taking advantage of delicious food before Monday?)

AND THIS MOUNTAIN OF FOOD IS WHAT I GOT.

I didn't even make a dent in the plate...it took two to-go boxes to take just my plate home.

Something else that I picked up from Wal-Mart is a new skin-treatment to try and not only get rid of some unwanted and rather obnoxious acne, but to help my dry skin.

(not pictured is an Aveeno moisturizer with SPF 15 yo!)
