Is it sad that I can't even remember back to last Friday night? Couldn't tell you what I did.
Saturday we got up and went shopping. Since my mom bought me some new clothes last weekend, I decided that it was time for Jacob to get some new clothes! He's been wearing the same shirts for his entire teaching career, so it was time to spruce up the wardrobe! I had a 15% off coupon for an entire purchase including sale and clearance items to use at Kohls, plus a couple of rebate Visa cards with money on them still.
We headed to Springfield and planned to eat lunch while we were there. I bet you could guess where we ate! We can't pass up Olive Garden when the Never Ending Pasta Bowl special is going on! Of course what else comes back at the same time? PUMPKIN CHEESECAKE (my mouth is totally watering). I am proud to say that I only ate 1.5 bread sticks, a bowl of soup and half a plate of my pasta. My stomach has shrunk! I also passed up the cheesecake...this time. We do have plans to go back again before it's gone because I must have some.
Next we went to Kohls. I think Jacob would agree, this was probably one of our most productive shopping trips. He got several nice new polo shirts and 2 new pairs of khakis plus I got an Illinois shirt all for $44 after rebate cards and the discount. I am ALL about finding new ways to save lately! I'm becoming a coupon queen!
We stopped in at Best Buy to look around and also at Wal-Mart because they have an awesome Wal-Mart there...it makes me happy!
Saturday evening we went to Seth and Sandy's for Jack's 3rd birthday party. Hard to believe that he had just turned 1 the first time that I met him! Where did that time go!? Enjoy a few of my pictures of the birthday boy!
And of course a couple of Liam as well!
See...I knew I'd be having "bad" (aka DELICIOUS JUNK FOOD) at the party, which is why I refrained from the Pumpkin Cheesecake. Also, as a side note, I remember what I did Friday night. I made the homemade ice cream for the party! The cake and ice cream were both very tasty. Although I cheated. I said no ice cream until I lost 10 lbs. I have lost 8 though, and now I'm back on track. I left the ice cream at their house so it wouldn't tempt me!
There's nothing exciting to write about from yesterday. I was feeling down and in a slump. Apparently it was in the air because several people I know said they felt the same way. I was actually glad that today was Monday even though it meant going back to work. I even broke out my camera and took a few pictures at work today.
