Here is the pretty Monopoly themed Moleskine journal. It has Monopoly money stickers, too! Yay! :)
I would have taken more pictures, but the mosquitoes were on attack! ;p This is an A5 size Moleskine and the pages are blank. I'm not sure exactly what I'm going to use it for, but I am going to use it for something. ^_^
It has been a very long day and I'm glad to be able to just sit down and type up this post! I have needed a haircut for a very long time now. I had a coupon last month for Great Clips, but it ran out the day before I decided to use it. D'oh! I did NOT want to go to the beach for a week with my hair the way it was. It was totally out of control. I had so many 'messy hair, don't care' days! I just put it in a scruncie and went with it. It was getting where it wouldn't stay in the scruncie so I got a nice cut today. The process just started my long day!
I decided to go over there this afternoon and get my hair cut. I looked up their hours and got in my car. It was doing that thing where it would NOT go over 25 miles an hour. ~_~; I drove all over trying to get it to start running right . A lot of times it will kick in and go, this time, not so much! So, I drove home and i was so frustrated. I knew it would probably be futile to ask my one friend . She had to get back to me. I finally called HER back and guess what? She would take me! Whee!
So, I walk up to her house ready to go, go, go! She wasn't ready just yet. So, I walk the mini Doxie whom I love to pieces and then we are ready to go. Her mom(she lives next door) asked where we were going and she tells her. She decides that she wants to go too. ^^; So, we have to wait for her to go change and get ready. We finally got there and checked in. I got to go back as soon as they were checked in. They BOTH decided to get hair cuts. ~_~:
I get mine done and it's so cute! She cut about 25 pounds of hair off. It feels and looks SO much better now. We left there and went to Target. I had heard that they had the new Mildliner brush pens on clearance at some Targets. I decided to check just in case. I went to the school clearance section as that is where I heard they would be. I didn't see any, but I got three cute one subject notebooks, two single packs of Post it notes, and some magnetic pencil thingees (for lockers or such) . I went to the regular stationery secton and looked on the pen aisle. They had actual Mildliners which was new. I'd looked several times before. I walked around a bit and then spotted some on the endcap. They had the 10 pack of Mildliner brush pens for $5.96! SCORE!!!!! I grabbed a pack and added them to my stuff. I was so happy to find them!
So, I go and checkout and then I'm looking in the Starbucks at their drinkware. I call my friend and they are at the back of the store looking for something they don't even have in Target. I told her so, but she didn't listen! LOL I decided to sit in the Starbucks and wait for them. I got a frappuccino and drank it and they still hadn't come up front! I called my friend again and she was on the soap aisle. I went to where she was and teased her that she needed soap for her ass. lol . We finally corralled her mom and headed for the checkouts.
By then, it was past my usual lunch time and i was hungry! They were too. They decided to order pizza and pick it up on the way home. This would have caused my lunch to be even later, so I asked them to run me through a drive-thru on the way to pick up the pizza. They did and I ate while we rode. I was done by the time we got back to their house, but I stayed a bit.
I then came home and washed my hair. I put the bed linen in the dryer and started another load of laundry. I washed an enormous amount of dishes and then relaxed a bit. I just put the linens back on the bed and I plan to relax for the rest of the evening. I'll probably put away my other laundry tomorrow.
I want to read a bit. I'm currently reading a really interesting book about The Black Dahlia murder. I had to make myself put it down last night and go to bed as it was after 3am! Oops! By the way, here is the pack of Mildliner brush pens. I love them!
There you go! Now, another installment of How I'm Using Evernote today: My bluetooth on my MBP is wonky. It doesn't always connect and it's so frustrating. After trying it a few times and it still being bitchy, I just save the picture in Evernote on my phone and I retrieve it from Evernote on my laptop!
I forgot to mention that I was able to pick up one of the new Fall Starbucks cards for my collection. Yay!
I'm sitting here sort of glad that the trip was called off early. Why? Because this would be our last full day at the beach. Now, we have a whole week to look forward to. Hopefully with no hurricanes this time! So, if all goes well, two weeks from tomorrow, we will be heading back down. :) . From the webcam views, it was gorgeous down there today.
I got some cleaning done today. My closet has been getting out of hand lately, so I pulled out the majority of the stuff and re-organized everything. I left some stuff out, too. It looks so much better. really need to get some kind of storage system for all my handbags. I have so many of them. ^^; I could display them on the top shelf in my closet, but it still leaks occasionally, so I'm not taking any chances on that! I might buy some totes or some other thing to keep them all together and clean. I'm sure there is probably a organizer made just for that!
I finished my puzzle today. It was pretty fast going until I got to the last little bit, and then I slowed down because it was a bit harder. I got it done and then when I flipped it, part of it fall apart so I had to re-do that part before I could tape it. D'oh!
I just realized that I never mentioned that I found a 'new' Fossil purse at the beach! Well, I found it at the Goodwill in Longs SC on the way down, but close enough! I'll post a picture of it further down in this post.
I also picked up one puzzle while we were there. :p . I will work that one after I finish the one I'm currently doing. I didn't have time to find anything else. I did get a pack of Avery pockets for a mini binder at one Goodwill for $1. They are plastic and various colors. I can use them in my mini binder or my refillable planner that is the same size. I actually did see a few Starbucks tumblers at the Goodwill in Myrtle (the one we got to) but I didn't get it because it was damaged. If it's still there when we go back, I'll buy it!
I rode with my friends to pick up kitty food tonight. They have to get special prescription food for the demon kitty. :P I stayed at there house for a few minutes to see and love on all the dogs and then came home. I went to the grocery store after I got home and picked up a few things I needed. Of course when I went to the store the other day to get my regular groceries, I forgot stuff!
I didn't get a lot more done on the puzzle, but I got some done! I'm trying not to rush too much since I'm low on puzzles!
This is the handbag. Isn't it cute? I was sad it was a summer bag and I found it on labor day! Oh well, I can use it next summer. I love finding Fossil bags. It's funny, I went over to the bags and just glanced at them and saw this. I looked at the little silver studs on them and saw "Fossil" and snatched it right up! :)
Sorry about yesterday. I totally planned to post and then I didn't. I realized it after midnight. Oops! Oh well, I didn't have much to share yesterday anyway! I didn't start a puzzle yesterday, but I did start one today. I didn't get very far because I got hit with a migraine and I've been trying to just relax. Earlier it was so bad I was sitting in very dim light. That is not productive for puzzle working! I did finally get the outline done and a little bit of the inside. Hopefully tomorrow I can get a lot more done.
I found some zink paper on eBay that is another brand. They had 20 sheets for $6. I thought I'd buy some just to see. The price is great. I just hope they work well. My prints aren't getting much better... well.. some pictures look really good and some are just meh. i don't know what to do to improve them. I found a suggestion to run the starter paper / card thingee through and did that a few times, but I don't really see a difference. Oh well, the pictures are nice enough for journaling.
When I fill up my trip journal, I'm going to start a new one in my traveller's notebook. I will be using the pictures in there along with in in my bullet journal. Since I bought some extra paper, I might use the Ivy more for a bit. I wanted to save the majority of the paper I had for the new beach trip. If this paper works well, I'll buy more as this seller had more. I actually got 40 sheets. I figured for the $6 (and that was shipped!) . I'd go ahead and buy two. So, I have forty sheets from my original package un-opened, and 8 or 9 sheets in the printer. I also have the four packs of 10 sheets of the 'new' paper.
I've been watching web cams from Myrtle this week and this is the first day it's even looked like bad weather. It's been raining down there all day and it's really windy. I'm hoping that is all they get. Some rain and wind. I want everything back to normal so I can go! My friend got his refund today, but they didn't refund as much as they were supposed to. I hope he is able to get that sorted out. I really want to go back. I wasn't even down there 12 hours on a week long trip! We always say our trips fly by, but that was ridiculous. :P
OH! I buy a lot of Mountain Dew and I've been doing the Dew Nation Rewards for a while now. I've gotten two t-shirts from them. I also got a cool beach lounger today. It's funny that it came when I would have been at the beach! I wanted a Dew hoodie SO BAD but they sold out of those QUICK! By the time I saw them, they didn't have any left. BOO! Hopefully they'll restock. I also got a thingee for the car to mount my phone. The one I got last year at the Dollar Tree broke recently. I am not complaining. It lasted almost a year and it was only $1. This one is made differently so hopefully it will work better.
Here is the puzzle so far, remember, I haven't done much. You can see the beach chair in the background! It folds up and even has a shoulder handle. It's nifty!
