Memorial Day Weekend Happenings

Well, hi there.

It was back to work for me on this Tuesday. But it wasn't without a little Memorial Day and weekend enjoyment.

Friday

Katy and I got it off quickly with a movie with Nick and Becca Friday night!

Oh wait wait wait! Even before that I called Katy because I needed her opinion on a suit I found at Macy's. I was at lunch browsing around the stores looking for dress shirts and pants for Adam's ushers. Well, I stumbled upon a nice light gray suit in the Perry Ellis section. I liked it enough and the price checker was close enough that I could scan it without wasting too much time. Well, I did and the $89.50 pants scanned at $9.99! Are you crazy! Then I was even more curious after deciding I'd definitely get the pants. I walked back over, grabbed the suit jacket and it scanned at $19.99! No way! I grabbed my size(s) and put them on hold for later so I could try them on. Well, I tried it on later, it fit well and then in the end made off with three suits for $90! Sweet deal! We ended up getting mine but we bought two for Josh to try on, which he did and he kept one of the others and I returned the third. So, that's my rehearsal dinner outfit!

We went to see The Chronicles of Narnia Prince Caspian. I enjoyed it. I only looked at the time once, and that means it was entertaining enough to contain my restless legs. That is sort of one of my ways to critique a movie, how many times I look at my watch and how restless my legs get. The fewer times I look and the less I move my legs, more than likely the more I liked it. It was long though, somewhere north of two hours and 10 minutes or so. After that I took every one out for a shared dessert because Nick's birthday a few days before.

(On a side note about movies though, since I watch so many now because Katy is such a big fan, I'm going to work on developing some good movie review skills. So, if you know of any good sites to help me in that process let me know!)

Saturday

Saturday morning Katy and I drove to the outlets in Albertville. We had a few specific things we were looking for so we decided to give them a shot since Rosedale was getting tired. My shopping luck continued at Ralph Lauren where I found a custom fit spread collar dress shirt for $39.99, which is what I'll also have on for my wedding day. I also grabbed a sleeveless running shirt for 15 bucks. What a steal.

Then we randomly called Josh and Laura and ended up going to Pizza Luce for some yummy Mediterranean and Classic pizza! It's so tasty! That was also when we fit Josh for his $30 suit.

Sunday

We enjoyed a BBQ at Bob and Deb's Sunday before all of the gray, cold and twisters ran though. We had some tasty burgers, garlic and rosemary chicken, watermelon, salad, and corn on the cob!

Monday

I FINALLY changed out my closet from winter to summer. That was an enjoyable task. Then Adam and I got together to look at Rosedale for his summer wedding ushers outfits. We ended up finding some nice threads at Express. So, cross that off of his list.

Then Katy and I got together for dinner and hung out for a little bit.

While I was at the mall I found out our assistant store manager had her house completely demolished by the tornado that ran through Hugo, MN. Yikes. She has nothing from what I heard at work this morning. At least she didn't get hurt other than a few bumps and bruises.

News

I also had my Target interview this morning. I think it went pretty well. It was for about a half hour in my car after I went to work this morning. She asked a good deal of questions which I had some good, some un-ordinary answers for. She said she'd get back to me hopefully by Friday to let me know what the next step would be. Hopefully, it's good news!

Also on the news front; Katy and I have been approved for our apartment next to the Target on Snelling! Yay! That's a pretty nice thing to have off of our back.

That that is about it for now. I have sort of lost my train of thought.

Today's Takeaway-Life is a test and a trust.

Oh yeah, and if you get this far down here is my Birthday list-if you even so choose to get me something.

Cash. Gift card to Banana Republic, Gap, Herbs or Bon Ton, Macy's, Target, Gas and I had a couple other ideas but I forgot them. Told you I need to go to bed. Lata.
