Shopping makes me happy

From the time my alarm went off this morning I really didn't want to go to work. Usually I'm happy to go because I love it, but I really just wanted to sleep today. I was gone all last weekend so I didn't get any time to relax or sleep in. This weekend I am definitely going to make up for that. I started doing the ApoE for me and my mom, but so far it's not going well. I think it'll turn out okay. But at this point it's not ideal. It's weird with all the other interns gone. There are only 2 other people working in my lab so it's really quiet. I don't like it. It's also boring because there's less people to hang out with and less to do because not as many people are dirtying dishes and stuff. But it means that I will get more personal attention from Doug during my procedures.

I got my credit card statemtnt today, and I spent half of my usual monthly budget. That was a nice surprise. Plus I just got a $50 gift card from work, and I'm getting paid. So needless to say, I'm in a good financial situation right now (except for tuition, but don't get me started on that). So tonight I went shopping with my mom. We have a 25% off coupon for Gap, Banana Republic, and Old Navy. We went to Banana Republic at Kierland. Originally I wanted to get a dress or skirt or something for church. But all their dresses are like $150 and I didn't find anything I liked enough to spend that much on. So I settled for two very nice blouses that I can wear with skirts, jeans, or nice pants in the winter when it gets cold. My rule is that I have to absolutely love it if I am going to spend more than $30 on it. And I do absolutely LOVE the two shirts I got.

Tomorrow night I am cooking dinner for my family and the Rosens. I love it when we get together. It makes me think about our wedding :-) It's so nice that we all get along. I am lucky to have such great in-laws. Most of the time. Sometimes they can be annoying, but so can my own family haha.

This weekend is going to be nice. I am very much looking forward to relaxing. And I have a facial tomorrow. That always makes me happy. It feels so good and my skin looks beautiful. So overall, not a terrible day. I was tired, but it wasn't terrible. Thank goodness it's Friday.
