Today was a blog day. I didn't have to work today so Greg and I got up around 8:30am, ate a nice liesurely breakfast consisting of cereal for me, and blueberry eggos for greg. Then, we went to the gym and worked out for a little bit. Then we came home, took a shower, got ready, and had an innovative lunch. Greg has been wanting to get some sweat pants for a while now to lounge around in, and now that it is turning colder I suggested we go to target and look for some. Greg didn't know it, but secretly I was thinking that maybe I can get him to try on some other cute clothes while we were there. So we get to Target and look for sweat pants and the selection was pretty measley (sp?). But they did happen to have some cute clothes just as I suspected. So, I started wandering around in the mens section and Greg followed behind. I suggested some jeans he could try on and he actually liked them, saying "well I was just thinking I need some new jeans". We looked around some more and he said "well..... I do need another work shirt." Inside I smiled because my plan was working. I mean, we all know Greg, this is a MIRACLE!!!!!!! Then he says "but this isn't in the budget." And I say smiling, "yeah it is." (I'm the one that does the budget). So he finally catches on and says "was this your plan all along, to get me to buy some new clothes??" "yep," I say. We both laughed. We ended up getting some new jeans, a polo shirt, a sweater, and a long sleeved shirt.... and for only $58. Not bad eh? It was so fun to dress him up :) :) We drove home and Greg put on his new outfit: jeans, polo shirt w/ sweater over it, and new shoes we got him from DSW a couple weeks ago. He loves it!!!!
Then before Greg had to leave for work he called ESRI, a company in Redlands, California that wants to interview Greg. Finally he got ahold of the guy and he has a phone interview set for next week!!!!! We are so happy about this because we would love to move there! We are not getting our hopes up but it's a possibility.
So Greg left to go to work, and I decided to go to Bed, Bath, & Beyond just for fun since we still have gift cards from our wedding and tons of those huge blue 20% off coupon things.....and I haven't been shopping (besides for groceries) in a long time. I was in heaven walking around the store looking at everything. I decided to get a tablecloth and some nice napkins, which can be used for sunday dinners and holidays. It was very convenient because they had the dishes we got for our wedding on display so I could see how it would look with them. The tablecloth and napkins are a dark maroon color and very pretty. I'm excited about my purchase. On my way home I stopped at rite aid to get some long over due mascara, eye liner, and face lotion.
When I got home I made dinner, and it was soooooooo good. I tried a new recipe, sweet potato fries. I love trying new recipes (especially when they are delicious). If anyone wants the recipe let me know, they are made in the oven, not fried. Then I got a call from Greg on his dinner break. It was nice to talk to him and he excited to try the sweet potato fries tomorrow for his lunch. So anyway.............. now I am going to make the grocery shopping list.
Yup, this was definitely a blog day!
P.S. Maybe I can get some pictures of Greg in his new clothes and post them.
