Wednesdays are for Shopping!

Every Wednesday Laura and I go shopping at the thrift stores. We have a couple of different ones we like. I found a new one a couple of weeks ago when I was doing a Face Painting gig out in Old Hickory. It's a Goodwill store and they have lots of very nice clothing.

Ever notice how some thirft stores smell? Musty... that's the only word I can come up with. The Goodwill we went to in Old Hickory doesn't have that smell... and neither do the clothes.

Laura goes to find bargins for ebay (Wednesday is $.99 day) and I go to look for clothes for me since I've lost weight and all my winter clothes are way too big for me. Last week she got a dress by LL Bean for .99 and she put it on ebay. It sold for $42.00!! Well that sold me on the idea.

So this week I was looking for name brands and for clothes for me. I found a great outfit for myself, cost me a whole $1.98. Black velour pants and jacket. I just love it and am tickled I got such a bargin!
Laura beat me to some of the better finds...lol She found several pairs of pants with the tags still on them. She also knows what books to look for and found some great deals on them too. So it was a good day of bargin hunting for both of us.

On the way home we both were "starving"...so we stopped at Taco Bell and got a taco to tide us over. Not exactly on my diet, but I've been fudging a bit here and there lateley.

To date I've lost exactly 51lbs. I still have that much and more to go to reach my goal weight of 140lbs. Right now I'm just trying to reach my goal of 199 lbs by my birthday. (Nov 17th) I have just a little over a month to loose 9 lbs. I really want to be able to say I'm "under 200" on my birthday.
