Home again, home again

Scarlet and I trekked back to Colorado with Jon this week. And thanks to his extended effort and skill, Coloradians are now able to buy discounted clothing from employees with much greater ease. I'm a Ross regular. I have a hard time paying more than $10 for a shirt thanks to them. My second most frequented shopping place is Nordstrom Rack. It is perfect for an oddly shaped girl like myself. Occassionally they will have a random super long pair of jeans that make my life just a little bit happier. I actually found a really cute dress there just a few days ago, originally $150 and I got it for $10. It's kinda fancy too. Now I just need an occasion to wear it!

Speaking of good deals, Courtney just went to Homecoming recently and wore a dress my mom found for under $40. Added a few sparkles here and a little material there, and she looked goregous!





Colorado was great. We didn't do much more than hang out in the hotel room, but it was a great hotel. The nicest people worked there. Scarlet slept in the closet while we were there and she has never slept so well in her life! She didn't take a nap that was under 2 hours. I was pretty sad to leave that closet...

I got a little antsy one of the days we were there and needed to get out of the hotel. I didn't have a car so I could only go to places within walking range. And, as luck would have it there was a nail place across the street. I RARELY have my nails done. In fact, I have never had nails put on and I think I have gotten like 1 manicure in my life. But I love love love pedicures. I think they are so relaxing. I have terrible feet from the fact that I wear flip flops every day of my life. It is so nice to get them all cleaned up and looking so cute. I very much enjoy looking down at my feet and seeing cute toes.

Nail places are also one of the only places where I am a really good tipper. I am an overall good tipper, but I go all out at nail places. Mostly because I can't believe someone has been willing to spend so much time with my feet.

I hear you on the pedicures. I got a pedicure gift certificate as a baby shower gift and man was that the best gift ever. I'm addicted to them now. They feel soooooo good! Now you've got me wanting one.

Wow, Court's dress is adorable! Man everything changes so quickly. I hope you're doing great. Yes, Ryan and them are in med school down on the islands--weird to be so far away! But it's all going well. I agree and I'd have to say Kritt would agree also on the pedicures lol
