check your wallets...

so in checking my wallet this week, i discovered some gift cards that i'd forgotten were there. in seeing them i thought to myself, "there must just be a couple dollars left on there." nonetheless, when you're not supposed to be spending and you find giftcards, you figure you can find something for a few dollars to spend them on, right? so i go to old navy at the beginning of the week and discover that the card has $30! wow. i bought a skirt then took it back and bought some pants and i'm pretty sure i'm going to take those back too. i don't really like old navy. everything fits a little weird on me. the next store that i hit today was AE. if you remember, i was there the other day and spent $10 on a tube top but i discovered this card after that incident. so the card has a christmasy theme to it and i ask the girl, "i'm wondering if this has any money on it." she looks at it and says, "whoa, this is old." and then launches into a speech about how yada yada a dollar is taken off every month after non-use of 24 months blah blah blah "so there's probably nothing left on it" and i'm just giving her the stare saying, "just check." so she checks it. there was $40!!! how great is that? i'm pretty sure that these gift cards were from my mom (THANKS MOM!) at some time but when you have the card, you're way more careful about what you spend it on because you don't want to waste it right? ok...maybe that's just me. but anyways...apparently i was so careful that i forgot about the cards. happy me to have bought a sheerish white long-sleeved hooded v-neck pullover (use your adjectives kids) from AE today.

is there too much talk about shopping on this blog? when you have full days with no plans, why not walk around a mall or "power centre"?

anyways...off to JLF for some treadmill intervals.
