See How the Garden Grows (and My Pocketbook Doesn't)

I went crazy with the money today, and unfortunately, did NOT make purchases The Cheap Chick would approve of.

It all started with this super cute short sleeved pin stripe jacket that I picked up at the Fashion Bug. It's from Studio 1940 and as you can see, absolutely perfect for summer interviews. It was thirty percent off, plus I got an additional $4 off because of an in store promotion.

That was followed up by an ever expensive trip to Target. I pick up three beautiful planting pots, potting soil, and Fool's Gold staring Kate Hudson and the bongo playing Mr. Sexiest Man Alive himself.

Then of course I had to buy plants to stuff in my planters, and I did well there....except for the $25 Candy Corn vine I bought. But it's super cute, so I really don't care that I spent all that money and don't actually HAVE a place to plant it.

Road Trip!

Yesterday, I had a job interview up north. Way up north. Not quite to Alaska, or Canada even, but it was a good five hour jaunt one way. I'm so lucky my friends love me. Sweet and Sour Goth is such a doll and acted as my co-mapper/deer spotter/water bottle opener/hand me that bag of chips sidekick.

I think the interview went well. The school district is small, almost what you could call tiny, but there are lots of attractive things about it besides it being, you know, a full time job.

The trip up however is VERY LONG. I'm no closer to the 'rents, but I'm not farther away either. There's beautiful scenery up thatta way. Strangely enough, it looks alot like the 'rents' place out in NoDak.

I got my road trip in, even if it wasn't where I was planning on going, or when I was planning on going. Although I got sort of crabby and spacey at the end it was very satisfying. SS&G even made eyes with the Gas Station Hottie.

SSG and Me Loose in "the City"

While me and Becks had out big day out Friday on my day out, Monday afternoon S&SG and me went to see the Sex and the City Movie. While I wouldn't categorize her as a rabid fan, S&SG was super psyched to see it and I, well. I've seen a couple episodes of it on the WB.

I have to say, I found the escapades of Carrie and her girliefriends quite entertaining. Even for a neophyte like myself. Guess I'm going to have to rent all the seasons from the library now.

Also on our outing, I talked S&SG into hitting up Target, and I made out like a bandit. The Cheap Chick would be so proud. All the swag I scored was within the $20 rule. Some highlights include:

*A silver Xhiliration Tee on clearance for $9.08 that will double for both teacher-y things and kicking it with my girliefriends and their beaus.

*Merona Capris on sale for $15 that will once again pull double duty for both work and play.

*A neon yellow C9 sports bra on clearance for 11.88. Wont that look stylin'!
