who let the shoppers out?

If you’re like me, you won’t be able to resist the holiday sales sprouting up everywhere.

If you enjoy a good push and shove, you’re probably already at the mall getting your pretty toes stepped on.

If you prefer to shop in the comfort of home, you’re sitting there checking out these irresistible Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales!

So which one are you?

going back for seconds

Who am I trying to kid here? Did I honestly think I could just shop for 4 hours yesterday and not go back today for the second day of the sale? Obviously not because no matter how long the drive or how bad the crawl, I’ve just got to go back a second round. It’s so annoying… even to me *rofl*.

This shopping cart only shows half of what I bought today. Skye and Raine were fooling around with 3 large cotton pillows (not in the pix) while waiting for me to redeem my vouchers.

shopping cart

When I got home yesterday, I realized I should’ve bought more men’s briefs since they’re only half price and what with the incessant rain and all, I have people constantly on my back after dry underwear :roll: ! But I only managed to grab one more box today because they ran out of sizes. I wanted to buy Skye one more pair of Snails cargo shorts too but they were out of sizes on all the designs :sad: !!

The 100 Plus (sports drink) was cheap so I grabbed 2 cartons of 24 cans. The sushi was crazy cheap so I let the girls grab as much as they wanted. And we bought tons of bread, butter cakes and a blueberry cheesecake. When I shop, I’m a woman gone wild! I can now open a small deli in my front yard :lol: !

six-week weekend

Here we are, at the start of a six-week weekend, woo-hoo! Can you imagine that? Six whole weeks of nothing but weekends. Are we in luck or what? Just one of the benefits of being a WAHM, I guess. We get to have all the fun :wink: !!

We just came back with several bags of shopping after four hours at the Jusco Sale. Surprisingly the sale wasn’t that crowded, there were hardly any lines so we took our time trying out clothes. We only bought jeans, shorts and underpants. As usual, we couldn’t find any nice tops. The rest of the bags are all food :lol: .

guitar

Last weekend, we got the girls’ guitar strings changed so they can continue learning on their own, now that they’ve quit classes. It took us two trips to find the music store which wouldn’t rip us off. That’s what a big help GooMaps and my internal GPS are, honestly :lol: !

Skye’s friends from school want to go watch Twilight New Moon this week. I’m not a Twilight fan, neither are any of my kids *whew*. It’s just as well that Skye’s friend who’s organizing it decided to call the whole thing off.

Except for the fact that I still have to chauffeur Steev since his classes are still on, it’s nice being able to kick back, even if it’s only for six weeks which, I’m sure, will fly.

stupid handbag deal of the week

If I had to name my business promotion, I probably wouldn’t have thought of a more interesting name.

Baghaus Stupid Deal of the Week

As it is, I’m the most misunderstood person on the planet. So if I even breathed the word “stupid”, I’d probably never hear the end of it. Anyhow there’s nothing stupid about taking advantage of a great bargain for a funky handbag that’s going to get those gaps a-flappin’, know what I mean :wink: ?


Louvre Luv Me Not Hobo

This stunning fuchsia synthetic leather bag with lots of zippered bags is just one of this week’s stupid deals. There are new and different bags on discount every single week :shock: !

Better remember to check out next week’s Stupid Deal of the Week and the following week’s and the week after that, all through December 31, 2009. They’ve got handbags going at unbelievable prices and savings of 50% off or more. Nothing can stop me now!

beads and steals

So what is it that we do best on the weekend again? Shop, of course! Actually we were only window-shopping but goodness knows how often that leads us down the path to temptation :grin: .

bracelet

I’m a crazy accessories freak, so is Raine. Skye loves the odd accessory now and then. Right now, she’s not as crazy as us yet but under the influence of Mom and Sis, it’s only a matter of time :lol: .

earrings

These earrings caught my eye immediately! Gorgeous, aren’t they? Got both of these items for a steal too :wink: .

are these diaper bags glamorous or what?

Alright, here’s another reason to have a baby if you’ve been thinking about one. Practical diaper bags that double up as glamorous shoulder bags. Just look at these! No one would even guess they contain diapers, bottles and changing mats :lol: .


Baby Kaed Boutique Diaper Bags – Sheri Silver With Fuchsia Lining

This genuine leather diaper bag doubles as a great purse! How cool is that? With 12 pockets to help you stay organized, you’ve finally got room for everything from wipes to bottles to cell phone all in one handy bag with detachable shoulder straps. You’ve even got a zippered pouch for your changing mat.


Baby Kaed Boutique Diaper Bags – Shyla Brown Multi

And just look at this chic styling constructed of nylon and faux leather with pleated detailing. The straps are adjustable and with 5 interior pockets and 2 side bottle pockets, you’ll be have room for everything. There’s even a handy clip for your keys or pacifier purse! I love the clean, uncluttered design with no straps or ties sticking out that kids can grab.


Baby Kaed Boutique Diaper Bags – Avi U Rust Cream

If you’re into a funky antiqued brass hardware with playful accents, this is it! It has two spacious pockets in the front and back, and the interior has a zippered pouch and 5 interior pockets. The single button closure on the external pockets allow you to open them with one hand and once buttoned, keep things from falling out. A really neat feature is it’s got 5 brass feet to protect the base of the bag.
