Shopping Spree! lol

I think I told you that when I lost 50 pounds I was going to get the cricut (a scrapbook cutting system). Well, we know that I met the 50 pound lost awhile ago but I still haven't gotten it.

But the first part of August I decided I was going to do the cricut thing and Michaels was having a sale for the cartridges for $40 each. AND if you bought 3 of them you got Design Studio for free!!! So I decided to do it. Well, I knew I had until the end of the month to submit the rebate to get the design studio. So on 8/31 I submitted the rebate online but then it said that it had to be postmarked by 9/1.....uuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhh, CRAP!!! 8/31 was Sunday and 9/1 was Labor Day. OH MAN!!!!!! I was so mad at myself because it had been on my list for a couple of days and I had just been lazy and not taken the time to do it. So I was ticked at myself. But I sent it anyway on 9/2 with a note asking them to please accept it since 9/1 was a holiday. So yesterday when I went through my emails there was one from the cricut people and it gave me my code to get the Design Studio!!!! I WAS STOKED!!!!!!!! WOOHOO, WOOHOO, WOOHOO!!!!

Now just to get my cricut. So I had decided earlier in the week that today was going to be the day to get my cricut and also the outfit I was supposed to get when I hit 190 lbs. So after dropping Tye off at Pre-K I went on a shopping spree!! LOL Not really, but sort of! I tried on a couple of black pants for work, but since there was no elastic in the waist they just pooched in the back and looked dumb. I also tried on a pair of jean capris and they fit. Size, get this, Size 16/18!!!!! WOOHOO!!! Another bonus! I have gone from a 22/24 to a 16/18! YES!! They were a tiny bit snug, not that they looked bad, but they felt snug, but I bet if I lose only 3 more pounds they will be perfect. So YIPEE! I also tried on some shirts and found one that was also a 16/18! Feeling good!!!

So then off to the scrapbook area. I picked up my cricut, put it in the cart and got a few other groceries. I go up to the check out and the guy rings everything up and I am looking at the credit card machine that also gives you the running total and it says Cricut "You saved $84.00". So my thought was oh they have been on sale for awhile then. But then I looked up at the price screen thing, the one all cash registers have, the black and green one and it says Cricut $100.00! I looked back at the credit card machine and read the whole line and it says "Was 184.00. You saved $84.00" I was like WHAT?! ARE YOU KIDDING ME????? I asked the cashier and he said, "yep, that's what it rang up as." I looked at the guy behind me and I said, "that's a better price than the day after Thanksgiving sale!" (My scrapbooking friend got hers there the day after Thanksgiving last year or the year before I am not sure, and paid $119.) Anyway, the cashier guy says, "You got Christmas today!!" I said, "Maybe I should go back and buy some other things!" lol I thought I was stoked before! Now I was doing the happy dance!! Oh yeah, can you see it??? Yep doing the happy dance!! ROFL!

I am feeling lucky. Maybe I should play the lottery!! lol Nah, I better the save the money I just saved! lol
