Shopping Fun!

So it's been almost a week since I've last posted and not much has happened...diplomas came out this week...woohoo! lol! on monday we went shopping for some stuff for my sister's birthday and for my school stuff...i'm not sure what grade i'm teaching but either way i found stuff that's cute and i should be able to use for whatever age i teach. so this blog is dedicated to showing the few things that i got! ^_^.

we started at a few hit and misses and then we finally went to Michaels... i got ink pads and stickers! lol!

The stickers are from the "Littlest Pet Shop" collection! It's a sticker dispenser so it's going to be easy to use! lol! i got two boxes hoping they'll last me cause I'm a sticker maniac at times...lol!


The colors I got in the ink pads (as you can see) are Teal, Lavender, Red, Fuchsia, and Black... I like the different colors to make it not boring to see every paper that i give back! haha! AND they stack together!!! how cool!! I spent a total of $8.61 on everything so i think it was a good day!


Then we went to Adventures in Learning...so a teacher store where my cousin and i just stepped in to check out if they maybe had stamps for less than $10 cause i found some at Michaels but each was about $10/each...not in my budget! haha! As soon as we walked in Melysah found this classroom stamp set!

It is super neat...includes 10 wooden stamps, 5 colored pencils, 4 star sticker sheets, and a 2-colored stamp pad! lol! Each of the stamps as you can see can be useful in the classroom! I might even try to use the Sign & Return one...lol!!! That's all we got there...it was about $14...not bad...lol

Then we went to a Party Superstore...Card and Party Factory... we found some things for leslie's party and then I also found a few fun things...

2 flags... Texas flag and Mexican flag...still looking for the American Flag...thought it would be good to kinda have international flags...lol... I got a mardi gra mask maybe for halloween or whatever...lol and I got a Clapboard thing...like a directors... i thought it'd be cool to have something like this for fun in the classroom! haha!

everything for $5.70...

it was a successful day!

I can't wait to hear back from the school...

^_^.

up and running

so this last weekend spending time with april was amazing! i haven't seen april in what feels like a million years and although we only got to spend 2 days together it was great. :] i love you april!

we didn't really do much just pretty much lazied around! lol yesterday i arrived around 12pm and then phillip arrived around 2ish to escort us to the Apple store to get my computer fixed...we walked around the most expensive looking mall for about an hour and a half...actually i think we sat in the food court like total dorks for half an hour but whatever! lol everything was so expensive...you have to like own your own business to have a cup of icecream there! haha! well after that we headed to the apple store and the girl takes a look at my computer...i had a personal appointment with a Mac Genius...hehe! anywhoo...she checked it out and said it didnt seem like anything should be wrong with the system that it could be that i hadnt been updating my computer...whatever...so we updated it and she decided she would check with her boss about keeping it overnight to run a diagnostic test and get the top of my computer fixed. my keyboard and the corners were dirty and cracked for some reason so she volunteered to get it fixed for me for free! woohoo! lol! so now everything feels so new! hehe! and clean looking! i'll have to be more careful now...hehe...well we left to go to dinner at a mexican restaurant and it was actually really good! :] yummy! hehe afterwards we went back to april's place and watched 2 movies...in the middle of one we switched it and then went back...but i think we spent more time having fun with april's bunny rabbits...Raven and Chloe! haha! they were super cute!

anywhoo...they called me this morning the apple store called and said that my hardrive failed every test that it went through and they ran it like 20 times...so pretty much my hard drive was on the way out and they were surprised it hadn't already died...so i was like yup that's what i thought...so i went to best buy pretty much across the street from the mall after picking up my computer at Apple and got a new hardrive installed and officially have everything back on my computer...i have everything updated...installed...and running smoothly so far...

it's nice to know and hope that i wont lose everything...again...and again...and...again...hehe. now i can upload pictures and so much more cause the cute guy at best buy said that i have a whole lost more room that i did on my old hardrive... :]

after we did that we went back to the house and just chilled out till i came home at like 9... :]

it was super nice to get away...definitely felt like a whole weekend even though it was just overnight! lol! i love my family...really...sometimes you have to step back and have time to yourself...or to friends!

i love you april!! i can't wait to see if you'll visit me in South Korea!

well i'm off to bed...i have to mail off my wii in the morning to whoever bought it on ebay...lol! then work all day tomorrow...how depressing...but again i have to make money before i leave...

saving money is a pain... :-P

fingers crossed that i receive my paperwork this week...
