Yesterday I went shopping with Meredith for the purpose of finding shorts and capris for me, and comfortable flip flops and sandals for her. I didn't find capris that I liked (we really only had time for two stores), but I am now the proud owner of shorts. I haven't owned/worn shorts since freshman year in college, maybe. This doesn't include the workout shorts that I love and are so comfortable, but actual fashionable shorts to be worn anywhere. The material is kind of thin, but I'm impressed with the style that comes out of Old Navy, a store I haven't been to in about 5 or 6 years. I even bought a couple of shirts, one I bought because I was told it looked cute on me. It's a different style than I normally wear, but I figure I should give it a shot.
After that we hit a couple of stores that were flops, or closing, but then we managed to get to Ross before it closes. By the way, I think it's ridiculous that stores close at 9pm around here. Anyway, at Ross we were looking for sandals, and we found some!! I love my Reef sandals, but the heels are finally starting to get too thin. There aren't any holes yet, but it's getting there. Anyway, Pac Sun doesn't carry the style that I like, and the ones they have there now aren't that comfortable. Well, while we were at Ross I found the style of sandal I love!! Of course they have a size down from what I really need, but the size I got still fits, if only just barely. I almost cried I was so happy, and they were SOO comfortable! To top it all off, they were only about $10, when they normally cost almost $30!
I am now the proud member of a gym. I haven't been in a gym in years, but that's because I never have anyone to force me to go. I can always find an excuse not to go to the gym. But Mer talked me into joining a gym, and she promises to drag me to the gym at least three times a week, which is what I need. Our first workout date is on Monday, and I'm a little excited. I may try to go to the gym sooner than that, but I started feeling kind of blah today, so we'll see. Speaking of working out, I've been rather frustrated with the weight I've put on in the 9 or so months. I've weighed myself in the last couple of days, and I've lost about 5 pounds!! This isn't bad considering it's been mostly me doing stuff at home, swimming in class, and riding my bike a couple of times. That means there's hope for the future!!
The only thing we didn't get last night, other than capris for me (which there wasn't time to get), was the tickets for the Def Leppard/Poison concert tickets in August. I am so excited for this concert, you don't even know. I've wanted to see Def Leppard for a long time, and I've missed out on two chances to see them for one reason or another. Hopefully we'll get tickets today.
It seems my plans are to stay in Logan for the summer. Career hunting is really frustrating, especially when you're just looking for a job to pay the bills. I've sent out half a dozen resumes and filled out as many applications, but haven't really heard anything back. Luckily, my data entry job on campus is willing to let me work full time for the summer, but will have to let me go in August when school starts up again. So now I have time to find a job, or career - I'll take either at this point. I have a couple of ideas of where I want to live for the summer, I just need to call and confirm details, and hopefully see the apartments to see if it's really where I want to spend the summer. I'm going to try for roommates this time, and I'm hoping I'll be a little more social than I've been this school year.
