goodbye winter!

Well it's almost spring and we didn't get much winter here in San Diego and I kinda miss it. This time next year I might not be saying that since we're moving to a place that gets really cold in the winter time. But for now I'll have to pretend, and dream about nice sweaters and mittens and the joy of buying that winter coat.
I'm really looking forward for spring, it's my favorite time of year. The flowers, the trees, my birthday, which happens to be next week. I know, it's not technically in spring but lets just say it does.
Monday we leave for our cruise and I can't tell you how super excited I am. I got a new birthday outfit yesterday, a dress from Anthropologie that I got on sale and even got an extra 30% off because the zipper didn't unzip all the way. How cool is that? I was expecting to pay about $150 for a dress and walked out of the store with only $60 less. I got some cool leggings and a very sweet sweater at Target, then I had to go to payless for some work shoes and they were having a buy one get one half off sale, so I got these really cute red wedge shoes that go perfectly with my dress. I never go in there so I was very pleasantly surprised to come out with such a good find. I'll try to get a picture of me on my birthday wearing my new outfit and post it. I also got some brown converse which happen to go with the outfit for a more daytime look. It was the best shopping day ever. Scott even found some good stuff. Now I just need to find some jeans since all of mine are so worn out there either frayed at the bottoms or ripped on the knees. I've had a gift card for Nordstrom's since 2 Christmas's ago that I have planned on spending on a new pair of jeans, that's how long I've needed some. It's so frustrating to find a good pair, I have long legs and I'll have to try on a bazillion pairs just to find that one pair worth spending over $100 on. It's too nerve racking I can't even think about anymore. Happy end of Winter everyone.
