24 Weeks!!!

I start the last day of each work week with a nice trip to a local coffee shop and I get a wheat bagel with egg and cheese and - if they have it - a large hot apple cider. Loving this day already! It began with music in the bathroom during my shower (Snoop Dogg and Gin Blossoms, yeah, we're eclectic). I also packed up the treats that I cooked up last night for my ladies and gave Jake a goodbye hug and kiss. Jesse promised a fire this afternoon and I'm hitting up a sale at Kohl's on the way home to get some more Christmas shopping done :) 

This morning as I was sitting at said coffee shop an older man sat behind me. I had headphones on - which to me is the international signal for "I'm not available". I then hear him say "So how many friends do you have on facebook?" I was one of one people sitting at the coffee shop so clearly I knew who he was talking to, so I politely replied "Too many!" He then asked if you can get rid of friends so I showed him how. Then he asked about getting out of pages he had "liked" so I explained to him how to do that. Then I put my headphones back on and continued my searching. 

I had exhausted facebook so I moved on to catching up on my blogs. I was reading The Vegetable Life by my cousin's wife. After a few minutes he chuckled and then said "A Vegetable Life! That's easy! Get ripe, get picked, get eaten!" Personally, I think he missed the point of the blog...

After work I stopped by said coffee shop again to pick up some gift cards for Jesse. The wait was ridiculous and I was "that person" who cut in line. There was a high school girl in line ahead of me who was dressed very inappropriately. She stepped out of line to go talk to her friends and one of the girls behind the counter was ready to take an order - so I gave them mine! Then she came back and the guy behind me made sure to mention, over and over again, how it's the right thing to let her order first because she had been there longer. I thought about popping the pregnancy stance and making him feel bad for trying to make a pregnant lady feel guilt for not wanting to stand and wait any longer. 

Next stop was Kohl's. Ok, it was really McDonald's for some nuggets and fries, but then it was Kohl's. I found a pair of maternity jeans with a clearance sticker for $17.86! I looked through the entire two racks of them and there wasn't another single pair of jeans on clearance - but the sticker was there. I figured maybe someone had grabbed it from the clearance rack that I was too lazy to go look for and had put them back on the regular price rack in exchange for a different pair.  I had a 15% off coupon and some Kohl's cash to add to my transaction. I picked up some Christmas gifts for the kids on our list and headed to the register. The jeans rang up for much more than $17.86, but of course I politely mentioned to the cashier what the sticker price was. So she corrected it...I ended up saving over $30 on them! And by the way, why are maternity jeans so darn expensive?! It's not like they come with buttons or zippers...
