Picked up my new laptop today and bought a couple things at Sears and Best Buy and stopped by the beauty supply and Trader Joe's. And paid a couple of monthly bills (ahead of schedule).

Bottled water

Iced animal crackers

Water bottle w/ filtration onboard

Then at the Thrift Store-

A teapot (steeping type)

I bought a few groceries, last night.
Today I'm going to treat myself to an movie at the cinema. I might stop by my favorite dress shop and browse latest arrivals.

I bought...
 

Tea, tea, and more tea....I probably bought way too much tea. :giggle:

Within the past several days I have bought clothes, shoes, chocolate (See's of course) books, stamps, (ice creme scented & Mr. Rogers) greeting cards, Mackles'more cookies from Hello Robin, (to die for & as addictive as crack) and countless other things no doubt I'm forgetting.

Cheeses: Ausubal, Montebello...among other things :)

Was yesterday...

We went to get more.chicken food since apparently the girls eat like dinosaurs now....

And..

I.found a perfect pair of Merrell hiking boots. So I got.those too. I broke them in this morning ...sooo happy

Nothing yet, but I want too. Does that count?

Yesterday I bought an lovely set of bed sheets, an comforter, and bathroom shower curtain and bath mats from an local Bed Bath & Beyond store, in town.

Really grateful for local delivery to my home and that shipping was free.:bunchflowers:

Laptop
 

just came home with an HP laptop, 2nd one; the other is doing fine, but I wanted (didn't really need) a second one - lol
my desk is beginning to look geekish, ha! - what with the Sony flat screen on which I watch cable, this laptop on which I may stream/download, check BFP, emails and surf... and the 2nd laptop for which I have other plans... :thumbsup:
all and all a really good day, had brekkie at Timmie's (farmer's sammich on a biscuit), traipsed about; lunch was a small portion pizza at pizza hut, and then to LD to buy the laptop; will have to go to cable co. to get the 2nd laptop connected to cable co. so as to download a few apps...
grinning - life is so good, and I love summer, oh happy days...

I think I'm using shopping as.a coping tool...

I've been buying backpacking essentials and getting excellent deals...but now I've got.everything I need so...I switched to books.

I've got one on the way by naturalist Bernd Heinrich. Forget which one I ordered. Its.either Summer World or Winter World.

Today I ordered Allen and Mike's Backpacking book.

I sense a theme of needing nature..

I'm armed with a fistful of cereal coupons and shortly I'll be leaving to purchase as many boxes of cereals as I can comfortably afford to buy!

I am not a big cereal fan, these are for a food drive that Kingston is running in conjunction with a back to school supply drive as well.

I have no intentions of buying any of the so called "healthy" cereals! It's going to be all ones that kids love and none of those off brands and cheap imitation either!

Nothing yet. But, I have set my sights on Amazon and maybe Michael's (if Amazon does not have what I want).

Water
LaCroix
Spin Drift
Kind bars
Black pants

Camo cargo shorts
Camo Henley tshirt

What would have been about a 90 dollar pay was 39. I took mega advantage of a sale.

A “back to school” gift for my girlfriend...a signed Awkward Yeti print for her classroom. :D

Yesterday, I bought a much needed set of earbuds/mic for my cell. I have 2 bluetooth types - however, they do not work well at all. So, back to the old school method.

Well, THIS never transpired. Apparently, when I went to hit purchase or continue or some other such word- it did not "take" the order.

But, today I went to a local place and bought a nice set of black SkullCandy earbuds with the mic.. and I test drove them on my lunch break.. well worth the money spent.

Tomatoes
Basil
Gas
Coke

Ice cream and tampons. Yeah.

I bought...
 

A couple of business and self-development books. :reader:

Haircut

Calendar large enough to see to keep track of appointments

Huge iced latte, no flavor just whipped cream, plain almond milk, and easy on the ice

Deli food

A few groceries to get me by until I do the big shopping
