long time no post

WOW I can't believe I haven't updated in a week.  I guess by that you can tell how exciting my life has been (not).  This was just pretty much a typical week of work and home.  Friday after work I went out with friends.  We ate at Applebee's and partook in a little retail therapy.  I got some new crochet patterns to start on some doilies (man...don't I sound like a REAL granny?) and I got Mickey Mouse material to make a blanket for Mr. Tristan.  I was going to make curious George, but then I saw Mickey, and Miranda said he was falling in love with Mickey, so I decided to do that instead.  I got some awesome sales at Penney's.  I ended up spending a little over $9 and managed to save $108.  Now, THAT's the kind of shopping I LIKE!  I got a really neat candelabra that was supposed to be $80 for $4.97.  I couldn't believe it!  It will be great to use around the holidays.  It's really heavy and holds 6 pillar candles.  I LOVE IT!  I got one for my mom last year to put in her fireplace, but I think this one is even nicer than the one I got her.  I don't have a fireplace in my apartment, but I think it will look nice on my bar or antique trunk.  I can't wait to fire it up.  I LOVE to burn candles.  I feel like that's my treat to myself.  If you want to see me in heaven, just point me in the direction of a Yankee Candle store!

This morning I got up early and went to Pullman Square and helped with the Out of the Darkness Suicide Prevention Walk.  I ran into so many old friends.  It was nice catching up with people.  There was a great turn out, and the last I heard, they raised more than $14,000 with the event.  It was very touching and sobering.  Really makes you think.

Tomorrow will start out with church and then who knows what the rest of the day will bring. I 'm not sure what I'll get into, but I'm sure it will be good....because IT'S ALL GOOD!
