Ross Does it Again!!

 
 
 
 
 
Alright, so a few posts ago, I was debating
whether or not to spend a fortune on a sweet
Nike shirt that I found at Dicks Sporting Goods.
A good friend of mine saw the post and sent
me a $10 off coupon for the store. I got really
excited and went in the next day to get the shirt.
I ended up leaving disappointed because they
didn't have my size and even with the $10 off,
it was still too much to spend for an ill-fitted shirt.
Two days went by and I went into Ross to pick-up
a new sports bra. To my surprise the Ross Girls were
going around with pricing guns discounting the
clearance rack to practically nothing. I went crazy!
Talk about pure joy. I purchased some things for $.50!!
I ended up buying three more fleece zip-ups. Two
Calvin Klein ones in Teal and Black and a peachy/pink
Reebok fleece hoody. The total of all three was less
than the one I bought earlier this season. I also got
two Adidas work out shirts, three sports bras, A cute
no-name work out shirt and two pairs of leggings.
It has been a long time since I lucked out like that.
I ended up getting a whole new work-robe for
ridiculously cheap thanks to Ross!

Snow Bunnies

How could I be this lucky? My sister who is my end-all-be-all BFF and I went to Mt. Bachelor with an amazing group of friends that my sister works with. My sister is a hair stylist up in Tacoma Washington at a sweet salon called Willow. There, she works with the Bridgett, Rachel, and Lisa. They are not only drop dead gorgeous but nice too. I was so flattered when they invited me on their big ski vacation. Eric, who is Rachel’s husband had a timeshare hook-up at Eagle Crest in Redmond, Oregon. We stayed at this super nice condo for FREE!


I had such a good time. Although it’s hard not to when you are around good people, and you have a freshly waxed board. On top of that, the weather was insainly perfect! Fresh powder and sunshine. Who could ask for anything more? We ended up skiing the whole mountain! Lisa, Rachel, Eric and I went to the very top of the summit. I was really jacked up on adrenalin until the chair lift approached the top and I realized that it is literally the top with just a short landing off of the lift. Guards stood at the edge to make sure no one went off the ledge. It was rad! Lisa said she couldn’t even remember the view she could only recall the fear!
For the trip, I packed two pairs of Boarding pants but only wore one of them. They ones I chose to wear are made by Columbia. They are gray and black hounds-tooth with fleece lining which I love. They have a cute stitch on the back pockets and belt loops which are perfect for my boarding belt which is white with a gray swirl. I opted for a waffle shirt, a light weight pink and black scarf, my black and white checked hat, and my boarding coat which is holding up very well considering it is three years old. In fact, all my gear is old but it’s all good. I still like it and it is definitely still functional. I was a little jealous that my sis got to buy all new stuff for the trip because buying new stuff for a trip is oh so fun!


OMG! I almost forgot to mention the Reggae concert… On Thurs. night we went to see Anthony B. at the Domino Room in downtown Bend, Oregon. It was really fun.


Bend is a perfect destination for my sister and I to vacation too! We have family on both sides which we were able to see and dine with and my besty from high school lives there with her 1 year old princess. All in all this was a great little getaway so thank you to all that helped make it happen.

 

Warrior Girl

What should one wear when they are a basket-case? Well, in my opinion there are two ways to go about addressing the delicate condition of basket-case-itis. The first is to wear the softest, most cuddliest items you own. That way when you break into a fit of tears those around you will love hugging you and encourage you to lay down and sleep it off. This approach is not one I am prepared to take today. The second approach and the one of my choice is to dress like a warrior so that one is prepared to fight off those that offend. I have this perfect new necklace that looks just like warrior armor. So I will wear that… Ring, Ring, RING!! Oh that is my phone. “Lindsey, we are having an emergency, can you come into work?” “Sure.” I guess warrior girl will have to wait. It’s Gymnastics Girl today which is almost the same thing.
