An Application and Thanks and Any Excuse for Some Shopping

Today was a big day. My internship (yep, INTERNSHIP) application has been turned in. Talk about a load off my mind! I wish I could say that I am now just playing a waiting game for a response, but I still have to worry about interviews at the end of March. I just want to get on with my life! Though March gives me plenty of time to make sure I really want to do the internship. It's just hard for me to know where we're going to be next January. I want to say that we will for sure be around here so I can experience the internship, but I just don't know where Spencer's (hopefully) job might take us, and when. He graduates in December, and I just feel like it should be a priority for him to get a job (seeing as it will undoubtedly pay more...). But I feel good about the internship right now, and I can change that status up until the end of March, so I'm not too concerned about my decision being final, just yet.

After turning in my application, I hurried home to find our thank you cards waiting on the doorstep! As excited as I am to finally have them in my possession, I'm a little sad that my excuses for not doing them are dwindling. I've filled out about 20, which seems like a decent chunk, and I'm happy:)

So, I did some celebration today!

Well kinda.


I started with my first experience at Plato's Closet! And I must say, not impressed. I will admit that most of my closet consists of clothes from teen stores, so I really expected most of my clothes to have some worth. Nope. One shirt. $2.60. Totally. Not. Worth. My. Time.

But alas, that was just the first stop on my journey of freedom. You see, Spencer works 2-7pm on Wednesdays, and I am done with class at 2. So I had all afternoon to myself. So I naturally did the girly thing and did some shopping.

First stop, visit teen store number 1. AKA American Eagle. I'm not proud. I still shop there. And most days I find a little too much that I like there. But not today. I always find it interesting that whenever I have a gift card/$10 off/$10 store cash I can never find anything I like! Today was one of those days, and of course, my $10 off coupon expires tomorrow. And I had a gift card, so my $10 turned into $35 and it was the perfect excuse to buy myself something. Or so I thought. But then I stumbled upon this beauty!

It's a lighter weight coat/jacket, and I am so excited to find things to wear with it!

So after that success, I thought, what the heck, let's just use all our Christmas giftcards, so I headed over to Banana Republic and found this beaut.

I don't care if Plato's Closet didn't take my clothes, today was a good day.
