Hiya friends! So here it is Saturday! WOW! Chris finally got home late last night after being gone for three days on business and let me just say, THANK GOODNESS! I love my kids dearly and I am beyond blessed to be able to stay home with them each and every day…I know that…but man was I ready for a little help!!
So I did what any mom who needs a break and a little pampering does…I went and got my hair cut this morning! LOVE it. She didn’t do anything dramatic, just shaped and trimmed me up, but I went in armed with pictures and left armed with pointers on how to achieve some different looks!
If you have been reading for awhile, you may remember that I am mildly {okay, okay…extremely} addicted to General Hospital. While I am NEVER able to catch it in the afternoons, many a night I stay up and get caught up while the munchkins slumber! Thank goodness for DVR…what did we do before it?!
Anyway, there is a character on there who’s hair I adore! {ADORE!} While our cuts are very similar, hers is always so cute and sassy. I am sure it has a lot to do with the fact that she has it done for her each and every day and she is an actress while I on the other hand am a stay at home mom and have to try to pull off something presentable between breaking up fights and wiping bottoms. Not so glamorous, hunh?!
Isn’t she just so cute? Now if only my stylist could wave her magic wand and make me look like Megan!! So anyway, I left the salon with a little more “know how” on achieving some different looks! Ringlets, loose waves, sass. We’ll see if I am able to pull off anything remotely similar to how it looks right now!!
Moving on…I placed my Gymboree order. After much {and I mean MUCH} deliberation, it has been sent off and will be arriving on my doorstep in three to seven business days!! Anyway, Lisa always gets these fabulous 20% off coupons in the mail. Me? Never. So, after hearing of her coupon and then when another reader commented on taking 20% off the already discounted rate, my little mind started working in overdrive!! I hopped on over to E-bay and there are 20% off coupons all over the place! I mean, you have to pay anywhere from $1.50 to $3.00 for them, but when you are saving $20, it is worth it! As this economic crisis sets in, we are no different than anyone else out there. We have to watch what we buy and how much we spend just like everyone else. It isn’t fun…but it is. And like I was telling my mom the other day, Christmas might be a lot more simple and scaled back this year, but at least we get to go home. A lot of people aren’t even that fortunate and for that, I am so, so grateful.
Anyway…I lost my train of thought! I placed my order…the faux fur jacket made the cut. Other, much more practical items got the boot to make room for the fun, frivolous jacket! I have SO SO many ideas in mind for photos in that little number! I only hope I can pull them off!!
Back to the coupon…to make a long story short, I purchased one off E-bay yesterday and had trouble connecting with the seller. Because I am ever so slightly impatient {read…EXTREMELY impatient!} and she had not sent me the code hours and hours later, I bought another one. Still haven’t received the code on that second one yet, but the first one felt so bad that she sent me two codes!! Now, I most certainly don’t need to be buying anything more that what I already have, so I am giving away the extra code! An ADDITIONAL 20% off your online Gymboree purchase from now until December 24th!! {Remember that they are currently offering free shipping and having a major sale!!} Be the first to comment that you want this and let me know what exactly it is you “must have” from the wonderful Gymbo and I’ll email you the code!! I am sure I should be getting another code from the second one I purchased {late last night} so when it comes I’ll offer it up too!! {Don’t forget to include your email address if you are the first one who comment!!}
Okay, well the kids are playing nicely with Chris and I have presents to wrap, a bow board to make, receipts to enter, hair pretties to work on, Christmas cards to get ready to mail off and photography stuff to do!! Needless to say, I should get! I will be back in a bit to check for comments so I can send off that code though! Believe me, I am as impatient as they come in situations like that so I’ll be ready to go!!

I did my own little shopping spree on gymbo.com yesterday, after reading your last post! I love it! That jacket didn’t make my cut…but I DO want it!! Thanks for sharing that!
Boo hoo! I totally have two coupons. I would have sent you the code for free. Crazy that people can sell those on Ebay. Who knew. Still want the zebra jacket for me!
YEA! I’m glad you managed to get a coupon. I’ll keep you in mind next time I get them because I’ve somehow managed to get one in my name and one in Eric’s name.
Keep an eye on my blog, because I have too many gymbucks and I’ll be doing a giveaway before redemption.
