Got paid this evening. Should pick up my other check tomorrow. That brings me within $400 of my "absolutely necessary" goal, but I should end up with a $1000 extra when all is said and done. Of course $250 of that will go to releasing my car from the shop, $200 will get my back to Waco, almost $300 will buy books for next semester, and whatever is left will buy groceries. So much for my extra money....but at least I'll have all my bills paid. No worries about being evicted or having the electricity turned off.......I'll have to sing for my supper...but that's the worst of it.............

Alright, so Victoria secret was only part of the shopping experience. Went to Nordstrom -- and bought only 1 pair of shoes....Steve Madden strappy white sandals with a high heel....so very cute. We love Steve. Then I found my father's Christmas present at specialty store -- which of course I can't post here on the offchance that he reads this...and mother and I went into the fabric store for a "walk through" and I ended up with $80 worth of material -- half for my sisters' christmas present, but a gorgeous piece of gold embroidered velvet for a dress, and another cute piece of fabric either for my room, or to embellish a jean skirt. Then back to Nordstrom for a bathroom stop, afterwards I got diverted by a sweater set -- got them in 3 different colors. So that was my day. Then I got called into work -- so much for my evening off....but I had a blast shopping. Now all I need is the perfect jewelry!!
