Shopping frenzy, among other things

Today I was off and had a lot on my calendar: I dropped off the items for church and found out that I have to have all 60 money bags sewn by Ash Wednesday :-0..........I hope my bff will help me; mailed my Big Shot back for a replacement; and got my teeth cleaned. My regular gal is off on maternity leave and the one who was there was rough! My mouth still hurts. There's a filling in a wisdom tooth that needs to be replaced. They asked if I could come back in the afternoon to do it.....a split second later I replied with a decisive "No". Hey, I need time to work up to that.

Then I was suppose to take my nephew to work but didn't have to. On the way home I had planned to stop at a gift shop to look at totes.........so I did. Ever heard of Marie Osmond bags? I hadn't either........ they look like Vera Bradley knock offs. I hemmed and hawed...but at 50% off I decided to get this one. It's like big purse....the size I wanted...and at a little over 1/3 of the Vera Bradley I saw on Monday it was affordable. I like it. It doesn't have all the inside pockets that the Vera's do; only 1 inside and 1 on the outside, both zip and so does the bag, that is what I wanted.
Today the UPS guy was here early in the morning, he usually comes in the late afternoon. He brought me my Magic Wand scanner from HSN, mine is purple. I know, I have a scanner, but this one is portable and I can take it anywhere and scan just about anything. It was a TODAY'S SPECIAL VALUE.

Then I decided to check out the Birkenstock sandals.............and viola! I found this black shoe on clearance. The black ones I have are pretty grungy looking......I bought them (used) on Ebay several years ago.
