I'm a teensy bit excited to be going away tomorrow. Even though I'll be going under the guise of work, I'm actually more tagging along than anything else. It'll be a, hopefully, relaxing car trip :)
Today was a bit hectic with multiple issues cropping up at work. Job-related problems not those of a personal variety. I've actually been rushed off my feet all week so, yea, I definitely deserve this mini-break (although it is work :D).
Anyways, the last time I visited this place was back in December 2007 and then, it was truly a holiday. I went out there for a 3 day weekend just like tomorrow's trip and had one of the best times ever. It was a gal pal trip with my former roomie. Our first time travelling together in a personal capacity.
Ok, aside from that, today is my colleague's birthday so a birthday shoutout goes out to him:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO KS!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!
He held his birthday do at one of my fave seafood places and I practically inhaled the calamari. And dessert was a delicious Swensen's Macadamia Green Tea ice cream cake courtesy of the bosses. Yum! Ooh, I also broke out my Newport News tunic blouse in Dahlia; pairing it with my 7 boyfriend jeans, DKNY bracelet watch, black wedges and Just Cavalli clutch.
Other things I've been up to.....well, I finally caved to my shopping craving and purchased 2 things off of Newport News since I am so satisfied with my experimental buy. I got myself these clogs that I've been lusting over for the past 2/3 weeks as well as a cape sleeve belted cardigan. And I spent a mere 44.++ bucks. The shoes were $39 and the cardie was $14.99 but I had a 15% off coupon code and a shipping for 1 buck code so that's what saved me about $7.50. I also had a deferred billing code and put that in. God only knows if it'll work since I'm kinda scamming them on the whole freight forwarder US address as my billing addy. If it goes through, I think the charge will only appear in November. So, fingers are definitely crossed that defferred billing is a go since then I'll have cheated a bit on the whole curbing my shopping issue.
Right, I haven't packed a stitch, have a ton of clean clothes next to me as well as in the laundry basket waiting to be folded and I'm already sleepy. I will most likely end up going straight to sleep with all the stuff unfolded and unpacked cos I'm just too lazy right now. Will get up early instead to do some housekeeping before the departure time of 7:30 am.
