…was going by too quickly for me. I have been slacking a lot on my blog and let alone Facebook. I am not doing much with Wordsraper either. Wordscraper is the other version of Scrabulous. Scrabulous was taken down for a few days due to some patented legal stuff going on between the creators of Scrabulous and Hasbro, the owners of Scrabble. So the Scrabulous creators worked on re-designing Scrabulous and it became Wordscraper. It still works the same but with this new application, the person starting the new game is able to create their own rules.
Simmie came over this weekend which was really nice. A nice break from my every weekend crap I do i.e. cleaning, bathe the boys, dusting and all the fun stuff that needs to be cleaned. She and I chatted till midnight. If I wasn’t yawning my head out, I would have stayed up with her and continued on our chitter-chatter. Our malaysian accents/slang were flying out from our mouths. DB said the dining room was flooded with Malaysian accents, the Manglish. Of course la, two Malaysians, hang out together, that is the only time to practice our Manglish, ma!! Good thing he is cool enough to speak to me with all the la’s too the next day .
Both Simmie and I went to Eden Prairie’s Costcos, a very nice place compare to Sams. Sams is getting to be so filthy and very “chaap”. I was comparing the prices between the two places of the items I usually buy. Some of the items are cheaper and some a little tad bit more. What I like is at Costcos, there are more organic stuff and best of all there’s Caribou’s Obsidian coffee beans. I told DB about Costcos carrying Caribou Obsidian, he was wild about getting it from there. It is cheaper by the pound. And yes, Simmie got me a membership card, she being the primary cardholder. She is just so SUHWEET!!! Thanks, Simmie! I can see me going to Costco in the coming weeks.
And from Costco’s we went to Albertville Outlet mall which was on the way to St Cloud for Simmie. It was my first time to the outlet mall. It is a great place to shop. I almost went into each and every store, look see, look see. The only two stores I bought anything was Banana Republic, a pair of shorts and Aeropostles. Aero is the only place now I can find pants that fit me. Yep, I needed new pants, coz my size pants went up. I blamed it on having an office job, sitting 8 hours a day, widening the butt. I have to say I didn’t pretty good with this shopping trip. The prices at the outlet are factory prices. Going into the Coach and Nine West stores was definitely a will-power challenger. I so wanted to get a Coach bag or a wallet. The price for a handbag is $108 and the wallet thingy is $39. Where can you find such great prices? Nope, didn’t get anything in there. Same with Nine West. Always love their shoes and boots. Nope didn’t get one and good thing they ran out of the size I want. If not I would have bought the pair of boots.
And that’s the weekend which brings the start of the work week again…… I need a vacation. can’t wait for this coming weekend. I will have to take a trip to St Paul to visit the State Fair. It ends Sept 4 on Labor Day. Fair food here I come.
