When Retail Stars Align

I have to say, my birthday weekend was fun. My mom and I went to The Leesburg Corner Outlets in VA where there is every outlet imaginable, and the stores have genuine, for real bargains. No distance is too far for a good outlet. These made the ones we have around here look pitiful. The highlight of the outing was the Coach purse my mom let me pick out for my birthday at the Coach outlet. I will be returning, trust me. Besides that, the ride there was lovely. Antique markets and adorable roadside stands selling pumpkins and mums. Go if you can.
Sunday, Rich and the boys were given tickets to the Eagles and Pittsburgh football game, so I had the day to myself. I spent the afternoon bargain hunting at our local stores. Boy did I find deals. Happen to walk into one deep discount store and find oodles of my favorite line of Anne Taylor items at deep discount. Also found a tux jacket, tie, and shoes for Garret's upcoming Homecoming date at HUGE discounts. I felt like looking over my shoulder when I left the store to see if someone would come running after me, I felt like I was taking these things for free.
Finally, the sweetest part was my friend Yonette and Carleigh bringing me delish confetti cake and singing to me last night.... they are good friends.
