Today was capital F-U-N FUN!


After work, my boss 'kidnapped' us. They put us on a party bus and didn't tell us where we were going or what we were doing. They took us to the mall, gave us $100 and 1 hour and the rule to only spend it on ourselves. Not gifts for anyone else. SOO AWESOME. 

What did I get you ask?? Well....let me show you :) 
This sweet Fossil watch! I've been wanting this watch for a long time. I've been watching the sales online to see if it ever goes on sale so I could snatch it up. And today I finally got that chance! I went to Macy's and the nice lady behind the counter let me use her family and friends discount, so I even got it 25% off! Awesome!

I also went to Bath and Body Works and got a sweet gift set that was half off, and a  new lip gloss :) And I had $5 to spare!

Pretty sure that was the best idea ever. It was so funny when we got to the mall and they handed us the envelopes...we were all in shock. Picture it...a bus full of 21 girls (and 3 guys). At the mall. With free money. Helloooooooo PERFECT MATCH. They opened the doors on the bus and we all ran into the mall like it was the end of the world.

It was actually harder to spend $100 on myself IN ONE HOUR than I thought it would be. Sounds great right? Free money and a mall full of stuff to choose from? That's the problem! Too many choices!! And not enough time to go through all of the stores and look for what you really want. I'm glad I had that watch on my mind for awhile and thought to go look for it. In the end we all spent most of it - I think we all only had a few dollars and change left. They threatened us that whatever we didn't spend, we'd have to give back...but they didn't actually take it back.

After that was our actual party at one of our bosses house - that was pretty fun but we (Josh, me, little friend Megan and her fiance Zak) left early to go home and play Mario Brothers. Yup, that's right :) I dominated. Duh. Not because we were party poopers...but because everyone else was drinking and it was starting to get crazy and that's not our idea of a good time. But it was still fun :)

And now it's late and I'm tired...so I'm going to bed.

Merry Christmas! :)

  2. What a fun,great idea!!! Must have been a crazy moment when you all realized what was going on!! I would think that would be hard to spend that much $ on yourself--especially with only an hour to do it!! Enjoy all the "goodies" you got!!
