Running thru Life....A Snowy Day

So as most of you know it snowed Saturday-

It was more like a rainy winter mix. 

I have been putting stuff of to do this weekend-
primarily a lot of Christmas shopping and errand running.

No snow/rain was going to stop me!

I woke up with a terrible neck cramp that radiated down my back-
I decided to go run my errands and come home and run later. 

I was hoping my body would recover as the day goes on. 

So I headed out in the slushy mix to do some shopping. 

I had to go over to Dulles because their stores had stuff that I needed that the Fairfax Shops did not have.

I stopped at Bed Bath and Beyond with much sucess picking up a Christmas Gift, a pineapple cutter, and some pillows (of course with my coupons in hand).

Followed by a stop at Lowe's for another Christmas present

Followed by a stop at Target to pick up some doggie presents for Clemson's new cousin. 

Followed by the Dulles Mall to look at these boots I have been covetting. 

(They did not have my size).

Completed- door to door in less than 3 hours. 

It is amazing how empty stores are when it is snowing!

I headed home to show all my purchases to my hubby. 

I was so proud!!!

Then I jumped on the treadmill to watch the latest episode of Greys Anatomy. 

Shower then a nap with Clemson Puppy.

I then started talking to my husband how I loved these boots I tried on but they did not have my size,
 they had the side bigger which was too big.  

He stated that I needed to go buy them now because knowing me I would wait too long and then would be gone and then he would have to list to me complain that I should of found my size and purchased them.
This happens to me alot!

Again this was not a purchase I rushed into- I did my homework, picked from one of my "staple brands" (Michael Khors,  Kenneth Cole,  Marc Fischer, Franco Sarto) so I know they would be comfortable and also fit my feet, waited for them to go on mega sale.   I have been wanting a pair of nice tall dress boots for over two years but I have had a hard time finding a pair that fits my calves.  I wanted them to have a heel but not a 4 inch heel like my normal style is!

Do not get me wrong- I love my calves but they make boot buying a little harder.  

So my hubby and I drove up to FairOaks (a different mall then earlier) and headed into Macys.
Yeap my hubby went with me because he also needed a new pair of shoes for work. 

I was in luck- they had my size.  

I tried them on and to my suprise my husband looked at me and smile- "you have to get them!"

Yes yes I do!!

Even more luck- the sales person let me take home the "Boot Molds" that they use to put boots on display to help my boots keep there shape. 

I was so happy! 

We proceeded to the counter with gift cards and coupons in hand and

now they below to me and my closet!.

Followed by a puppy play date and some Clemson football. 

Unfortunately, Clemson football did not go so well...

but what a great way to spend a snow day!
