Let's try this again

A year ago I tried to watch Orange Is The New Black and I didn't like it. The hubster is out for the evening and I figured I would try it again.

I started on Netflix and it remembers everything. Apparently, I didn't make it passed the credits before I decided I didn't like it.

I might have been a bit hasty.

Yay for Nordstrom Rack

I had a Nordstrom note to spend and headed over there to look for a lightweight robe.  I headed to that section first and found one on clearance for $42.  It was lightweight, turquoise, and short which would be make for a perfect summer robe.  I browsed around for a bit and had a cart full of clothes and finally made it to the shoe section.  Nordstrom Rack has two separate shoe sections aside from men's and women's.  They have a designer women's section and I always poke my nose in there just to see what they have.  It's usually weirdo looking shoes and even at a discount, I would never consider them.

Well to my surprise, they had Tory Burch Reva flats for sale.  For $160!  These never go on sale and are never included in the Tory Burch site sales.  So almost 30% off was a great deal.  I've been meaning to replace my current ones for a long long time.  They got pretty beat up from the rain in Paris.  They were super faded.  So I ditched the robe and snatched them up!

On a side note, an Off 5th open up right next door to Nordstrom Rack.  I popped in over there and they had a buy 1, get 2 on clearance items.  I was too tired to peruse everything and made a quick loop around.  Even the clearance items were expensive.  I did see a $3000 Carolina Herrera gown...  Maybe for Kevin's wedding, lol.

With nothing I could buy at a reasonable price, I figure I could pop over to the kids section and pick something up for my nieces or nephews.  Well, I ended up finding two dresses for me to try one.  Surprisingly, they fit pretty well, but I passed on them because one was a clearance item and would require me to find two other items less than that for my free items and I did not want to spend that much time doing so.  The other was just kinda eh and since I already spent $$$ on my new shoes, I just put them back on the rack.

It only took a year

to stop being an Ohioan!  Want to know how I came to that conclusion?

I'm sitting in my hotel room in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.  I'm glare angrily at what I think is my AC unit because it's making noise... noise that sounds like rain.  I realize slowly that number one that noise IS rain and second, there is no AC unit under the window, it's just a window.

It's like I forgot what real rain sounds like when it falls from the sky!
