It is pouring out today!!
But that didn't stop us from going on an adventure.
I saw on tv that Debenhams and BT were having summer sales, and I wanted to try to find a new dress for Coop's wedding, so I asked Kara if she wanted to go into town and go shopping last night, she said she was thinking about going to Mahon Point (a small mall on the outskirts of the city) so I figured why not. So woke up to it pouring this morning, gaaaah! So around 11.30 headed over to Kara's to meet up with them and we headed into the city to catch the bus. So that was uneventful, except it was the annoying misty rain. So part of the reason we were headed to Mahon Point was because Steph saw there was a Ben & Jerry's giveaway, so she thought it was in the mall, but it turns out it was in the outer mall area, outside one of the DIY stores. So we go back out in the rain, and walk over there, and we got our samples of the new B&J flavour. It was pretty funny, especially with all the rain.
So then we headed back into the mall and I found a dress in Debenhams :) and it was on sale! YAY! So I am pretty excited, its kinda differnt from other dresses I normally wear, but I really like it. It is yellow, brown and black, thick straps and right below the knee. So I'm now I'm even more excited about her wedding, I love dress shopping. Then we shopped some more and everyone was having their huge summer sales, so in Zara I found a cute black shrug cardigan to wear with the dress, a white crew neck summer sweater and then a black cartigan, because I miss my old one. So they were all on super sale as well. So I was pretty happy with my shopping. So of course it was POURING when we left the mall. Luckily we didn't have to wait long for the bus, and it pretty much slowed down, until we got off the bus and had to walk home. I was completely soaked, it was pretty funny. Nothing a change into comfy pants and a cup of tea can't fix.

The end of this week was pretty uneventful. Wednesday afternoon I hid in bed with tea and the a Jodi Picoult book - 19 minutes, I recommend it. I love her books and this one was really interesting and made me think a lot about high school, friendships and life - it is the school shooting one. Then Brenda and I watched movies and hung out. Thursday I had the day off and I was super productive, ok for half the day. I didn't do anything in the morning, but in the afternoon I wrote another 1500 words of the thesis :) yay! I'm now just over 9,000 words. Chapter 1 needs like 500 more words, chapter 2 is done and I'm planning on working on 3 tonight/tomorrow. Friday I worked in the morning, and we had a workshop on accommodation and dealing with the legal aspects of everything, tenant's/landlord rights and all that. It was interesting and I felt I learned will be good because we have sooo many questions on deposits and such. Then all morning my allergies were killing me, my eyes were itching and my contacts gave me a fight going in but I wore them, so by mid-morning they were reallly bothering me, and one wasn't in right, and I put it back in but it didn't help. So my vision wasn't all there, so it gave me a massive headache, as soon as I got home from work I put my glasses one and tried to watch tv, but it was such a bad headache I took a nap, and then watched movies with Brenda. So I didn't get anything done. grrr. oh well.

So now I'm off to thesis for a bit, I want to write another 2500 words before Monday. What a fun Saturday night...
