I really should be doing homework. . .

*I was thinking about becoming a vegetarian, but then I remembered how much I love my mom's green chilli burros(and those amazing pork salads from Costa Vida), and I decided against it.

*I absolutely love my new polka-dotted sheets from Target - they were only $5.98 and make me smile every time I slide in between them.

*The new director of the Russian choir says "ready. . . .go" whenever he wants us to sing. It's quite possibly the most ridiculous thing I have ever had to witness multiple times every Thursday.

*Last night I quite literally fell asleep into a textbook. It's definitely in my top ten list of most pathetic moments as a college student.

*My new roommates think I'm completely nuts because I constantly practice Russian under my breath and literally squealed with joy when I opened a box to discover that my "Big Silver Book of Russian Verbs"(yes, that is the actual title) had arrived from amazon.com.

*I miss my brother the most when I'm making omelets.

*Next weekend will be filled with general conference, visiting Kalia, pajamas, bran muffins, macaroni salad, and jigsaw puzzles. It will be glorious, and I can hardly wait.

*The other day my roommate was filling out some dumb survey thing that asked what kind of an animal she would be. After literally a half hour of debating, she said, "Oh! Maybe I'll put dolphin. Wait. . . a dolphin is an animal, right?" She was totally serious. People, I can't make this stuff up.

So it's been like five months since I posted, and all I've got is this lame post about some shirts I got for a steal. . .

My friend Camille over at Archives of our Lives has been doing a "Saturday Steals" feature on her blog recently and I decided to participate this week(you should too, I'm sure she would love to have you).

Anyway, so earlier this week I ran into Old Navy to pick up a new white shirt for work. I have to wear white, and I'm working like a bajillion and two hours this week, and I desperately needed a new white shirt. Not the point.

Anyway, I went into Old Navy and lo and behold, they were having a sale in which all of their clearance items were fifty percent off. It was glorious. It was also thoroughly picked over(it's a college town, these things happen).

Of course, there was not a white shirt to be found amongst the clearance racks, but I managed to find one for $10- originally $14.50. Not exactly a steal, but this story gets better, I promise.

I then found a cute purple sweater with huge brown buttons for $3.49. I kid you not, $3.49. The buttons alone are probably worth that.

I also purchased three simple, but cute t-shirts. One was $2.98, and the others cost me $1.98 a piece. That's almost cheaper than fifty percent off day at Goodwill!

Grand total: five shirts, $21.83 - I realize this would be far more impressive had I not needed the ten dollar white shirt, so if you take that out, that is four shirts for $11. 83, and that is a steal indeed.


PS, sorry for the crappy, last minute cell phone picture.
PPS, I am three finals and one nasty work week away from a much needed break in sunny AZ! [insert hallelujah chorus here]
