It was a beautiful day today. Great weather, sun shining, blue sky. I was going to clean and organize today, but around noon I thought it was so beautiful that I wanted to drive to San Marcos to check out the Pottery Barn Outlet and a few other outlet stores. I'd be back by three and have plenty of time to clean and organize. I get to the Pottery Barn Outlet and there's a big sale. 25% off everything in the store! Furniture an additional 30% off! PB Teen and Pottery Barn Kids an additional 20% off! Wow! When I moved to NYC I got rid of all my furniture so when I moved to San Antonio I had no furniture. The last thing I needed to get was a head board/foot board and I really wanted a wrought iron bed. I've been looking for the past year, but couldn't find anything in my price range. Well I found it today! Head board and foot board for $220! It weighs a ton as I could have killed myself when it fell on me when I was putting it together. (I'll add putting furniture together in the reasons to find a boyfriend in San Antonio column) Unfortunately, I have to take the headboard apart as my bed frame does not allow for a foot board. Oh well! I guess another $50 for an new bed frame isn't too bad.
And the story continues...S0 I purchase the bed and other items (pictures on another day) and went to load them. Since it was on sale- there are no refunds. And of course, the head board doesn't fit in my car. I try calling my sister and there is no answer. Frustrated, I call to talk to my parents to see if they have any ideas. My father offers to drive down from Fort Worth to help me! I have great parents! Luckily, my sister calls me back and offers to help, but she has an appointment and isn't available until 6:30. So I walk around the mall for 4 hours. Luckily, it was a nice day and all worked out. Except I got no cleaning nor organizing done. I guess that's next weekend!

Lucky! You have a PB outlet! I think PB makes adaptors for your bed frame. I love shopping days like that. My last best shopping day was at Christmas when our Pier One Outlet had an everything in the store was 50% off sale.
What a great find! I love PB. It was so nice to actually see the sun yesterday, wasn't it?!?
THat is an awesome deal! I bet it looks really pretty, and how nice is your family to help you in a pinch! And enjoy those 4 hour shopping days at the mall, they will soon be numbered!
Thanks for the well wishes for the I71-H! We were the only people at the USCIS office today so I'm hoping that means it's a slow time and they can be speedy! Best wishes on the referral! It sounds like your process has been pretty fast thus far...how exciting!
