9.9 - Nice Outfit - GOMI

Shirt: Kohl's (Juniors. They had a similar one but not as soft in the Women's section)
Pants: VS
Shoes: Macy's
Necklace: Kohl's

I was extremely proud of this outfit. I didn't go with black pants but with gray... Yay #1.  Then I didn't go with black shoes and went with purple ones... Yay #2.  The color of the shoes was more similar to the shirt but they seem to photograph differently. I found the shirt on Kohl's website to see how they tied the belt. I just copied.
I was all happy until around 10am when I realized a website complaining about my blog was the sending tons of hits to it.

I was 100% addicted to reading all of the comments. It took up a good portion of my work day. So many comments for just one post. I couldn't believe it. It was a big waste to my work day. There was no need to have to read them all or reply to some but I just couldn't help it.  I also had to tell a lot of my friends about it. I'm not sure if most people would advertise what people say complaining about their blog but I guess I'm not most people.  I even told some friends and learned they already found out about it through the grape vine. Now I'm posting about it on here. Oh boy.  One of the blogs mentioned above wrote a rebuttal post but then deleted it. She bashed each and every person who left a negative comment about her. That is the craziest reaction I ever heard of.   Do you check your blog stats to know if anyone ever links to your blog?  Have you ever been linked to because people disliked your blog? My husband said that if he had a blog that was mentioned on a site like GOMI, that he would quit blogging. Throughout the day as I told people about GOMI linking to me, almost everyone asked what Dave thought of it.  I was shocked at how much

Well after reading all the comments, I was second guessing if I liked my outfit or not. :(
Poly slept in my leg nest and I just had to sleep in a bit because of it.
On my way home from work I picked up Pizza Hut and I ate my entire personal pan pizza while stuck in traffic.  There was construction and tons of cars were stopped for a long period of time and I really wished I knew about it.  Oh to top it off, I passed up Pizza Hut so had to sit in some traffic first then turn around, get the pizza, and do it all over again.

9.5

I woke up with the intention of running but I checked the radar and it wasn't looking good for running if I didn't want to run in the rain.  So I putzed around and over an hour later still no rain! Boy was I mad. Then I used the exercise bike for 50 minutes, did abs and stretching and then used the bike again. My total workout was 1:27. Too bad I didn't go for an additional 3 minutes to make it an even 90 minutes!  Poly rested on the bed the first time I was on the bike, but once I started doing abs, she was all up in my grill. She likes to go under my torso when I'm doing planks. 
Then I went outside to do some yard work and just as I stepped outside, it started raining. Well I put some mulch down anyway.   I figured I was all sweaty from using the exercise bike so then the rain would be alright.  Then I showered.
Then it was lunch time and short TV time with Dave. I fell asleep through the last 5 minutes of Kitchen Nightmares UK (on Netflix).  Just when it was over, Jen and I were texting about going shopping. She was already at Kohl's. I better put on makeup and hurry to get there but Poly had come to my lap just as I was waking up from my nap and boy was she cute so it took me a few minutes to finally make her get off of me. 
At Kohl's, I found 1 shirt and Jen found 3 shirts and 1 pair of pants.
Then we went to the mall. After 3 hours at the mall, I only found 2 more shirts and they were the same shirt in different colors.  It was very disappointing. I tried so hard. I wish I found more things.  I haven't been shopping in months so I thought I'd see more things I liked.  I tried really hard to buy patterns but failed. Why are patterns just so ugly? Or why are the clothes in the nice patterns always out of my size? 

1st and 2nd shirt: NY&Co. Originally 26.95 - 40% off. Paid $16.17
3rd: Kohl's. Originally 48. 35% off then 15% off - Paid $26.52
Total spending: $58.86

I need to figure the belt out. I couldn't tie it at the store because it had a tie through it so that the belt wouldn't end up missing.

After the mall, I tried to get dinner. I got to Panera at 7:05 and they closed at 7. Then I went to Arby's and they were closed.  So I just went home and we made a frozen pizza.  We watched a little TV, then I watched TV.  Now I'm all caught up on Big Brother. I watched the episodes from when I was in Colorado even though I already saw what happened next since I've been back for awhile.
