oh the boy was no fun. didn't want to do anything. personally, i wanted to head actually over the bridge of lions and onto the beach section of st. augustine, but oh, well, maybe another day.

instead i made my way to the outskirts of st. augustine, to one of the two huge outlet malls. one outlet mall each sits on either side of the I-95, so if you're even down st. augustine way, now you know.

i went to the one on my side of I-95, 85 stores. i was thinking on the way there that it seemed kind of a shame to spend such a nice day inside at an outlet mall. the one in charlotte (concord mills, next to the I-85, if you're ever over that way) is nice and big and has lots of cool things inside, including a fye (for your entertainment) with cds, movies and games, and a books-a-million. i was hoping the one here would have that.

as it turns out, i didn't have to worry about being cooped up inside a mall, as the one here was a giant strip mall. no music or bookstore, but every other usually high priced store you can think of including a brooks brothers, hilfiger just to name a couple...and honestly, when you walk into a store and plain three-quarter length sleeved fitted t-shirt is outletted for $25...uh, yeah, that would be a NO. bahama thomas's (i think) is smoking some serious crack, crack-cocaine, m'k. i'm a cheap-ass bitch, and $50 on sale for a simple peasant skirt is idiotic.

however, i did find a good sale at van heusen (never heard of it) and so got yet another pair of capri pants and a little baby-doll tee.

and i found a bra. yeah, alert the media. i know. i hate to bra shop but i've needed another for awhile...funny too, cause i walk into the maidenform place and somehow walk right up to the exact model of bra i'm wearing. luckily, i had looked at my size before dressing this morning, so i just plucked and ran. it will be fine for awhile, but i tell you, if it gets as hot here as i suspect it might, mama's gonna need a thinner, barely there model (you big boobied girls know what i'm talking about)

then, i had climbed back in my car, only seeing less than half of what the mall had to offer, but on my way out of the lot, bam! outlet perfume.

you know, it's been so long since i've owned a bottle of perfume. the last i had i got at least four years ago for christmas from ibrihama. so i splurged on a small bottle of cool water for women...yessir.

and ya know...it's been so long since i've really had new clothes. so i've been buying a few new things here and there, mostly warm weather florida clothes, trying to stock up a little while i still have a little extra money. and now, with my cute little new capri pants and the sweet little tee, i can go get my floppy hat i've been eyeing at target.

ooooohhhhh, ya'll can see it now, can't ya? me, in my capri pants and floppy hat peddling my purple mountain bike down the road to the beach? yeah, baby!

heh...heh...
