The Damage

By -
Today I attended the Lululemon Warehouse Sale in Chicago! It's actually the first one that they have had in the US, so it felt pretty cool that they decided to have it here.

I went with a few friends and we waited over an hour to get it. I was specifically looking for astro yoga pants, and I found them! Good thing I liked the color, because it was the only one I could find in my size.
Here's the damage! Kinda cool how it all matches.
So.. I'm not normally a huge shopper. I just really really love lululemon clothes. And I already wanted my astro pants. Retail price for those babies are $98.. I got them for $55! Also some capris, running shorts, and two shirts. That pink shirt almost got taken from me.. the "dressing rooms" were basically one big room for girls and one big room for guys. I noticed this girl watching me try it on and I was a little suspicious that she wanted it. After all, I did grab the last one on the rack. Then when I was putting my original shirt back on, she tried to take it from my pile on the floor! I had to be like "excuse me, I'm going to buy that." She just awkwardly was like "oh I thought you were done with it. " Nope. Obviously not.

One thing I will say.. I know people hate it when skinny people complain about being skinny, but there was definitely not a lot of the smaller sizes there. It would have been a much better sale if I was a bigger size. Oh well. I am still happy with what I got.

I got to talk to my hubby this morning on the way there, and we decided on a budget. And I was actually $7 under it!  Well.. kinda. It actually went over with tax a little bit. But I don't think he'll be too mad at me when he sees how cute I look in everything. :) And like a said before.. I'm not big a shopper normally. And this is basically what separation pay is for. Shopping and ice cream.

And yes, I'm sleeping in my new astro yoga pants tonight.

    Cute clothes! I don't have much clothing from lululemon because of the price, but I will say that their stuff is worth it. Now I have a hankering to hit up the mall!*

Communication During Ranger School: A Recap

Update October 5, 2017: It's been 6 years and I still get a ton of hits on this post. This post will still give you a good overview. As I understand it, this information is still up to date, with the exception that they can no longer receive food in care packages except one at the completion of phase 3. For the most up-to-date info, join this facebook group. https://www.facebook.com/groups/rangersupport/ So since this was something that I googled a lot over, I thought I would write a post on my own experience of all my communication with my husband during Ranger School. Letters: It took about 5 days for each of my letters to get from James to me, once they were sent out (and sometimes it would take 3 or 4 days for them to be sent out). Now.. I live all the way in Chicago area, so that's why it took so long. A friend of mine that I met on twitter while our men were both are Ranger School, Lindsey , got hers in about 3 days, but she lives in Tennessee. The first letter I g...

Ranger Care Package & Florida Update

I got a letter last night! The bad news is that he said his chances of recycling were pretty high. He said that he heard rumors that his company had the harshest graders and they also said that they would grade officers harder than the enlisted guys. Great. So I'm praying hard. If he recycles, it pushes back graduation almost a month. He did include a food wish list! He said he was craving baked goods after all of the processed MREs. Ranger students can receive care packages at the end of each phase. Otherwise, they aren't allowed to be sent food, except for non-caffeinated gum. I've been putting gum sticks in each of his letters. He'll be able to bring the food and magazines I send him on the 4 hour bus ride back to Fort Benning after Phase 3. His wishlist included: Cake Mix Cookies Trail Mix Puppy Chow (yes, he underlined this one) Cheese-its Beefy Jerky Pepperoni Slices Peanut M&Ms Magazines (like Runner's World and Outdoor) So last night I ha...

MilSO Care Package: Deployment Survival Kit

Yep, you read that right. A care package for MilSOs. I decided that MilSOs (Military Significant Others) should get care packages sometimes too. I got the idea from this really cute Deployment Survival Kit that I found on Pinterest by Scraptastic Voyage. I stole most of the ideas from there, so be sure to check out hers too. I have two girlfriends whose men are about to go through deployments, so I made one for each of them. I took pictures of all the things that I included. MilSO Care Package/ Deployment Survival Kit  For the nights that it's hard to fall asleep: For late nights and early mornings on Skype: To wipe away the tears (of sadness by also of joy when he comes home!) A Bible for courage and strength: Mounds: To remind you of the "mounds" of support you have from family and friends. Laffy Taffy: For remembering to laugh. Lifesavers: To remind you that you're his lifesaver. Marbles (for when you've lost yours): Anti-stres...
