What's Wrong With This Picture?

We went to a fancy fund raising event this past weekend where we noticed something that was just a bit off. Do you see it?



In case you didn't see it, here's a more closeup shot. I really don't know how this gentleman didn't feel it when he was tucking in his shirt. That's something I'm pretty sure I wouldn't miss. Or perhaps he is just proud that he has a new pair of shorts?



And here we are with one of the celebrity guests in attendance - Kinky Friedman! Oh, and there's nothing wrong with this one, I just thought I'd add it in for fun.

A Sock Monkey for Zoey

I had to run in the Walgreen's to pick something up the other day. As I walked across the front of the store, this fantastic little dog bed caught my eye. It was a sock monkey! Not that we had particularly been looking for a sock monkey bed for her, or any new bed for that matter, but it was too cute not to investigate. I spent a good couple of minutes checking out the sock monkey bed. It was only $13 (cleverly disguised as $12.99), but I just couldn't decide whether she needed it or not. After a couple of minutes I went on my way and left the sock monkey bed.

By the time I got in the car, I was already regretting my decision to leave without the precious little monkey bed. Had I made a mistake? When I got home and saw our poor neglected little Zoey I knew I was going to have to go back and fetch her a new bed. Never mind the bed she already had, complete with three blankets of her own, and her special big fluffy pillow that I made for her. They're not enough! So I returned to the Walgreen's for a special sock monkey for our pampered puppy.

How can you say no to this face?



Zoey loves her new bed!



She napped in it all day after I brought it home.



Of course, now I am going to have to get her a blanket that matches her new bed.

I Should Never be Allowed to go to the Outlet Mall Unattended...

You see, the outlet mall has bargains, and I am a big fan of bargains. My husband had asked me to get him a black tie to wear to an event this weekend, so I figured I would head up to the Van Heusen outlet. That's my favorite place to shop for his dress clothes. They always have good deals. I also needed a pair of shoes to wear to the same event and I planned to hit the Rack Room Shoes while I was up there to find some. A black tie and a pair of shoes. Easy, right?

So I started out at the Van Heusen, where they not only had a black tie for Hubby, but also two dress shirts and a cute shirt for me. After I left the Van Heusen I noticed that the Haggar outlet had up to 75% off, so I thought I better check that out. Interestingly enough they had a polo shirt and shorts that my husband needed. He didn't know he needed them, but he did. The Gap Outlet was next. I can't go to the outlet mall without stopping there, and Hubby had mentioned that he might like a new pair of jeans... They didn't have any good deals on jeans, but they had some really cute shirts for me on clearance that I couldn't pass up. Once I finally made it to the Rack Room, I saw that they had buy one pair get one half off. Danger! So we each got a pair of shoes out of the deal. So on my trip to the outlet mall for a tie and a pair of shoes, I ended up buying a tie, 8 shirts, a pair of shorts and 2 pairs of shoes. And here are a few of the deals that were too good to pass up.

I found these shorts on the clearance rack at the Haggar outlet:



They were 50% off the lowest ticketed price, so they ended up being $7.48



Really cute shirts from the Gap outlet
