It's a Bright Sunshiny Day

Last night (see previous post), I received a phone call from a Mystery Shopping company in desperate need. I do these on occasion, but because I know I am one of their only shoppers in this area I get a lot of calls and requests to do more. This can work in my favor because if a shop get ignored for several months, the price paid to shop it goes up significantly. So they called to ask me if I would mind driving to a fast food place in a neighboring town (15 miles away) to eat breakfast and report for $40. Well that is a great price so I headed there today, to dine at the dreaded fast food place (I do sincerely dislike most fast food) and make some easy money.

After eating I stopped at my favorite boutique to "pretend" to shop for clothes, but because it is always out of my budget, I am really going to hope for an incredible deal off the sales rack. I enter in to a group of sales people who are all unpacking winter wardrobe and trying to find rack space for all the new clothes they just got in. One of the sales women came up to me and said "We are offering you a deal. Anything you want on our final sales summer rack is yours for $5 a piece."

After I picked my jaw off of the floor, I went right to scrounging. Some of these pieces are stunning, and new cost up to $150 an item. I am trying so hard not to burst into tears of joy and break into song, because of course I don't want to look like a complete idiot. So rejoice with me all you wonderful readers, because today has been a GREAT day, and boy will I look fabulous next summer in my new wardrobe.

Anyone else having a great day?
