We dealt with the SPIDERS...what will it be this year?

[Queenofallthings]

Thinking about it everyday but I'm stuck on the title.

Hmmm...well you have the weekend to come up with one and start

for a shopping trip to Fargo. I love Super Target...it is a favorite of mine. Nicki and I shop at the Dress Barn at the outlet mall every time I go to Marco Island (and each year I've come home with a really pretty top).

I'm so excited I can hardly wait! I do like the Dress Barn and have lucked in a couple of times for tops! I will save that for a day trip with my BFF though...not much in there for Jas

No worries- I'm terrified of the ocean too- I don't go above my kneecaps, which is why I like Clearwater because you can actually see the ocean floor at that point and know if you're going to step on anything ...anywho, the atmosphere is gorgeous even without going in so it's worth a try if you ever get the gumption!

Yes, the movie is worth it for PW~he is beautiful

Can't wait to hear about your shopping!!

Carla

Sounds like it would be wonderful....I have also started our shopping list so I will do a post this weekend and share

So are you going to go to Sheal's and the Hobby Lobby while in Fargo?
Sheal's has the ferris wheel in the middle of the store!! lots of fun!

Be sure to stop in at Happy Harry's to get some "alcohol infused whipped cream"!!
I brought home chocolate flavored and Chloe brought home Caramel!!

We had fun while we were there during spring break and hopefully the hi-ways
will be fine for you by then.!!

My feeling is that if you can't get there because of the hi way you could always find a hotel out by the Kenaston power centre and spend a night and shop around there because it feels like you're out of town!!

Looks like the weather will be good this weekend!! Keep your fingers and toes crossed!!

Debbie

Schell's is a must for us....I actually buy my shoes for work there.....Sofft is the line and they are from Europe and I love them

If the highway is still closed we're going to leave earlier and just take the detour...I am having "shopping in the states" withdrawal...I must get there

We haven't decided yet if we're staying one of two nights yet...if we stay two I'll definitely be hitting up HH's....I love their pre-made margaritas in the bottle.....

Have a great weekend!!

That shopping trip sounds like so much fun!! I can't believe the claims tax, though. Crazy!
Forever 21 is great for cheap clothes-- their $4.50 leggings are my favorite (They do tend to rip after awhile, but for $4.50, I'll make them last a year!). I agree-- Kohl's has not been great lately :-\.

Queen, not sure how much I'll be on this weekend, so I wanted to wish you a very Happy Mother's Day.

I found out the hard way about the duty they charge on footwear the hard way....my BFF and I went for a day trip and lucked in on shoes so we bought 4 pairs each. That's when the custom's agent told us if we didn't spend 48 hours there it's 28% He was a doll though and said he'd let it go that one time

I will definitely tell Jasmine about those leggings....I think those are her favorite articles of clothing

Queen, not sure how much I'll be on this weekend, so I wanted to wish you a very Happy Mother's Day.

Awww...thanks so much Kathy I have been thinking of you guys and your sweet little Cookie....I wish you a relaxing and quiet Mother's Day....enjoy my friend

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!



Love the quick trips to Grand Forks/Fargo. About two weeks ago I zipped down to Grand Forks (took about an extra 40 minutes with the US detour) and picked up one item then zipped right back up. Even with Duty and gas I still saved about $350. Oh, and for those still wondering...

Two days ago it was 72F, this morning it's 23F. By Tuesday it's supposed to be 64F... 'cmon Tuesday!

I have to know what you bought!! PLEASE...

Jackie, I hope the weather is beginning to warm for you! You can always check out kohls' website to see what you might want. I find that they have the same stuff in the store as on the website. I adore (as you know) shopping at Target. Their website is nothing like the store!

Have you shopped in Ann Taylor Loft before? I don't know if they have them in Canada or in ND, but it's another of my favorite stores. You and Jasmine both might like items there!

Happy Mother's Day Queen! (You celebrate Mom's Day up there in Canada, right?)
I love my DS to pieces but boy, sometimes I wish I had a girl to shop with! He hates shopping unless it's for a new guitar, electronics or video games... Boys.

 

[JMat]

Happy Mothers Day! I hope you get to spend some great time with Jasmine today and it doesnt snow!

Much Love, xxoo!

The weather is definitely warmer but gloomy, but hey, we'll take what we can get! Thanks for the info, I'll check on the site before we leave...Jasmine still wants to stop in because she really lucked in last time at Kohl's I was so happy to hear Jasmine telling one of her friends that she can't wait to get to Target.....

I have never heard of Ann Taylor Loft but I will google and see if there is a store in Fargo! I'll keep you posted!

The link is in my signature; I hope you join us.

Already posted on it...wouldn't miss it!

Happy Mother's Day I can understand that...the older Jasmine got the better it got, especially now, we just enjoy being with each other! We actually had a great day shopping yesterday....but I will post later and tell you all about it!!

Happy Mothers Day! I hope you get to spend some great time with Jasmine today and it doesnt snow!

Much Love, xxoo!

Hey my girl Thank you so much! Jasmine has today off and I am so excited to spend the entire day with her (we will stop in and visit with my mom a little later on) but I have her all to myself all day! No snow....just rain Maybe it will clear up though

Love to you and enjoy your day with your wonderful mom

Happy Mother's Day!! Hope you and Jasmine have a great day togetherxx

Thank you so much Tanz! Can't wait to spend the day with my girl...she's still sleeping so breakfast in bed for me is out I guess

Happy Mother's Day!

Thank you

Happy Mother's Day!

Thank you my friend....and the same to you...I hope you have a most wonderful day!

Okay! Okay! You win. We recently moved and this spring/summer I have to build a fence and a deck. I knew (from previous experience... don't ask) that I needed a better saw. I checked Winnipeg's Home Depot and found a good saw for $600 and a really good one for $800. I checked Lowe's in Grand Forks and they had the $800 saw for $600.

But wait, you cry. You said you saved $350 and that's only $200. True. But... I also would have had to buy a table support for the saw as well. At Winnipeg Home Depot the table was $230... at Lowe's it was free with the purchase of the saw... So instead of spending $1030 or even $830 for a not quite as good saw; I got the better saw and table for $600. Or a saving of $430. Factor in the duty and gas and it was about $350 saved on the purchase of one item. Ta dah!

Now aren't you sorry you asked?

Happy Mother's Day Debbie! I hope you got to Birds Hill yesterday...I had planned to go for my evening 3 mile walk when the skies opened .... the thunder and lightning didn't help....

Not sorry at all...that's fantastic!! I love Menards and try and get there every trip but it doesn't always happen...I usually have to leave Jasmine at the hotel because she likes Menards about as much as a trip to the dentist

I don't have any big items to purchase this trip...but you never know what a girl will find.....

Hope that you had a wonderful mothers day

 

[hollisterluva92]

Hope you had an amazing mother's day! I spent it with my Grandma and we sat on the porch drinking mojito's and playing canasta!

Hope you had an amazing mother's day! I spent it with my Grandma and we sat on the porch drinking mojito's and playing canasta!

That sounds wonderful! Mine was full of errands and running around...but it was still nice

 

[onescgirl]

That sounds like my kind of shopping!

 

[PISCESANGEL]

Hoping we hear from you tonight... if not, I'll catch you next week! I'm not leaving until Wednesday morning but tomorrow is going to be CRAZY busy so I don't think I'll get a chance to DIS. If I don't talk with you later I hope you have a good week and I'll be talking with you again next week I'm sure!
