It might be hard to pay attention to what I'm typing, as I'm watching reruns of Nip/Tuck on this lovely Sunday evening. It was a fun filled weekend.
Friday
Work was unusually long yesterday and today. We've had a ton of consults, mostly from the short stay patients (the people who are too sick for the ER but not sick enough to be admitted to the hospital) and from Dr. Colleti's service. After finishing, Kayla came up from Friendswood, and we had dinner at Mo Mong. This time we had a chicken/mushroom crepe appetizer then Kayla had tofu (again), and I had the garlic shrimp luc lac. We were very stuffed after eating but very pleased of course. Then we went home to wait for Carolyn, Laura, and Parris. The arrived early and took off to party. Kayla and I stayed home and played with the dog. It was fun.
Saturday
I got up and watched TV all morning with Ryan. Then I went to Kayla's in the afternoon for some hard core shopping. We started at Marshall's where I purchased some pretty cool stuff. Marshall's has to be the coolest place on Earth. I will reproduce the receipt and MSRP here:
Studio Chereskin Button Down Shirt $14.99 MSRP $85.00
DKNY Button Down Shirt $29.99 MSRP $125.00
Alex Cannon Polo $24.99 MSRP $49.50
Alex Cannon Polo $24.99 MSRP $49.50
Ralph Lauren Polo $24.99 MSRP $49.50
Allen Solly Undershirts $9.99 MSRP $19.99
Allen Solly Undershirts $9.99 MSRP $19.99
Jones New York Tie $10.99 MSRP $32.50
Jones New York Tie $10.99 MSRP $32.50
Total Savings $290
Then it was straight to DSW (a shoe warehouse) for some shoe shopping. I've been looking for another pair of hospital clogs for several months now (since I was at Baylor Dallas and one of the residents had a kick ass pair of them). The bad thing about going to DSW was that it was 8:50 and they closed in 10 minutes. So we walked in, and I went straight to the slip-on isle. I couldn't find anything when they called the 5-minute warning. So I walked over to the clearance isle and low and behold there were a pair of black leather Cole Haan clogs with Nike Air soles. These shoes are $155.00 at Nordstrom. At DSW they sell for $89.90. Since they were on the clearance rack, I got 40% off. It was closing time, so I brought them to the check-out line. I noticed a few tiny little scuff marks (on each shoe) so I asked if there was a further discount. (I figured hey what the hell, maybe I'll get an extra 10% off.) Well, the manager decided I could have 70% off with no returns. So I paid 29.20 (with tax) for a $155.00 pair of shoes. SWEET! Kayla was pissed that I got the deal of the day, especially since her shoes were $70 a pair so she decided not to get them. Now I know why it's so much fun to shop, especially when you're a BARGAIN SHOPPER!
Sunday
We didn't do very much today. Breakfast was at IHOP. I had the sampler which was good except for the hair in my hashed browns. Kayla had German pancakes (wait 'till she has Mom's German pancakes), and Krista had chocolate chip pancakes. Then we went home and did nothing. Finally Kayla and I ran more errands. Two of the polo shirts from Marshall's were a bit too small so we took them back. I got $54.10 back, so that needed to be spent. We decided on Old Navy, because they have the boxer briefs I like. I was fully prepared to just get some underwear and go home. However it didn't turn out that way, because everything was on sale there. Plus everything at Old Navy is already cheaper than Marshall's so we were in for some fun. Here is the receipt from Old Navy (keeping in mind I had $54.10 to spend):
Loose Jeans $24.50 Regular $29.50
Beerpong Shirt $6.00 Regular $10.50
Cobra Club Long Sleeve $3.97 Regular $16.50
I Cut the Cheese in WI Shirt $6.00 Regular $10.50
Longhorn Larry's Meat Palace Long Sleeve $3.97 Regular $14.50
Safari Bowl (like with pins) Long Sleeve $3.97 Regular $16.50
Voodoo Lodge Shirt $6.00 Regular $10.50
Surfer Guy Shirt $2.49 Regular $10.50
Guadalupe Marlins Baseball Sleeve $3.97 Regular $16.50
Cool Brown Sweater $10.00 Regular $16.50
Boxer Briefs $5.00 Regular $7.50
Boxer Briefs $5.00 Regular $7.50
Total Savings $85.50
So I paid more for boxer briefs than I did for all of my t-shirts. That's kinda cool. So I got 12 items of clothing from Old Navy for a total of $87.50. That's kinda too, even though I realize Old Navy isn't all that great. However, the cotton is just as soft as cotton from a department store, and I got some cool stuff (especially the jeans). So I'm very pleased. Then we got some fresh fish out of Kayla's mom's freezer in preparation for the China dinner on Tuesday. Then we went to Houston, got Freebirds, and watched Nip/Tuck on FX as I already mentioned. It was a very satisfying weekend.

Shelley and I just finished the pilot of Nip/Tuck on DVD at your recommendation. It was most excellent -- I have a feeling we're going to be up most of the night watching...
Yes indeed, you will find that Nip/Tuck is the most depressing show on earth, because more fucked up shit happens to the main characters than on any other show. However, you can't stop watching.
We were in fact up until 4:00 last night getting through disc 3...
