A nice weekend

Saturday I went to the Ten Thousand Villages 20% bag sale. If you don't know about Ten Thousand Villages it is a non-profit store run almost entirely by volunteers. They promote free trade by selling goods produced by artisans in developing states. Cathie and I spent an hour and a half in there in Saturday just looking at everything. Some of it is too kitchy and not my style, but there are a lot of really unique gift and home decor items.

I went straight from Ten Thousand Villages to Pier 1 where I received my "associates appreciation gift". Anyone that started working at the store before September 1st got $50 to spend in store. So that's fun. I have my eyes on some stuff I want to buy once it goes on sale. Sale price+discount+free money= happy Meagan.

Chris pretty much studied all weekend. He has a test Tuesday and then he's done for the week. Yay.

We're staying in Houston for the holiday and I have to say that I'm glad. With everything we have going on I feel stressed as it is and adding in a long drive to see more family members would be excess stress.

Hopefully, I'll start baking tonight after I get home from choir. I found a recipe for iced pumpkin cookies I want to try.
