Ross
I do have to say, Ross has neat clothes for cheap. The dressing room attendants were friendly too.

I got 7 shirts a skirt and 2 pants. I also peeked at their dresses ( but its difficult to find an adult looking dress that fits, in short notice when your only 4'10) and their handbags (thought some were very unique and keen to my eye, i said no! i have a purse, and im sticking with it!) Their shoe rack only held shoes up to size 5, and there were 1 pair of crocs that i didn't even bother touching in that section.

jacq what did you find?
riddlefish Yesss. Ross and TJ Maxx are amazing. :D
Moody Gardens
When in Galveston, try this place out, but only if you have a whole day committed to it. Its too expensive to see just one or 2 things for a couple hours. My family and I (party of 6) did 6 things within 5 hours at $36 a ticket. I liked the aquarium, but it seems as though they've gone over board with 3D movie entertainment. ( saw a 3D showing of Waves in Tahiti, a 3D 2 minute movie ride, and a " 4D " showing of happy feet)

The 3D Tahiti movie was neat. The 3D movie ride was slightly too loud, and probably not worth the stand alone ticket itself but worked well with our all day pass. and the 4D movie was like the ride, but instead of the chairs moving, there were things in the chair that moved. and you also got slightly wet.

There was also a paddle wheel boat ( very boring for small children and teens) and it seems they need more people working on it, because the gift shop on board was only open for 15 minutes each way ( out to sea, back into sea which was an hour ride), At the time, the paddle wheel was not running because they had just painted it. ( its not a real paddle wheel boat, the paddle wheel just goes around for show)

We spent most of our time at the aquarium, They had lots of different penny stamping, and kids got to do this shark stamping activity, where they went to all of the stations and collected stamps. They had some really neat starfish, and sharks, and they had mini - discovery movies on the walls every where.

Over all, I had fun and got to spend the day doing stuff with my family. I'd like to come once the Rain-forest pyramid is open and even go during summer because they have a new water park too.

Bath & Body Works
I had a coupon for buy $10 and get a free signature something or another. So I got wall flower refills ( tropical scents) and body butter (in the new carried away scent). The body butter, I was told, was reformulated to last 24 hours.

laceyosburn I haven't yet tried it. It could very well, but I'm trying to use up my huge cocoa butter tub, I'll check back and update when I have tried it. :)
riddlefish I love the wall flowers! I'm a huge fan of the Warm Vanilla Sugar scent--have you smelled it? :D
Albertsons
A book, some bath bubbles, and dividers for organizing my financial history mess. Albertsons is closer then wal-mart, also it seems their store attracts older locals, rather then the crazy annoying loons that wal-mart brings in.

Car Spa
Car Spa is a neat place. This was the first time I had gone to CarSpa. They had a lot of people lined up when I arrived but there was someone going car to car to explain the hold up (issue with the conveyor belts). It only took 10 minutes until I was rolling through the wash. I liked how my car turned out and I know that their rain x system works because today the rain is beading on my car, instead of sitting in puddles and making a huge mess of water spots.

A'gaci
I've fallen in love with A'gaci clothes. They've got really trendy shirts. I got 6. Their accessories are really cute! I got 2 rings and a hat. They had some ladies around the store helping people, but when I got to the counter I was promptly asked if I had been helped today and I told them no because it seemed every one was tied up while I was at the clearance rack. But, at least I know if I need something later I can probably get someone to help me because it seems they're customer oriented and not sales oriented. (or my location seems to be)

T-Mobile
This is my T-mobile monthly payment. This month it was not automated because I had my card # stolen (fraud) and Canceled. I'll tell you the story I went through to get this payment to finally go through, but it's just too long and boring. Moral: Account information is really important to remember.

E.L.F
I found out that Target has ELF products. I got a eyeshadow brush, a lipstick and a bronzer. :) I love the lipstick, never tried bronzer, thought i'd try it out on my vacation, and I think the eyeshadow brush is a win, perfect shape and really soft!

Anna's Linens
I bought a queen sized comforter set ( for my big bed in storage ) in Zebra pattern. Ive never seen queen size anything for less then $30. I had to have it right then and there!!

saunieindiego I bought some towels there, and they ended up unraveling at the end seam. I was disappointed. I hope your comforter set is better quality.
laceyosburn I won't know until I get my bed out of storage, for now the comforter sits in a bag. :) Thanks for the tip, I'll keep a look out and be gentle!
Game Chop
This is strange. This store is mostly tiny, and on the outside it has a sign that says Game Stop. But inside, its Game Chop. mostly used games. refurbished stuff.

Oreilly Auto
I bought my 16 year old Nephew the Rain X windshield wipers for his new car. An 04 Chevy Cavalier. O'reilly was really helpful in figuring out what I needed as far as sizes go. I just told them what the car was and the year and they said you need a ... and a ... quick and easy.

Target
The Sims 3 Fast Lane stuff ( not worth the $ but I'm addicted and a loyal customer) and a mini flower pot to grow strawberries. I suggest getting the flower pot as a girl-to-girl valentine.

Bath & Body Works
I'm subscribed to the B&BW Text club, and Monday night I got the text letting me know they have a new collection of scents out == Island Escape == I got super super excited because in February I'm going on vacation to Galveston Beach! So I went in Tuesday and grabbed an array of amazing tropical scents! I went crazy. 2 scents to die for currently: Forever Sunshine and Sparkling Mojito.

saunieindiego Do the texts give you discounts, or is it just basically advertising?
laceyosburn Sometimes they'll offer a % off. Other times its just an announcement. Its just a text once a month, its not like they're constantly spamming you. and you have the option to opt out whenever you want by responding stop to a text. It feels like glancing at an ad in a news paper, instead of being constantly bothered by the same commercial 30 times within an hour.
drpepper234 Forever Sunshine isnt that their older one? I have to try out their new ones.

Cheap Gas. I'm doing really good about not stopping in and getting a snack or drink!

This past weekend I bought a few things for 3 birthday gifts. A box of Sham wow's, $25 gift card, and wrapping paper/bags. All gifts were given, all birthday people were happy :) Gotta love the convenience of CVS!

Insurance Co-Pay. Just a somewhat useless visit to the doctor. Now I know I have a slight bit of tendinitis, and a solution to my allergy problem.
