Yesterday, Marcel decided to take the evening off work so we could take an impromptu trip to the city via the train. Generally- when traveling to the city we always take the train because we don’t have to worry about finding a parking space, plus we don’t have to pay the outrageous parking garage prices that the city charges. I love it, because it means no traffic, no wasting gas (and you know what the gas prices are like these days) and it’s fun! (You can tell I didn’t grow up in a city or a place where train travel was the norm- because it is an adventure to me as opposed as a mode of transportation.)
I have been trying out new iPhone Photo Apps (as part of my 101 in 1001 day project- and also because it inspires creativity) and I took this one with the Instagram App. I’ve been using it quite a bit lately and like the black and white results with people- namely Marcel.
Our shopping trip was a success- (meaning we bought what we set out to get- a pair of shoes that were on sale, for Marcel). We even saved more moolah than the original sale price with a few promotions the store had going on- which ultimately paid for our train tickets.
I did find a Burberry bag that I was practically drooling over, and probably would have been tempted to buy- but after all- I do want a new couch this year, and a few other things so I refrained- for now. Looks like maybe I should start working a little more so I can indulge in this little lavish gift for myself. Patience is a virtue- or so they say.
