I hate finals week. I have exams to prepare and my own papers to write, but all I'm doing is shopping, Facebooking, and SDing because I'm so damn distractable. BF is going to wonder where the influx of deliveries is coming from in the next couple weeks... (although I did just buy him a fancy hockey jersey--discounted--so he can't really complain.)

I do this too. You would think we'd have learned not to procrastinate by now.

I will ultimately wait until the night before to study for finals. Then I wind up pulling an all-nighter and by morning, my face feels numb.

i don't think the tier works for clearance. it's just your nonclearance is $40 so it took $15 off of that, not on your clearance. for your returns, if i am understanding you, the sandals will get you refund of (price - $15), and the sweater will give you (price x 0.5). once you receive the invoice, all promos are already distributed to the individual items, and the refund will be exactly what it says as the price you paid for it. in the store receipt, they tell you the refund amount.

i don't have sweater.

i can not say anything about the sizing. i'm really a 5.5 so i just always order the 6 since it's their smallest. they always have room.

you get negative points for returns. i'm not sure how they'll do it with promo. i'm afraid they'll take back the 1000 if you return one thing, or let you keep it if you kept at least one item.

You are the Express guru.

Ok...leaving for the mall now. Guess which store I'm going to first

cramming for the exam is not good

i say that now, but you know what i did when i was the student.

i know!

also, you don't have to wait for the invoice to see the actual price you paid for the individual items. ship confirmations have them. order confirmation email and order status on the website don't show them.

I don't like Express very much. I did stop at the mall last night and all I bought was a clearance shirt for $14. I used to love Express about 10 years ago. But since I try to buy clothes that I can wear to the office, I shop more at the Limited now.

I hate crazy parents at kids sporting events : annoyed:!

I have all 3 colors! It's so cute!

Before my health got so bad, I used to coach & ref youth basketball. The kids were a delight. Some of the parents were insane though. Why don't they realize how their actions affect their kids? The parents with the worst attitude always have the kids with the worst sportsmanship.

And it gets more expensive the older they get, trust me! : D

No kidding!

I can't wait until we get our DS through college. We may actually have a little extra money.

BOGO half mix-and-match again!

Thanks. Now, I really want that ivory top & shorts. Tizzy said that top didn't look right on her though.

Quote from PordaPoddy

:

Yep. It's a bridge she'll wish she hadn't burned. Right now I'm going to pretend the sister has joined the PeaceCorps and ships out the week before the wedding because that's just too big of an oversight for it to not be intentional. My theory is that it's a tit-for-tat. Her brother is not in it, so his sister can't be. :facepalm1 :
I feel like I can be more frank with her b/c I don't have much to lose... she's only a friend by association :dontknow : and : lol: I like those shoes and I wouldn't want any studs to come off!

That's probably it. If he didn't ask her brother, they're probably burning bridges together. I'm sure her mom wasn't happy about that either. Before long, they're going to be alone on a deserted island. They may end up needing that bridge someday.

Quote from IceyNiki

:

Yes! Exactly! I will not say I had given up hope (and it is still early for nuSO and I), but I was not taking active steps to find a guy. So it is a bit ovrwhelming. My friends (in person and you all) have been very supportive, and I am grateful. I am also grateful that we have this thread..that we can talk abou more than VS. I did not get involved in people's personal stories when I started on SD. It is funny the connection we have and a lot of us have never met.

I agree. Everyone here is great. I tell you all a lot more than I tell anyone else. Everyone seems to genuinely care about each other, w/o being judgmental.

Quote from IceyNiki

:

Oh no! We don't like her. You are better than me. I would have told her and her sister a few things by now and dropped out of the wedding completely. I would not expend too much energy on this if I were you.

Sidenote: I am mobile...and my car broke down again. nuSO stayed on the phone with me until the tow truck arrived. He thinks I will be getting a new car. We shall see.

Aw... he sounds like a keeper.

Instyle - free shipping on $50 clothing purchase

Thanks

Quote from leftie

:

I just noticed that Express puts (at least) two different promos on their website.

On my desktop, the highest tiered discount is $50 off $150; but on my laptop, the highest tiered is $60 off $150 (code: 1304). Things like this irk me about stores! : mad:

Stuff like that really annoys me too. I hate the way some companies send targeted emails too (cough*VS*cough). Everyone should get the same offers, unless they have a CC. IMO, those with a CC deserve better deals for using it. You would think companies would realize people discuss deals online & stop rewarding portions of their customer base but not all. I'm sure they've lost customers over stuff like that.

Quote from ALVSGIRLY

:

I can not wear Express shoes. I'm a little jealous.

Me either. liggies post did remind me that I have quite a few pairs of sandals from last year that I haven't worn yet. I had forgotten about them.

I'm glad she posted to jog my memory. I would have been buying more. Looking at Express made me want to go look for some that fit.

Quote from CrazyCatJade

:

My hubby plays video games too, but I find it endearing that he is a dork. Not epic dork, just a little dork :lol :

I wish I could find something endearing about my DH playing video games. He plays Tiger Woods all the time & it drives me crazy.

I tried buying him more games for Christmas, but he keeps playing that same stupid game.

Listening to the same commentary over & over drives me up the wall. You must be a better wife than I am.

I had no interest in Express clothing a couple months ago. These girls have brainwashed me into wanting some of it now.

Hm, interesting. That's good to know, but no, I just want to return it, I think. I don't really want it sitting around taking up room. Plus, I can use that couple of bucks for something online that I may actually want

I hear ya on that one. Keep us posted.

They get crazy over 5 year old t-ball. They don't even keep score yet. I just want to have fun not be psycho crazy.
