So far today has been okay.

So, drove up to Woodbridge and exchanged the cracked footboard. Since I had time and absolutely no desire to listen to my sciatic nerve, I went over to Potomac Mills and did a little shopping.

• The JCP outlet has lots of maternity stuff. Unfortunately it's almost all 2-3x, which doesn't come anywhere close to fitting me. I did manage to find a couple nursing gowns for the hospital.
• Hot Topic has some baby clothes. Hot Topic has expensive baby clothes. I don't care how adorable a jolly roger onesie is, I'm not paying 18 bucks for one. I have a printer and transfer paper. I have stencils and paint. I can make my own adorable evil baby clothing for much less than that. I did buy the on-sale Jack Skellington skully print onesie. I couldn't resist. Looked for Posiez in the adult section, didn't see any.
• The Motherhood Maternity Outlet didn't really have outlet prices. Nothing caught my fancy.

Drove home. Listened to my sciatic nerve. Cursed slooooooow people.

Just yesterday I perused the clearance section of a Hot Topic. The only section worthwhile.

Old Navy is having a 25% off ALL maternity clothes at the moment. Also 25% off all baby things. I intend to order some stuff, most likely shirtage.
I hear you on the cute yet RIDICULOUSLY priced baby stuff. It is similar to the cute yet ridiculously priced maternity stuff. I have some stuff wish listed on Amazon, under my name + baby but I really can not bring myself to shell out 36$ for a maternity t-shirt with a floating baby. But then, we have been looking at the on-going baby clothing selection and most of it is hurlacious. And gender color specific. You can get green and yellow up to about 6 months but after that it is either pink or blue. Grrrrrr.

Don't forget to stop in the actual stores--you can often find really cheap clearance there. and CUTE clearance. :D

Happy barfday! So glad you are rollin' through another year with the rest of us over-perky-aged crones. *wink*

I hope your day was exceedingly fine.

Listened to my sciatic nerve.

How do you mean?

I can sometimes hear something like a tap dripping in my neck at night in bed...

Sitting aggravates my sciatica, especially sitting in a car . . . and especially driving in traffic (can't use cruise control).

So, basically, I spent all day dealing with jolt jolt jolt.
