I love special sales

by The Diva

I love getting notices for special sales. I’m signed up with a few of my favorite businesses to get their regular sales newsletters and their special newsletters. I absolutely love it when I get the occasional notice from one of them that their having an Employee Purchase Program Event or a Midnight madness sale or special bargains that you’ll only know about if you get the newsletter.

Naturally I don’t take advantage of all of these sales because I don’t always need to be out buying things … but it’s good to keep any eye on what’s on sale just in case I need something or in case I have to buy a gift. I always have sales and savings in the back of my mind.

Do you sign up for your favorite department stores sales newsletters so that you can find out when they are having big sales?

Trying to decide on what type of gift to get my pregnant friend

by The Diva

I just found out earlier this week that a close friend from work is expecting a baby in the Fall. I’m really happy for her as she’s wanted to have a baby for a long time.

I know it’s kind of early for gifts, but I’d like to get her a mother to be gift now … just to show her that I’m in her corner and that I’m excited for her and her husband.

My big dilemma is whether to get her a gift just for her – something that she can use to pamper herself now, or to get her a gift that she can use when the baby comes in the Fall. Hmmm … What to do, what to do …

If you were just fairly newly pregnant would you want a present for yourself right now or would you want a present for your baby? I mean … in a few months she’s definitely going to have a couple of very big baby showers from the people at work and all of our friends … I think I’m leaning towards getting her a personal gift.

Visiting the neighbors

by The Diva

Our neighbors had a small birthday party for their little girl yesterday. We were invited to the party so we went over for a few hours in the afternoon.

We end up having a really nice time. We don’t socialize all that much with these particular neighbors. They’re in the house that’s attached to ours- so we hear them all the time … but we don’t talk to them all that much.

We got along really well though so I think we’ll be getting together more often. Oh and when we were leaving our neighbor – Carol, gave us the sweetest thank you cards for attending the party. So nice.

Do you socialize with your neighbors?
