Meanderings of the Mind

Name:
Location: Chattanooga, Tennessee, United States

I was recently relocated to Chattanooga by the Postal Service due to the closing of the Remote Encoding Center I worked at in Bowling Green, KY. I had just started my first semester at WKU majoring in Nursing. Since I had recently built a house, my options were to get a lower paying job and lose my house or to move and rent my house out until I have my degree. I chose the latter. I've travelled throughout Europe with my friends and sisters which I consider the highlight of my life experiences to date. I come from a family of 6 kids--4 girls and 2 boys ranging in ages 18 to 34. Only my youngest brother is married at this point.

Shop til you drop

It has been years since I shopped like my sisters, friends and I did today. It is tax-free weekend in Tennessee for back to school supplies and clothing. This truly a big deal when the sales tax is 9.25%. A lot of places like Fashion Bug combined this with 30-80% off sales. A dream come true for college students. I totally turned off my penny-pinching mode for the day; I might have even lost some common sense. I tried on so many items of clothing, I was considering walking around in my underwear. Ok, not really, but it would have saved time. And it was so HOT, it would have felt good.

We were finally so exhausted we had to take a break to just sprawl out. We had our own mini-fashion show. Then it was off to the races again. I had to go to work, but I directed the rest of the crew to the hottest shopping area in Chattanooga.

Now I'm at work counting the hours until I can go home and enjoy my wacky family/friends again. I'll relate our awful night last night at a later date.
