sweater weather

i am wearing a sweater today...yes! a sweater. i am fully aware it feels like the middle of summer outside, but in my little cubicle it is usually icy cold and we are only two days away from october, right?! [oh, and i suppose i should mention that my sweater is new - therefore i have really been wanting to wear it!]

here's the story of my sweater...

john and i went to shopko on saturday to price an indoor air matress. i don't usually shop there {i always hit my favs first...ross, target or kohls} but we heard they had a good deal, so we went to check it out. as you walk in the front door of shopko it opens up to the women's clothing section - so the first thing i see is:
90% OFF!
"i don't need it, we don't have time or the money" BUT who am i kidding...i can't pass up only paying 10% on a clothing item! so i naturally changed my course and headed for the sale rack. john graciously allowed me to browse for a while and he headed to the mens to see if they were offering the same deals. i bought six things...three of them sweaters for this winter (or today!) and three tank tops. $4 each!! [we got john a couple new shirts as well for only $7 and the air mattress for half off]

i love sales! i almost never buy anything full price...especially when it feels so good to save some cash!

on another note, i am really looking forward to autumn - watching God's creation change into the warm firey tones, hearing the leaves crunch under my feet and wearing my sweaters and scarves in perfectly cool afternoons.
