This was waiting for me when I walked into school one day. Oh how the tables have turned...

What a weekend, and it's only Saturday!
Friday:When I saw the email about the Crazy 8 grand opening in my inbox Friday morning, I knew that Alexis had to be there. She was still asleep so I texted her from downstairs, "Crazy 8 Grand Opening TODAY!" - and yes, texting is really the best way to communicate with her when she is just waking up. She sprung up and shouted, "We have to go!" Next thing I know she's downstairs getting XX changed and ready.
When we got to the store, there was a table out front with entry slips for their grand opening drawing. Prizes included $88 gift cards, ipod shuffles, and a $888 shopping spree grand prize. Judging by the number of entries in the box already, there had been fewer than about 10 people there before us.
The first drawing was at 11:08am - didn't win. Went out to shop the rest of the mall and stopped at Chick-Fil-A for some lunch. We were in an area of the mall where we didn't get ATT's more bars in more places, when I saw the voicemail icon appear. I ran out to check the voicemail since I was expecting a call from someone else but this is what I got instead: "Alexis, you've one our Crazy 8 12:08 drawing for $88! Awesome!" She pretty much ditched me and XX and she hurried back to the store to claim her prize. As XX would say, "Great Job Mama!"
Saturday:
I've always wanted to not have to pay for haircuts. My mom used to cut my hair, and she really did a nice job doing it. When I got to college, I cut it mostly by myself but usually recruited someone to help fix the back. Ever since I had to work professionally, I've had my hair cut by the professionals at Supercuts or Fantastic Sams. I've become a regular at a place in Rockville now, but I have been since thinking about having Alexis give it a try. Today she finally got around to it and again, as XX would say, "Great Job Mama!"
