Penniless Socialite: Weekend Update: It's the Most Stressful Time of Year

Today I'm over at Glossy Blonde giving away some nail polish and ad space. Go enter!

I started out this weekend by finding out that I have a possible allergy to grapefruit. How did I find out about this allergy you ask? Well it certainly wasn't eating one. That's gross old lady food. I used some new face wipes infused with grapefruit....as I was getting ready for a holiday party. I did not attend the party because I was too busy trying to pry open my swollen eye lids and fight through a Benedryl coma.

And then the weekend got awesomer when I had to go to work on Saturday to prepare for a trial. Well, at least someone put a lovely pointsetta on my desk. And sometimes when you need to do important lawyer work on the weekends, you need to wear a Little Mermaid sweatshirt (from Kohls). No outfit photos with the sweatshirt because I did not shower before going into the office. I am super classy. Oh, and then the case settled by Saturday afternoon. I proceeded to reward myself with dinner and a milkshake at Cheeburger Cheeburger.

So, I spent my unexpectedly free Sunday Christmas shopping. According to Victoria's Secret and Target, footie pajamas are a thing. The Scot and I are just going to give up and pretense to romance and get matching footie pajamas I guess. I made myself to the mall 5 minutes before it opened because I was not dealing with the hoards of Christmas shoppers. I zoomed in and out in a half hour...but then I had to go back later that afternoon when pandemonium took over. Why did I willingly thrust myself into the belly of shopping hell? Because of this:

I bought my mom a lovely cashimere scarf at Macy's. On sale and with a coupon it was only $57!! But, then I found virtually the same scarf at TJ Maxx for $29.99. That Macy's rip off when directly back to the store.

And here is why I am not allowed to go to Target by myself:
