In case you haven't picked up a fact of my life, I live to shop (and eat and sleep but that's not the point of emphasis). I love it so much. Thank goodness for my bank account, I've perfected the art of window shopping and trying things on and buying them later when they're on super sale. No shopping day is as hallowed as the starting day of the Nordstrom anniversary sale, aka Black Friday for the wealthy. It's tradition for all the women in my family in the area to gather at an unearthly hour and make our trek to the best Nordstrom in the area and wait for those "golden gates" to open at 8 am. This year, my sister and niece where not able to attend in person and mi madre was driving up to Utah but wouldn't be anywhere near me so I had to go on my own. Normally this isn't a big deal given that the nearest Nordstrom was in Orem, a mere 10 minute drive. Since that one shutdown, I had to drive to the next closest one in Murray adding another 30 minutes to my drive. I debated whether or not to go when my inbox received an email from Nordstrom. It told me that if I printed out the email I would get a mystery gift card with anywhere from $10 to $200 to spend as I'd like. I'm a girl who loves free stuff and decided that if nothing else good came of the sale, I would have $10 to put towards my purchases of the day. Imagine my surprise as I cashed in that glorious email and received this:
Me: "Wait, what?!"
Saleslady: "You have $100 to spend as you please, happy shopping!"
Umm, greatest day of shopping ever! I love when shopping involves me not spending a cent out of my pocket. Who knew Nordstrom would love me so much!
