BH made a good deal at Macys, scoring a cool pair of Levis at $9.99 and a stylo shirt at $6? wah&#8230; I bought 2 Gap tops at $15 as it was on BOGO. Gap tops make good working clothes ya know&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Above all, I gave BH his bday gift &#8211; a CK belt! and&#8230;. my bday gift is still NOT HERE!! so&#8230;apparently, it&#8217;s kinda lost in transit??!!! I mean.. we had purchased numerous items from Amazon.. and it&#8217;s the first time this had happened.. sob \ud83d\ude41 looks like i&#8217;m not fated to be own a Baby G. Fortunately, amazon agree to give us a refund if we still don&#8217;t get it by coming monday <\/p>\n<p>We also went to the Nordstrom at downtown Seattle to look at Chanel bags.. haha&#8230; the SAs were not friendly at all.. I hate SA that talk among themselves while they are assisting you.. geez&#8230; It feels that you are not a valued customer. IF I am mking a HUGE purchase, I would spend money feeling happy and well taken care of&#8230; anyway, we left the store getting NOTHING?! heh.. <\/p>\n<p>After shopping, we had dinner at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theoliveandgrape.com\/home\/\">The Olive and Grape<\/a><br \/>\nI love Mediterranean food&#8230; so when there&#8217;s a livingsocial deal on it, we jumped on the chance immediately! Finally, we kept the coupon to a special occasion and used it&#8230; well&#8230; the Lamb Kebabs ( looks like Satay) was quite nice&#8230; the meatballs were nice too&#8230; however, the entree was only ok&#8230; we ordered grilled fish.. I was expecting the fish to be more flavorful but there was little aroma of spices and herbs. The only saving grace was the fish was fresh.. at least there&#8217;s no fishy smell<\/p>\n<p><br clear=\"all\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/seattletimes.6eptember.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/olive.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/seattletimes.6eptember.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/olive.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"olive\" width=\"404\" height=\"404\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-2332\" srcset=\"https:\/\/seattletimes.6eptember.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/olive.jpg 404w, https:\/\/seattletimes.6eptember.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/olive-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/seattletimes.6eptember.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/olive-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 404px) 100vw, 404px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><br clear=\"all\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Actually, I wasn&#8217;t even full after dinner..
