outlets

On my way to Thiel College to watch Colby play lacrosse this weekend, I stopped at the Prime Outlets. I've learned to enjoy outlet shopping. Some people don't feel as though they get bargains, but I think I do.  I don't mind buying off season so that's where you get the best prices. I just go with the attitude that I don't need to buy anything. Sometimes I come home with tons of things, and sometimes nothing. We've stopped at outlets all over the country. Sometimes I forget which one I'm at because they all start looking the same.  Save the coupons you get in the mail or emailed- I saved a bunch using them this weekend.

On the way to Thiel, I was glad Colby decided not to go there. The 13 mile back country road that you have to travel from the Interstate to the college is dangerous.  We, meaning me and 20 other cars, got stuck behind a huge piece of farm equipment that was doing 10 mph.  So those last 20 minutes took 40 minutes. I think about that winding and curvy road on a snowy, dark night. I'm glad his school is on a main road.

The game was a good game. It was in a domed stadium, so I was glad that I didn't have to sit outside in yet another rain. Why are lacrosse games always in the rain and cold? It's supposed to be spring. Anyhow -  Colby scored a goal and had multiple other shots. Got two crappy penalties too, just because the refs are tall-haters.  But he is the third highest scorer for his school.
