The Gap brands (the Gap, Banana Republic, Old Navy) had a promotion this weekend which didn’t make much sense to me. Back in the 90’s, my room mate worked at the gap and they offered friends and family weekends periodically. It was very strict: only a certain number of family members and\/or friends were allowed to attend and it took place on Sunday’s before the store opened. I felt so special since I got to partake in the bargains.<\/p>\n
But now their “family and friends” discount is a 4 day event…and it appears that everybody can get the 30% discount. Randy and I got emails (presumably because we have store charge cards) but we just printed off multiple copies and gave them to friends. So, on Saturday afternoon the 6 of us ventured over to great-outer suburbia to a mall (the first mall I’ve visited since before summer, fortunately) and did some shopping.<\/p>\n
Randy and I returned to a more local Old Navy yesterday and purchased a few more things. In between shopping, we played games on Friday night and Saturday night. And I’ve been calling my parents MUCH more regularly to check in on them now that they’ve both been hospitalized with pneumonia over the past two months. Fortunately, my father is gradually getting better.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
