Great Day with Friends!!

On Monday I had the good fortune to hang out with my dear friends Maggie and Rudianne. Maggie has recently lost her husband Don to ALS, a tragic and horrible illness. I love hanging out with these girls but it means so much more now.

We started off by having a great lunch at The Custom House with lots and lots of talking and laughing and reminiscing. Then we went for a walk to the post office, took a spin to the candy store (which was so amazing!! I surprised myself by not buying a single thing for myself- but Daniel did get some goodies!!!) and stopped at a coffee shop.

The coffee took forever, but that ended up being a good thing because we got to be girlie girls and look through Maggie's Nordstroms and Saks catalogs! I certainly learned some lessons in how expensive things are from Saks!!! There was a watch in there for $193000!!!!!! Holy Cow!!! But we had so much fun flipping through the pages dreaming about the frivolous things we wanted (like some MAC make-up!!! hee hee!!!!)

I'm even more excited because next week Maggie and I are going to Santa Barbara (with our friend Abby!!) and we're gonna do some retail therapy! My time with Maggie is precious and always has been, so I'm excited to spend a day with her and Abby, having nothing important to do, nowhere we have to be (besides the MAC counter).

Co-workers are the BEST!!!!!!!

My co-workers happen to also be my friends and I'm super lucky!!! I have some of the best friends a girl could ask for!!!! Rudianne (who will never read this but still needs the credit) is throwing a co-worker/hairdresser (+my mom and best friend Megs & her momma Donna) bridal shower and I'm super excited!!! At first I didn't want one because I didn't want to be the center of attention but she talked me into it and I'm glad she did. I'm so looking forward to spending a non-work day with my gals, enjoying food and pressies. I was very specific that I didn't want anything crotchless or that required batteries cuz you know 1. my mom will be there and 2. that's just not my kinda thing. I know that if I got super sexy or trashy lingerie I'd end up laughing if I wore it. It's just not me and Daniel would agree. He prefers me in a tank and undies so fortunately I won't be needing to get gussied up in lace, mesh or a g-string (thank god!!!! my bum is not meant to have dental floss anywhere near it!)

Anyway I'm really looking forward to it. I'll get some photos posted from it once it happens so I can share the good times!!!
