So, when my Aunt Debbie was up here in July she was sure I needed a new makeover for my new body. I finally relented by saying "you can do whatever you want as long as I don't have to pay for it". Both of them whipped out their calendars (you could actually feel the breeze from the flipping pages) and decided the weekend of August 28th mom and I would travel to San Diego for the makeover.
Well, as luck would have it (sarcastic tone here), medical issues prevented the traveling. So, mom and my sister Maura and I headed of to Reno on Saturday. Maura LeAnn met up with us so we could take her to lunch for her birthday. WE WENT SHOPPING! I had so much fun! I generally do not like to shop but I wound up loving it that day. We got a bunch of new tops and a few skirts for me. As well as the outfit I will wear to the wedding this weekend. I felt really pretty. At Maura LeAnn's urging, I even tried on a daring little number that was not modest and was most definitely something I would not wear in public. Just as well because the price tag on the "little" number was $178! Wow! It did look good though.
Then we went to Red Lobster for lunch. That was yummy! I had a really good time both in activity and in the company I kept.
Thank you to my parents for funding the expedition. Thank you to the company for the the fun I had. Thank you to my husband and kids for "holding down the fort" so I could spend the day out. The only thing that could have made it better was if Aunt Debbie could have participated. All in all, a good day!
