It's Girlfriend Day

[in_the_blue]

Just me and my most amazing daughter for the next four days. Woohoo! We can do all that fun mom-daughter stuff, like staying up late watching movies and eating popcorn, or going to the ridiculously expensive amusement parks, or--horror of horrors--shopping for school clothes at the mall. Hannah has shown a marked and decided preference for Nordstrom, my little snobette. I wonder how old she has to be to get her own credit card there... think they'll issue one to a very intelligent 8-year-old? She's got the rudimentary math skills down; she can sign her name...

On Friday, my sweetheart and I had an actual date. Our sitter was here and as I had no clients because a) it's summer and b) it's almost labor day and c) the kids are all at home this last frantic two weeks of summer... we went out to lunch with plans to go to the Portland Art Museum after. However, lunch took so long (went to a Caribbean place and yeh mon! they move on island time there) that we didn't have time afterwards for culture.

So, we went shopping. Whoever says men don't like to shop hasn't met my dear husband. He loves to shop. So long as it's alone! If I tried to drag him along with me, we'd both get irritated. However, he won the little shopping derby on Friday; he outspent me 2:1. You go, honey! I got me new boots; I'm satisfied.

I'm a shoe-aholic. I could get a new pair every week if Imelda Marcos hadn't already snagged most of them up. But I am good, and weed through the old ones and make room for the new.

On a completely unrelated note, I am highly looking forward to sff_corgi's visit. Girlfriend time! Adult time! I adore my daughter and husband, don't get me wrong. But getting time away and having The Coolest Woman in Florida (that's her new title) come to visit... now that's an adventure. Watch out, lady. I was very careful when I picked my 'Sirius at Heart' moniker. I look into my gazing crystal and I see all sorts of adventure coming up. All sorts. I'll try to tone down the recklessness so we don't end up like Thelma and Louise, though.

I must comment (beyond a 'thumbs up' on what you said).

Every time I see you post with that icon, I think... why is she using my alter-ego's face? As if I own it! Not hardly.

(Actually, I do own an official copy of that most lovely 8x10 glossy, come to think on things... thank you Mr Carter...)

Want to come visit the same time as Corgi? Come on over! We can have a regular meetup. It's not that far from where you are... oh wait, yes it is... well, some day.

And I have to say, your little sister is perfectly charming! Did she tell you we'd chatted? She promised she would. I think she panicked when I told her how old I was, though.

Chat with sister

Hee, yes, my sister told me you'd chatted :)

She also told me she couldn't believe that my friends were so old o.O I said I don't pay attention to age when I make friends with people :D

Well, now don't I feel all ancient and falling apart. Quick, where's the Viagra and the Depends?

Oops. Sorry. Wrong gender. Bit of a sirius lapse there.
