Girl Power!!

Today I spent my birthday with the people I love the most! No, not my kids and husband, but Debbi, Sherri, Laura, and Valerie. They were there to share in my special day! I left the family at home to play the Wii and headed out for a day of girlie fun. I had such a wonderful time, I am still on a high!
We all met for lunch at La Madeline and then headed over to Sam Moon for some shopping! I bought a new purse and wallet. The purse is black and white Zebra print with red accents and rhinestones. (I bet you are visualizing a rocker chick with tight leather pants and a tube top with feathered hair, but my friends assured me if anyone could pull off the white trash look, I could! I hope they didn’t steer me wrong! LOL) I also got a red wallet to coordinate! Laura bought me a necklace and earring set and I bought another necklace and earring set (like I need more, but what the heck! It’s my birthday!)

Then we set out for the shoe mart down the way and browsed at their thousands of shoes that my poor feet can’t wear, but we had fun looking at them none the less. Then a quick jaunt over to this other clothing store for a New Year’s Eve top for Sherri. We had fun looking at all the strange and wonderful tops and Red Hat Society couture while Sherri modeled some for us. The sales girl there was shadowing us the whole time and we felt like another gal had joined the birthday celebration! It was kind of creepy! LOL
We were thirsty and ready for some dessert, so we headed over to the corner bakery and I had a Hot Chai and a raspberry square. It was yum-o and I filled my new purse and wallet while we chatted. Then! (I’m exhausted just typing this!) we made one more pit stop at Old Navy to see if they carried plus sizes, which they did NOT and then headed home. I’m sure our husbands were wondering when we were coming back because we had been gone for about 7 hours! It was girl fun at it’s best! Thanks girls for sharing in my day! And thanks Val for the book and Debbi for the earrings! I love you all!

I think 35 is going to be the best year yet, I can feel it!

  1. Happy birthday, indeed!! It was great to see you and have some “girl time”. Glad you got to engage in some retail therapy! I love your new purse!!

  2. Happy birthday!

    I remember 35. It will be a year that will be defined as you see fit to define it. It’s taken me 48 birthdays to fully understand that we are the architects of our lives. For the longest time, I always thought someone else held that power. No, I just gave it away.

    Be happy and here’s to finding inner peace in ’08.

    This was my first time here. I enjoyed my visit and I’ll be back.

    Best,
    Laurie Kendrick
