I had discussed this with Jessica and Karen at great lengths and I don't know if it was intentional or just coinsidence but between the two of them, I actually had one of the best weekends that I have had in a long time.
I had already been dreading the fact that Austin had decided to go out of town this weekend with his friends from church, so I knew that I would be alone and have lots of time to think, stalk and get depressed. So, Jessica and I decided to go shopping on Saturday. The plan was that I would get up, get ready and drop Austin off- going straight to LaPush and then out for shopping. and THAT is exactly what we did. Of course I had goals of things that I needed (wanted) and I almost completely accomplished all of those (I still want some different shoes). We went to a lot of different stores and found some really good deals. I got 4 new sweaters, 2 blouses (kick ass blouses), a pair of slacks, a jacket for Austin (that i need to take back because he wants a pea coat) and the ULTIMATE goal... a peacoat for me.
I absolutely ADORE it! and my plans are to go back this week and get another one... maybe a red one... or a gray one.... but neither with a hood. The really cool thing is that while Jess and I were shopping at the Mall, Karen text me and she was there too so we met up and looked at coats together. We parted and I continued to shop.
After leaving Little Rock for home I was invited to Lori's for dinner. We went to the grocery to get stuff and on the way back I got a nail in my tire (it's ok though because it sorta matched the HUGE smashed in portion from the guy rear-ending me on Friday morn). We made Lori watch a couple eps of Trueblood with us and I don't think she liked it much (although Kevin said he thought it was funny how much we laughed at the pornilicious parts).
Sunday I got to dress in my new clothes and PEEEACOOOAT and go to church. It was a good day, although entirely TOO cold. Hot chocolate, pj's, Karen and Trueblood... and flea spray topped off the day.
I must admit when I closed my eyes last night to sleep, I smiled. Life goes on. Life goes on.
*i love you Karen, thank you for keeping me sane this week... *
I love you too! Can't wait to go peacoat shopping with you this weekend!
ReplyDeleteOh and by the way I think Lori does like it more than she is letting on. Last night when I saw her she asked what happened. So I told her and she was all shock faced. Oh and then she was like "if this was real life sookie would have killed herself by now from all this crap!" Which is a really good point lmao.
Ps - How is Dora and Sissy?
