I am done, and I am spent. I finally finished shopping, for everyone. I took Haylie and her friend Sydney to Albertville yesterday. We got to the outlet mall before it opened at 10, and we didn't get back to Floodwood until almost 9 PM. What a long day! But, it was fun. The girls were really good and really respectful. They tried to go shop on their own, but they ultimately needed my help for jeans. I told them at Old Navy that I was now "driving the bus" and they were going to stand in that dressing room until they got jeans that fit. They each ended up with 3 or 4 pairs of jeans at the end of the day, so I guess that worked!
My girls are also done. I took Lauren on Thursday, and she got finished too. She was pretty easy to go with. We took Marissa too, and she was easy to shop with. I'm lucky that all the girls have good friends.
Speaking of good friends....
I got to spend some time with my good friends when I took Haylie and Syd to Alberville. We spent the night in Elk River and I met up with Gail, Beth, Karen and Heather. We sat at Buffalo Wild Wings for about 4 hours. We had drinks, and food, and lots and lots of laughs. Our waiter, Colin, spilled salsa on me and Karen. Unfortunately, he didn't comp us anything. That was too bad, especially since he spilled an entire vat (ok, a little dish) of salsa on our pants.
My friends thought it would be fun to stand on their chairs and clap and sing Happy Birthday to me. Hysterical. I got a free ice cream treat and my name announced on the loud speaker. Mortifying, but a little exciting too. That stuff doesnt' usually happen. So funny.
Today I'm going to hang out at my mom's and then tomorrow we get our new goat. I think it'll be the last goat we purchase for a while. My mom is getting it for me for my birthday. She is a fainting goat. her name is Antigo. Maddie is already practicing her "Scare Tactics". watch the blog for more updates on her.
Happy Labor Day and enjoy these last few days of summer. I will personally enjoy the first day of school more than any day this weekend, I can PROMISE that!!
