We had a nice day today. FIL came and got the kids and I headed to get my aunt. We went clothes shopping for about 5 hours in 3 different stores. She got a lot of really good deals for my cousin’s girlfriend and I had a great time picking out stuff and not spending money on it! I couldn’t leave empty handed of course and ended up with stuff for the house. I got new bath rugs, shower curtain, vase for the dining room, picture for Emma’s room, a pillow…oh, and a new purse. I actually had a really, really good time with her.
I never thought her and I had much in common but I found out we both like shopping yet are quite indecisive, hence the long shopping trip, we both are weight-conscious and don’t find it extremely hard to moderate what we eat (unlike my mom, sister and grandmother), and we both love peanut butter. Small, random facts, but I think they count.
We got done shopping about the same time Scott woke up from working last night so I drove my aunt to meet up with my mom and I went home. Scott and I headed to get the girls. Scott had slept so long though, he was back off to work about an hour later. Mom, Dad, Heather and my aunt all came over this evening and cooked steaks on the grill, went swimming and then we all went out for ice cream.
Speaking of moderating my food, the past two days with my aunt her has sacrificed any idea of a diet. I had been down 1/2 lb below goal at one point this week so let myself have more than I have been lately but I think today put me over the edge. All ending with a peanut butter and hot fudge sundae at the ice cream place. Ice cream is definitely my Achilles’ heel. So hopefully I’ll get back on track on Monday.
I don’t think I have much to report on besides that. After preparing for Sunday School tomorrow morning, I’ve been trying to pick some more “Vintage Amy” posts this evening and I literally have been laughing out loud to myself. At 14 it was simply boys, boys, boys. Geesh.
