Girls night out

Last night I had a fun girls night out.  A bunch of us meet and went to dinner to celebrate one girls birthday.  There were about 11 of us there so it was a fun group and we had a good time at dinner.  Afterward two others were planning on going to see a movie, and I tagged along with them.  We went and looked at the sales at Dillards and tried on some shoes (I found some I liked, but they were the wrong size), and then went and looked at the swimsuits that were on clearance.  After trying on about 7 or 8 suits in just a few minutes, I found a suit that's cute, but still covers me (something that I seem to have difficulty finding). 

Then we raced over to the movie.  We were late and walked in right as the actual movie was starting.  Since it was a weeknight the theatre wasn't too full and we still got pretty decent seats.  We saw Mama Mia... it's a comedy set on an island in the greek isles.  It's basically a spoof on musicals and was pretty funny.  I never ever thought I'd see Pierce Brosnan break out into song and dance, and his previous roles he's played really increased the hilarity of the movie...

I had a fun time and told my friend that next time I need to go shopping, I am definitly calling her... she's a shopper and I'm not and it was so much more fun to shop with her pointing out things and telling me to try on this or that... than it is when I go in and get frustrated and give up because I can't find things that are cute, and fit me and are modest...

Today we are having a quiet day at home.  The girls have been playing wonderfully, and Alex is just doing his own thing... it's supposed to get to 100 or higher, so I'm debating going to the pool.  It seems like when it's this hot the pool water itself get's hot and it really isn't that great of a cooling thing... the hot sun and air are too hot to enjoy the pool.

I'm so glad you came! And I know the "friend" who helped you pick out swimsuits, and she is a pro-shopper. I'm the same way about shopping, I need a power-shopper. Just one, or I get lost looking for things and give up.
