Girl Time

I got some much needed girl time with my best friend today.  We have been planning it and looking forward to it for weeks.  Since we don't work together anymore, Steph and I don't get to see each other as often as we would like.  So we made plans to head to East Side Cafe for lunch then over to the Palmer Events Center for the Austin Junior League's Christmas Affair.  The Christmas Affair was crowded as usual  but I was able to score some cute Alabama items to add to my collection.  I have been debating going back down there tomorrow to do some more shopping but I know I probably don't need to.  My body is still recovering from the craziness of the Thanksgiving Pot Luck at work and walking around the events center all afternoon didn't really help that much.  As it stands right now, I am looking at hitting the bed as soon as I hit post on this entry and staying that way until the Sheriff comes home from work in the morning.  This weekend should be fairly laid back.  The main thing we need to do is get the house prepped for Thanksgiving so that we only have to do minimal pickup on Wednesday before the in-laws invade on Thursday.  As much as I would love to go catch the new Harry Potter movie this weekend, I think it is wise that I take the opportunity to relax and get stuff done around my house.

Julie and I had the best time on Friday! Couldn't of asked for anything more. No wait yes I can. How about the women of Austin having some individuality and style of their own. The Christmas Affair is a fun people watching experience as most all the women look exactly the same. But I can't waituntil next year rolls around.
