Ooooo! Yesterday was lovely.

Went to buy school uniforms for smaller sister, which is always interesting as Apocolypse Now Mom's are always twittering around and yelling/slapping at their hordes of swarming children as they clog the aisles. Sister had 'outgrown' (code word for gotten-too-fat-for) all of her other uniforms, so that meant a bonafide uniform shopping bonanza.

Which was interesting.

Then gallavanted over to see Freaky Friday at The Falls. Was cute. However, there were some extremely creepy scenes where this 18 year old that was the teenager's love interest was actually attracted to the mom, which was, in fact, the teenager as she was in her mom's body, but asthetically it made me say 'eww' in a loud voice.

And none of that sentence really made sense.

Oh well.

Went to have a chinese feast at the beautiful restaurant nearby, extremely crowded, but we ate outside on the terrace. Was fun.

Then galumphed to BCBG and tried on masses and masses of clothes. I absolutely fell in love with a pale blue ruffly shirt that looked like something Buffy would wear with the doomed love only star-crossed lovers share.

Alas, it was $60.00. (originally $148.00). I asked my mother, with pleading, watery eyes, if she was moved enough by its sparkling beauty to pay half. With a cruel toss of her head, she announced no.

No! no! I cried in the dressing room. But why, oh heartless wench? I vociferously sobbed.

I then saw a black shirt with delicate netting around the chest and on the arms, which was less and I happily, cheerily purchased.

But my heart shall always belong to the ruffly.

We proceeded to Coach, which is always lovely, Banana Republic which, even though the size 6 jeans didn't fit, my mother had to try on twice, to Pottery Barn (purchased a plum colored pillow), and to Illuminations where I bought a leafy candle holder that accents the leafy tones in my room perfectly. Then to the Lindhalt chocolate shop to buy thank-you chocolates for the neighbor who let us borrow her collar and leash after Sasha killed hers.

Went home, and saw Pride and Prejudice!

MR. DARCY!!!

Then bed time.

Hooray!
