It is a lovely night out tonight – not too warm, slightly on the cool side. My husband and I took advantage of it and took our dog for a 2 mile walk. Yay! My leg muscles are contracting as I sit writing and it feels good. For the night and the exercise I am thankful. I didn’t want to go at first ’cause I was feeling tired and my allergies are acting up but now I am happy that I dragged my butt along.

My husband and I had a great day all in all. He has not been feeling well but he dragged his butt out shopping with me. I like going mall shopping with him or looking at other stores beside grocery stores. We generally have a good time.
We have a wedding tomorrow (the first of my youngest cousins is getting married – how time flies! I remember babysitting him!) and needed to get a gift plus I needed a strapless bra (I hate bra shopping, ugh) for the dress I am wearing. We went to my favorite store, JC Penney. As usual they had awesome deals and I ended up buying 3 dresses! I couldn’t resist – they fit well, are washable, will go with my favorite black strappy sandals. The best part is they were 70 % off! I didn’t get the bra I went there for (I chickened out on bra shopping – just couldn’t hack it) but I have some new fun and flirty dresses to choose from for tomorrow. I was going to wear the gorgeous gold/champagne dress I wore to dinner at the Grand Hotel but I needed the bra for it and the shoes I have to go with it are too big and slip off (I am not impressed with the shoes I bought in May to go with that dress; they are not made well. My one JCP disappointment). I did not have any luck finding some better shoes today. Who knows I may end up in the gold dress tomorrow (I may just wear my wedding corset with it and struggle with the shoes because I really love the dress and wanted to wear it) but I am thankful for the dresses I found though, they are going to come in handy this summer I think.
All this talk of dresses and shoes, yikes! I annoy myself sometimes. I am not really all that involved (focused on?) with what I wear most of the time but sometimes it can be fun. I worry about my shopping though – that is what I used to do when I was really depressed to make myself feel better. I am struggling with a depression right now so perhaps that is what all this focus on the clothes have to do with right now. Oh well, that will have to be it for my shopping this summer because I really have too many clothes. Half of them I am too big for but I am going to work on that for sure. The walk tonight made me realize how much I miss and need exercise. I feel good right now.

We went to Bed Bath and Beyond to get the wedding gift. While we were there we saw 50 things we wanted to buy, haha. We saw this new soda maker that a lady was demo-ing. We got a free sample of cola which was quite good and tasted like Coke. It was a really cool thing that you make your own soda pop with (there were many different flavors). I want one! Don’t know why or how convenient it is but I want one. We also ran into my Mom at the store and I got to see my nephews who were in fine form. I will see them all at the wedding tomorrow too.
To top of our day shopping, mi amor and I went to Famous Daves for dinner were we ate too much. The food is too good!! It turned out to be a great day topped off by this lovely night.
