FuN FrIdAY

It's not often I get together with my *ah-hem* MUCH OLDER sister Josie and goof around (kidding, she is the baby girl and I'm the middle child-as if you can't tell). We donned silly-looking hair accessories....

.....tried on *very* expensive clothing....$450 ensemble, anyone??
For the price, these outfits should've made us look and feel like like a skinny beauty-queens!

Josie's comment regarding her $500 ensemble, "It's itchy & tight!!"

She mentioned I look like a 'tree-hugging-hippie' in this one;

Although, I must have these fab boots- they soooo compliment the capris!

Close-up of the fab shoe-boots...you know you want them....be jealous...

Although, I thought Josie was rather fetching in this "grisly adams" skunk vest....

It was a fun evening and just what was needed to lift the spirits and lighten moods!

Holiday "Date" Day

Labor Day was the best day in a loooong time- for a 'date night'!

These days, it's a challenge to leave the house as a couple (sans Ayla) but decided that Labor Day would be the day to spend much needed quality time together. Ayla's care-taker was scheduled to work for a few hours and we both had the day off so it was perfect timing.

I know you're curious to discover what we did....so hang on- it was a W-I-L-D day!
First: we got all dressed up and beautified


Second: We went and picked up a new washer (ours had been limping along for months and finally decided that it was finished). I know- great start to a date, right? Wow- am I an expensive date thus far or what?!

Third: After installing the new washer and testing a load of laundry, we then went to Sonic and had the most delicious milkshakes! Afterwards, we cruised the awesome strip-mall for fashion violations and animal stalkers. Details on that later.....

Fourth: we purchased a new car-seat for Ayla (she has officially outgrown her infant seat) and did some light shopping for necessities. Again, Ryan pointed out that, "I am not a cheap date"....whatever that means.

Fifith: went to visit Zoey-Munkin and gave her kisses and cleaned her headstone.

....The End!

Okay, so this wasn't the most exciting day but anytime I get to spend one-on-one time with Ryan is divine! Date nights have been sorely missed but we have vowed to do better- really!
