Whew! That is a long title! Anyhow, it’s Friday, the sun is shining, I’m listening to party tunes on Virgin Radio, and all is good.

My good friend “A” just called as I was getting ready to drop “Queenie” off at Preschool. She was looking for a good excuse to visit a few new area stores and wanted an accomplice. I was so proud of myself. I told her no. I am working this afternoon so I can have a guilt-free weekend and I am saving my pennies for Sunday.

Sunday, my two close friends (”A” and “J”) and I are having a girls shopping day. This day happens three times a year (in conjunction with our birthdays) and we often contemplate adding to our group so we can sneak in an extra day. We love these shopping days, because they have such great memories attached to them.

It is always more fun to shop with your pals. We are brutally honest with each other - telling each other what looks good, what doesn’t and what is not worth it. We challenge each other to try something new, something out of our shopping comfort zones. And the biggest rule that needs enforcing - no shopping for the kids on this trip.

Afterwards we usually go for an early dinner at a restaurant and chat about our purchases, tell silly stories and generally enjoy each other’s company.

So, back to work I go! Have a great weekend and I’ll come back Monday and tell you what we got!
