This week one of my friends celebrated her 40th Birthday. She was totally spoiled this week. Her husband cooked her favorite dinner, she said it was FABULOUS!! Some of our friends surprised her at work with flowers and sweet treats!!
Right before Christmas my friend was robbed. It has been an emotional roller coaster since then for her entire family. It broke my heart when she asked me how can I convince my daughter she is safe when I don't believe it myself. My friend had a rough 2012 and this was the final straw. I just wish there was more I could do for her. I wish I could be Jeanie and blink my eyes and nod my head and make it all go away.
Since that was/is not possible, tonight we had a girls night. We went to a restaurant my friend had never been to. It was great no screaming kids, nothing to worry about just enjoying time with my friends. It was good to laugh have a drink and not hear the words, "Mommy! Mommy! Hey Mommy" 5000 times.
After dinner, none of us had been to the new JCP that opened before Christmas. So we went and strolled around to see if it would be worth a second trip. I was impressed very clean, employees were very nice, LOTS of deals!! I tried on a few retro dresses, some very funky shoes nothing that fit my budget right now but I did find some great deals on some anchor pieces to my wardrobe at $3, 5 and 6 each. Sometime down the road I will be making a second trip.
It was such a long crazy day, great to shop with some girlfriends and some me time. Very much needed me time. Happy Birthday to my friend!! Welcome to the club!! Sending heart hugs!!
TTFN~
