A "me" weekend

Long time no blog. Ok, it's only been since Thursday, but it feels like forever. Derrick left for Provo Friday morning, leaving me with the whole weekend to myself. It didn't start out so hot, but definitely got better. Friday morning as I was getting ready for work, I got some juice before I hopped in the shower. After my shower, I started to feel really sick. I'll spare you the gory details, and suffice it to say I was hugging the toilet. As I lay on my bed trying to feel better, I thought to myself, I sure could use some juice right about now. Now, if you don't know, I'm addicted to juice. I always have to have some on hand. I think it was living in Florida that did it to me. They had the best OJ around, and my mom always had it stocked in the fridge. And being a non-milk drinker (I know, I know, my bones!!) juice is my breakfast beverage of choice. And lunch and dinner for that matter. But I digress. So I go to get some more juice, and as I'm pouring it into my glass, I look at the pitcher. Which I didn't do before. Obviously. Because all along the inside and up into the lid are big black moldy spots. Everywhere. This grosses me out, and my already overly sensitive stomach decides to once again spew it's non-existent contents. Not a fun morning. So I called in sick to work (drat!) and slept a little more.

By then, I realized I needed a little retail therapy. With the hubby gone, I could go in any store I wanted and not feel pressured to hurry, or hear "You don't need that!" or "You actually LIKE that???". So I shopped. And shopped. And it felt sooooo good. Friday's spoils: 3 shirts, 1 sweater, 2 jackets, 1 purse, 3 pairs of earrings, 1 necklace, and 3 belts. Saturday's spoils: 2 pairs of pants, 4 shirts. Ahhhh. I haven't bought clothes like that in forEVer.

Friday night my friend Whitney and I went out for sushi. Since our hubbies were out eating at all of our favorite places from college, for FREE, we decided we could splurge. It was tres delicioso. Miso soup, Eda Mame, and sushi, sushi, sushi. It was lots of fun, and we just talked and ate and talked and ate. Sometimes, girls nights out just rock. Afterwards, we were driving home and were passing by the mall and decided a Great Wall of Chocolate sure would taste good right about now. So we stopped at PF Changs and got one. Talk about a weekend of indulgences!!

It was a nice weekend to do the things I wanted to do. But it sure is nice to have Derrick back! Especially since he picked up my favorite pink grapefruit sour gummies from the bookstore, and managed to find Golden Griddle syrup. He brought home 4 bottles. That should last us for awhile!! I'm still bummed that they stopped selling it here-without notice, even!! Humph!

Ok, busy busy day at work today. Lots to do, especially since I was out Friday. Le sigh. Time to focus!!

You are so funny - I would blog but Tim's parents are in town and I have no time on the computer except at 11pm at night. Anyway, I am glad you are feeling better. Sometime you should call ME for your girls night on the town...although, I don't really know if I'd be a sushi fan or not. don't know if I've had it before - can't say that I want to :) But, then again it might be great. I'm off to Utah on the 3rd and back on the 9th. We need to hang out SOMETIME...make time for me friend! Later!
