Fully Alive…Ready to Smile

…recognize the true importance of a single moment in time, the instant when you are fully and completely alive!

Why I love shopping!

I haven’t had time to post about it, but last weekend (Sunday to Monday) my friend Janice and I went down to the States for the night. Shopping was the name of the game. I was going to try and stay away from black and brown, but you’ll notice, it was very unsuccessful…in fact, everything I bought is either black or brown. I suck! Janice on the other hand, who has complained to me in the past that she doesn’t have enough color bought pink and green and blue. Oh well, at least it’s all nice : ) I also got the girls some little treats. Aidan needed new jeans. Ella got a new computer game and I got them both new plates and mittens. (click on the collage to see it larger…and don’t you just love those shoes?)
And quite possibly one of the main reasons I go is for this…

Unfortunately Bath and Body Works was in the fifth week of their “5 for $15″ sale on antibacterial soaps and the selection was very limited in Fargo. On our way through Grand Forks we stopped in at the Bath and Body Works there and found a few more.

And a big, bright, shiny moment for Janice and I…

…don’t worry…we didn’t eat it all right then. There are just so many fascinating treats that we don’t have here. I brought most of mine home and shared with my family.

  5. Jude - well seem to always be 3 for $10, they just happened to be 5 for $15 in the last few weeks. So they are always a good deal.

  8. i share your fashion color palette. can’t go wrong with neutrals, right? the last couple of years, I’ve actually ventured out into the “color” zone and I own a couple of pink pieces of clothing. but other than that, it’s brown, black, white, gray, taupe… you know how it goes!
    hope you’re well, too!

  9. Gorgeous clothes! All stuff I would wear, too bad we’re not the same size.

    Love, Jen H.

  12. You and I have very similar tastes these days. I just can’t imagine not having a B&B Works nearby. Oh the things I take for granted.
