Truth is, I really needed a night away from the kids and it didn't matter where I went. They were whiny and crabby and, frankly, I was just sick of them. So Linda and I went to Haverty's and window-shopped for beds and sofas. I found a mattress/boxspring I really want, but who in the world pays $4000 for a set? Not me, that's for certain. If I did I'd never get OUT of the bed.
Neither of us spent much money at Target (quite a feat for me, especially when you consider the fact that I have to drive 30 minutes to get to Target so I usually save up all my Target shopping for one big trip). I found myself a replacement for my very favorite black t-shirt (also bought at Target, several years ago). It was a great shirt, fit me perfectly, washed up like a dream and I wore it until it was literally falling apart. I still sometimes go to my closet thinking I'll wear my black t-shirt and then realize I no longer have it.
But the best part of the evening wasn't the shopping or making fun of the sales guy in Haverty's (because we would never do that!), it was the company. Women need other female friends. Friends they can laugh and joke with and be themselves with. Both Linda and I are transplants to Tennessee. She and her family moved here just over a year ago from Michigan. We all know it can be hard to make new friends, friends we are truly comfortable with, but I'm happy to say I've found one in Linda.
