We love the zoo!!! Thanks babe!!!

I WON! THANKS RITE!

Graeter's Buckeys (YUM!), book of funny animal pics (sure to make you smile), fabulous soap, gel, and lotion plus the hand loofa, back loofa, and wash-glove thingy!!! All to pamper myself with. And I did. I love it. Thank you Rite!!! You TOTALLY rock!

Picture Time!!! Yay!!!

So....a loooong time ago my awesome sis-in-law had a contest and I won!!! She sent this

Isn't she FUN?!!! Wait til you see what's in the box!

Girls Rule!!! (And we LOVE boys).

Last Friday "Twilight" came to the dollar ($3) theater. So I called up my friend, Liz and asked if she wanted to go. (Eric did not want to see it). She wanted to see it but said she had plans to go to the Gap Clearance Center with Anna.

Then we got to scheming.

She said she didn't think the Anna would mind if I went shopping with them and then we could go to "Twilight" afterward. Lucky us. Anna didn't mind AND even wanted to see "Twilight" with us!!!

So Liz picked me up. Then I hopped in the back seat when we picked Anna up. Then it was shopping time. With NO kids!!! (That is near heavenly). I actually was able to find five shirts and a pair of jeans (for myself) and spent a whopping $20.10 with tax!

Then it was off to the 9:40pm showing of "Twilight" where we got a pretty good spot to sit and shared popcorn while laughing and wondering at the movie.

We didn't get home til after midnight.

It felt SO good.

Girlfriends ROCK!!!

I don't think I'd been to a movie with girlfriends since before I was married! It was EXTREMELY refreshing to my soul to get to do that.

Thank you to my hottie/hubby for encouraging me to go, and to my great friends (and their families) for giving me a great "girls' night out".
