I hope that your birthdays were spectacular!!! Ana did you get your bubble bath & book ? Glad to hear that your day was so good;) Amber I would ask if you got your Digi Rebel but already know you got it before!

Happy Monday ya'll! I was kidnapped yesterday by my 3 sisters and Mother! We went Christmas shopping in Fargo,ND. What a blast!!! LOL poor Mis Maliss ( my sista Melissa we call Missy). We rode in one vehicle together while the other 3 were in another. Had to have two vehicles for lots of gifts, right! She is amazing to put up with me. I tell ya at one point I just about cried!!! OMG I had the worst day of all. Well clothes related that is.

I was wearing a beautiful brown and pink sweater. Has snowflakes, sequins and small flowers. Sounds ugly but it is SO cool! Well I had on a pair of matching pink slacks. And all the tidbits to go with it. So the first incident happened when we went to eat lunch. OMG I had a steak that I was trying to cut. When a chunk went flying off my plate onto my light pink slacks. Ahhhhhhhh!!!! OMG!!! How friggin embarassing! There was a huge table of hot young guys next to us. Needless to say I had several huge spots of grease on the front of my pink pants.

The second incident was at the gas station. I was trying to get our "empty" or so I thought cans of soda out of the vehicle to put in the trash. Well my one hand hit the stearing wheel. Knocking one of the cans out of my hand and onto my lap. I gasped. My sister said OMG!! I looked at her and said I want to just cry. We laughed! I then picked up the can and to my amazement it had not "yet" spilled on the pink pants. I said I cannot believe it didn't get on the pants. Boy what a jinx! The can was UPSIDE down!!! So as I continue to pick up off my lap. It spilled a partially filled can of soda.

Well to spill "just" on my pant legs wasn't enough. It had to spill in between my legs and onto the seat. Well damn those leather seats that let liquid just flow to the lowest point on the seat. Yep you guessed it I now had soda on my ARS!!!!!!!!! At that time yes I turned to my sista and said "I am having the worst luck today" and got a few tears!! The great sista she is said "well that just means we have to buy you a new pair of pants;)" And "Don't worry no one will even notice" ROFLMAO!!!! Ya right no one will notice.

Thank goodness I had one of my peacoats with me (matching of course). I put it on and went in to pay for my gas. And of course get some stinkin CHOCOLATE after the incident.

So I got a pair of jeans that looked cute with the sweater. I couldn't find anything to go perfectly with my sweater. So jeans it was. The girl was so nice. I asked if I could take the tags off and wear them out and pay for them that way. Due to my messy pants. LOL she looked shockingly at me and said "excuse me". I repeated. She said "uh, um, well......pause" I repeated my incidents and how bad my pink pants are underneath my peacoat and said I will show you if you want, but it is REALLY embarassing!!! She said "sure go right ahead" What a doll!!!

So we continue shopping. I go up to the checkout counter. And forgot to tell the lady the loose price tag was for the jeans I was wearing. She just about threw it away. OMG! And I said NO that tag is for the jeans I am wearing. LOL. She was a bait confused! And said so what am I to do with the tag? I said scan it so I may pay for it! She said do you know how many people would have just walked out without paying? I shockingly said do you think I was going to do that? Cause that is why the tag was on top of the pile...so I may pay for them.

She said no I am not saying you were going to do that. Its just a matter of fact that most wouldn't. I said WELL I am certainly not like MOST people!! So I paid for my stuff and my jeans. Walked out to the parking lot and couldn't find my keys...astro start...so we couldn't see where we parked. LOL OMG by this time I was SO ready to go home!!!

But my sista and I still had to find my niece "Madelyn" her Christmas outfit. (Helping her Mom out who is going through some difficult times with her DH, oh wait he isn't a dear so it would be hmmm, um well lets just call him her H much nicer than what I am thinkin;) ) So we search Baby Gap, Baby Gymboree, Herbergers, Marshall Fields, and nothing. Then we head to Old Navy a couple miles away. And we found the cutest little dress...red/black/white plaid to go with the 3 sisters outfits we bought earlier. She will look so adorable!!

Will save the story of my BIL in my next entry....lets just say that I HOPE he goes away for a long time!!!!

OH BTW how was your day? LOL!
