Our Dress-Hunting Expedition

As promised, here I am :) And what a day I've had...

Last week my friend (and fellow Stennis wife) Kisha and I
had talked about going to the Supermall in Auburn to dress
shop, but somehow I forgot that that was happening today.
I woke to a text from her at 9:30am asking if I was ready
to go shopping. I wasn't, but I'm not the kind of girl
that turns down a shopping trip! We left here a little
after 11am to start our dress-hunting expedition. It was
not a successful expedition, unfortunately. Out of all
those stores neither of us could find that perfect dress.
I have an idea of what I want to look like in my head, but
it so far hasn't come to fruition.

Since the Supermall wasn't working out, we left there and
tried the Tacoma Mall... Still nothing. For the past
couple weeks I've had my eye on this really cute maxi
dress at Hollister. It's halter-style, navy blue with a
big Hawaiian floral pattern in white and olive green. The
Hollister in our mall sold out of my size a few days ago,
so I pretty much figured it wasn't meant for me to have
it. But the Tacoma Mall store still had one. I figured
that was a sign that it was okay for me to get it :) It's
not THE DRESS, it's just a cute casual dress. Worst come
to worst if I can't find the right dress at least I've got
one to fall back on. It's very flattering. I love the way
I look in it, it just isn't as dressy as I want for that
special day :)

The kids were exhausted when we got home. It didn't take
much to get them in bed and asleep. Kiki managed to get
herself lost in the Tacoma Mall for a few minutes. While I
was trying on the dress she wandered away from Kisha and
out into the mall where security picked her up. She was
returned to me in less than 10 minutes but the ordeal
traumatized her a little. Hopefully that's all she'll need
to experience to realize that when I tell her to stay with
me, it's for a reason. Not just to be mean. Her wanderlust
is going to get her in trouble one of these days if the
habit isn't curtailed now... Ciao.
