dreamgrl's Journal

Yesterday was a blast!!!! The kids are changing so fast!!! They are growing into young adults and into such different people, something unique and special and different about each one of them. It was so special to just go off by myself with Cassie and just shop and talk and go out to lunch with no particular schedule!! We haven't did that forever!!! It meant sooooo much!! Just to see her laugh and smile with her dimples and be her fun-loving little self and joke with me, and roll her eyes at some of my tastes when I would come out of the dressing rooms or the same when she would come out of the dressing room and I would laugh at her!!!!! It was WONDERFUL!!! Chelsey and I use to go off and do stuff like that all the time when she was between 14 and 16, but Cassie has never really be into shopping until recently, I am soooooooooo glad. I love spending time with her!!! She is so fun- loving and just such a laid- back and quiet, little person, but yet VERY oppioninated at the same time!!! She is also creative, but can she shop!!!! We spent 3 or 4 hours at the mall and I don't think we missed to many stores and we EVEN BACKED TRACKED to a few and then we went to about 4 department stores after the mall and then in between, we stopped and had a mid-day dinner at a nice restaurant and then BACK to shopping and then we had to go to a big craft store becuz she likes to make stuff and we spent FOREVER in the craft store that was the SIZE  of a mall!!! lol!!! Did I tell you this is the child that is in track and cross crountry and runs miles and miles all the time, ( and I wore flats, like flip flops and NOT tennis shoes!!! what a moron!!!! LOL) I looked at her once and said, I thought you didn't like to shop, she said, Oh, well that was when I "wasn't really skinny and now I am and I have a JOB AND HAVE A LOT OF MONEY MOM, DAHHHHH!!!! you aren't tired mom, becuz I still have alot of shopping to do??????" Ofcoarse, I say, oh no, I'm fine, I thought you might be getting wore out Cassie!!! LOL!!! MORON again!!!!! Well, I found a few items of clothings for fall for work, but didn't like alot of things, becus we can dress very casual at my office, when I say casual, I mean -jeans!! and nices shirts, sweaters and nices shoes!!! Unless, of coarse, we have businesses in our offices and then we have to dress business wear, but I still needed a few new items, but everything is so teenie bop or old ladyish ( no offense met to the teen population or over 60 population, met, though), so, it was a struggle, and it has been for ever since I was shopping, so we were on one side of the city, and then, ended up on the other side and I finally found some jeans. Did I tell you we left about 11:00 AM and ended up home at about 11:30PM!!!!!!!! YAAA!! You guessed it!!!! I am exhausted!!! Some what of a headache today, but will survive!!! No regrets!!! Loved every minute of it!!! We finally got done shopping around 8:30PM and Cassie still wanted to go one more place becuz she had found her homecoming dress when we first started shopping but it was size 5-6 and was to big!!! sickening!!! and she needed a 4 and the side of the city when ended up on was suppose to have one of that store, but by the time when ended up over there, we were both ready to be done, so I promised her, will run up there one afternoon after school this week before I go back to work Thursday!!! It is closer to where I live anyway on that side of the city. So we left and hit a smaller town and still had to pick up groceries, so we did that and then headed home,we were both ready for bed by then!!!! 

Ok, one thing I like about myself. I like that I have high cheekbones and that they stand out, so it keeps my face looking more symetrical and younger!!

 To anyone that doesn't know, I am not bragging, I have a pact with one of my DS friends to end my journal everyday with one thing I like about myself becuz it's easy to always put yourself down and feel bad about yourself (which I do) but it IS ALOT HARDER TO FIND GOOD IN LIFE AND YOURSELF so we made a pact to find atleast one thing a day that we like about ourselves, whether it be appearance or personalty, I challenge everyone to this. Hopefully, over time, it will come naturally and we will like ourselves for who we are. Whether we are a little over-weight, or under-weight, too tall, too short, you name, we are trying to change our attitudes about ourselves !!! Join in!!! Also, a positive attitude is suppose to be good for health, mind and body I have been told by multiple drs!!! we'll see!!!

To Lkim - My cooking buddy and friend/ I will post another recipe tomorrow!!

Till next time, take care all. love you all, may god bless in good health and friendship!!!
