Trying to get through the day with just a little piece of happiness...

Monday, August 20, 2007
Blue and I went up to Rockport for the weekend. We headed up on Friday night, and came back on Sunday around noon. Just a short visit, but it was good to see my mom and Andrea and the cats. The weather was pretty chilly so going to the beach was out, and I suggested going shopping instead. I hate shopping alone, but I enjoy it with them. We headed to the mall and hit Macy's, J. Jill and the Gap among others. I also went to the Apple Store and played around with an iPhone and tried to send Sweetie and e-mail from it, but got his e-mail address wrong (duh).

At Macy's I bought a new Definicils mascara from Lancome and a Clinique lipstick. My mascara was running low so I needed to restock, but of course you know I didn't need a lipstick. But I found this really cool color - Silvery Plum - and bought it. I wore it today, and it's really pretty. I really needed some bras, and I was SO happy to have my mom with me for bra shopping. I like nice lingerie, but trying on bras gets old fast. She gave good moral support and helpful opinions about the fit. I ended up finding 4 good ones. I also bought a summery dress at J. Jill and a winter dress at the Gap.

I got a strawberry slushie / smoothie type thing and then we headed home. On the way, we stopped and picked up a pizza at Papa Gino's. We ate while watching the Yankees game (Mom and Andrea are Yankees fans). Afterward, we watched some of the Red Sox game (and then I watched the Suze Orman show, which I love). I'm a Red Sox fan and it was great to see Big Papi hit a grand slam! I get all caught up on sports when I visit. My sister had taught me all sorts of things about baseball and knows way more about the Red Sox than I do even though she's a Yankees fan.

The visit was brief, but it was good to get some time with my peeps, and it was also good for Mom to get some dog time. She really loves dogs and Blue is quite love-y and entertaining. One of the cats, Woody, and he get along very well. Woody can be really nasty and my mom is always saying how bad she is, but she is an amazingly cute kitty. She's practically irresistable, although she might scratch you if she's in a bad mood. Here is a shot of Her Mighty Cuteness. Now is that cat cute or is that cat cute?



Speaking of cats, today is Trinka's 15th (!) birthday. Happy birthday Trinka!
