What a weekend!
As you may have read last week, (if you didn't...why not? You need to start here then come back.) we were road tripping!
There are a few prerequisites to one of our girl road trips.
1. No guys allowed. No sons, husbands or boyfriends (especially DB boyfriends).
2. Comfy shoes are a must. The Mall of America is huge. You don't need a blister to ruin your shopping.
3. No diets allowed. We eat what we want, when we want, and puke if you want to keep eating. No, we are not bulimic! So be quiet. Don't say that you don't wish you could do this.
5. NO DRAMA. We are women. This can take an inordinate amount of effort at times.
Our Saturday started out early. We were both up at 6:30 am. Normally we leave really, really, really early. We are usually on the road by 6. However, we had to stop at the outlet mall on the way and that doesn't open until 10 am. And in the world of shopping, timing is everything!
We stopped at Tobies for breakfast. Healthy? Not so much. Good? EXTREMELY!
For the record. We each ate one...the custard one? We saved that for our 1:30 am snack when we got out of the casino. So we weren't huge piggies.
Next stop. Outlet Mall.
Bath & Bodyworks. Seriously, if you don't have an outlet B&BW...you don't know what you are missing. 50-75% off lotions, sprays, candles. Yes, please and thank you. We spent $53. Of course, we had to add up the real cost of what we bought.
Just in case. Just in case I have to justify the charge to my dear hubby.
"But honey, if we would have gone to the normal store, it would have been $143. It was a bargain!"
Next up...Mall of America. This will have to wait. I have to work. To pay for my road trip.
Stay tuned.
