High Time
Earlier in the week Andy mentioned that he had Friday off and a friend of his was coming up to go golfing during the day and would I like to have a girls’ night out later while they stayed home with the kids?
Um, excuse me, are you my husband? Because I’m pretty sure you just turned into Santa Claus.
(If you’re wondering how on earth a mostly-normal, reasonable man would volunteer for such a tremendously exciting Friday night, I should also tell you that his friend planned on bringing his Xbox. Whatever that is.)
(Men.)
So I got on the phone, posthaste, and talked two of my friends into dinner and shopping with me last night.
And, since I’m a fair friend, I told Nicky if she didn’t want to spend any money, she was welcome to sit and wait for us in the car.
I’m very thoughtful, I know.
After dinner we browsed Ann Taylor Loft and all three of us found some good deals. (So no, she didn’t take me up on my car-sitting offer.)
At World Market, I found a few fresh tea towels (because mine were just sad). I bought this green one on top:

And this bicycle/flower shop/Arc de Triomphe one on top:
And then I came home and found this, which made me fall on the floor laughing:
My living room rearranged to accommodate Xbox Fest 2009.

I love that last shot. Where were the kids? Surely not in bed already.
Ha ha!
You just can’t think about what may be happening while you’re away. Deal with it when you return. Enjoy the freedom while you can. Glad you got a night out with your friends!
That sounds so fun! Glad you got a night out. :)
Thanks for the pictures, I had a fun time too.
Love the pic of Andy and Josiah having moved the sofa! And all the stuff on the floor that was UNDER the sofa LOL, looks like what you might find under one of mine :o)
Ok, those towels are super cute. I might have to go check out that store myself…hmmm.
Xbox Fest 09 sounds like a huge success. Hey, as long as their comfortable….
Very nice! Love the new furniture arrangement!
That was sweet of your husband, and you found some cute stuff. LOVE the green tea towel!
Oh yeah, I am familiar with the furniture moving. WHenever we have people over to watch football, my place always gets rearranged.
But kudos to Andy for such a nice gesture :)
Very small price to pay (the sofa moving, not the $) for those oh-so-cute towels.
And if my by chance my daughter reads this, those towels would make a great gift.
BAH! That is so funny. I am glad that you were able to enjoy an evening away! Doesn’t sound like there was too much destruction, otherwise I am sure you would have included it in your story! :)
I LUV your new tea towel…why? Because it is EXACTLY the same as my nursing cover. Loving choc brown and green brocade :)
And as for XBOX 09? Ditto over here…
