Steph celebrated her birthday on Sunday! Happy Birthday! How many trips around the sun does that make for her now?Since her husband is notoriously unreliable in the gift-giving category (his heart is in the right place but execution is sometimes lacking), she decided to minimize her risk and blow a wad of cash on herself at Nordstrom's, partnered with a "style consultant" whose sole function is pinpointing clothes and shoe combinations that look dynamite on the buyer. Ostensibly the real goal of her excursion was updating her professional wardbrobe before starting the big new job, but the coincidence with the birthday damages her credibility.
Since the movers are coming Wednesday and we haven't yet spent one moment preparing, Todd remained home organizing and redistributing various items. Not completely oblivious to the date--and with some much appreciated assistance from upstairs neighbor Gayle--he successfully procured a gift and card for Steph's Big Day and we later dined at nearby fancy-ish restaurant Sola that evening.

You must remember that when it comes to shopping/spending/updating of wardrobes, women need no excuse. Money and time are of no consequence. You are but a pawn in the game of life, live with it!

Happy Birthday (again), Stephanie! Hey, you're a girl after my own heart! It rained all day Wednesday and we wanted something to do. We went out to buy me some shoes, but they didn't have my size, so Bob bought a pair for himself for about $95. We then proceeded to Dilliard's where I had no trouble finding about $500 worth of great stuff. Bob thought it wasn't fair. But I explained that I was disappointed about not finding shoes. I'm not sure he "got it", but I was sure happier. It made perfect sense to me!
