Anyhow...we took a couple of days away last weekend to have perfectly delightful time at the home of fellow Rowdy Girl Meg and her husband Will. If you weren't on board with my blog back in the fall, we had a grand Rowdy Girl Weekend down at the summer house in Beaufort. You can read about it here, here, and here.
We were going back to Beaufort but at the last minute Sue and Lewis couldn't come so Meg and Will graciously offered to host Hank and me in their beautiful home. We arrived Friday night and enjoyed a delicious chili supper, had a beautiful brunch on Saturday morning, and then headed to Charlotte to spend the day at South Park Mall. Our wonderful wonderful husbands followed us around for five hours, then we ate dinner at Cheesecake Factory and THEN spent another two hours backtracking to pick up a few things that we'd pondered about purchasing all day. There were some very good deals to be had so we did what we could to contribute to stimulating the economy...at least in North Carolina. That's what SOUTH Carolina gets for not have a really fabulous mall!!!
I got quite a deal on a Michael Kors bag and found the cutest Juicy Couture dress for Lorelai at a deep discount. Hank found a pair of jeans and a sweater. It sounds like we didn't think about Legare but as he called me on Friday afternoon to report that he had found several deals at the Nordstrom and Neiman Marcus near him...and charged them to MY Visa card...we didn't feel compelled to send him any surprises.
We missed Sue and Lewis....SUE...we didn't talk about you one bit...not a single time. We didn't talk about Lewis either. We'd NEVER talk about y'all when you aren't with us, just as I know that you and Meg would never EVER talk about me when I'm not around.
The Rowdy Girls ROCK!
My Mom and Grandmother all say, "home again, home again, jiggity jig!" That just made my day to read that!
ReplyDeleteI was at that mall in June. It's fabulous. Good for you for doing your part for the economy.
ReplyDeleteI found you through SITS. What a great blog!
ReplyDeleteI haven't eaten at a CF in so long. It made me salivate just reading the words...
And what wonderful husbands to backtrack with you...glad you got to treat yourselves!
Hmmm, Legare sounds like he has the Coco credit card tactics down pretty well! My poor parents!
ReplyDeleteHey, we have malls down here. Oh wait, you said good malls. My bad. You need to come down in the spring and visit the Market in the square.
ReplyDeleteOne of my Aunties always says home again, home again jiggity jig! -Brings a smile to my face just thinking about it :)
ReplyDeleteYour dear Legare must be related to my daughter somewhere along the line - or maybe that's one of the courses we are paying for in college - "how to spot a deal and charge mom's card"! Glad you had a fun weekend, sounds like a blast. Kathy
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful husbands!!
ReplyDeleteI'm so jealous you got to spend the day at South Park. We lived in York for 7 years and that's where we would go to do all our shopping! Lovebug loves it so much that's where we did our girls night to shop for back to school clothes!
ReplyDeleteMy mom always says the same thing when pulling back up in the yard from a trip... maybe it's a Southern thing!!
ReplyDeleteI always love finding good deals! it makes my day!!
ReplyDeleteLOL I'm sure it never crossed Sue's mind :) It's easy to spend a few hours in South Park. Glad you had fun and got some good deals.
ReplyDeleteIt's part of a nursery rhyme. :D
