There were 6 of us a dinner and I was the only one present who either didn't own or had not read Fifty Shades of Grey. Two of the women owned the book because their husbands had bought it for them but they had not read the book yet. The other women said it was a very fun read. I broke down and bought it for my Kindle two nights ago. I only read the first few pages. It's fine so far; not great writing but my friends had warned me that it's not literature.
After dinner we headed over to our 8pm movie. In the lobby was a short man in a Spiderman costume. The kids are really into superheros lately so I took a picture with him. Sorry it's so blurry. Check out my yellow $9.99 maxi dress that I got from Ross.
The movie was just okay. The stripping/dancing scenes were worth the price of admission but the acting was rather awful. It was fun to have a girls night out, I hadn't done that in a while.
After the movie, 4 of us got frozen yogurt at Yogli Mogli. It replaced what had been an awesome Coldstone Creamery across the street from the movie theater. At Yogli Mogli, we selected the cup we wanted, filled our cup with as much frozen yogurt that we wanted, selected the toppings and then paid based on the total weight. There were a lot of flavors to choose from but I tried and really liked the thin mint. We sat and chatted until around 11pm then we all headed to our cars and drove home.
Sunday, we visited Roger's college friend Wendy who lives around 45 minutes from us in Norcross, it's considered part of the Atlanta Metropolitan area. We got to her new house around 11am. The house was a foreclosure and she got a great deal. There is a really nice deck in the back and Cleo and Sidney enjoyed selecting which twigs they wanted to take home with them. I did not let them take any home. We spent the afternoon with her. Around 4pm, the 5 of us headed to the Golden Corral that was around a 10 minute drive from her house. Golden Corral now offers cotton candy. Cleo had 2 servings. She loves cotton candy and other fair food like that - big soft pretzels, snow cones, etc.
We headed home after the Golden Corral.
I recently treated myself to a cute necklace. Sorry I have no idea how to rotate the picture.
Tomorrow, I am heading to Macon, GA for some meetings at YKK USA, one of my company's subsidiaries. Macon is around 1.5 hours south of Atlanta. I hope to be back in the office by 4:30pm so that I can grab my car and go pick up Cleo and Sidney from daycare. Speaking of cars, we recently paid off our black Volvo. It took 6 years but we did it. We received the title in the mail yesterday. It feels like quite an accomplishment to actually own something.
Last week, we refinanced the silver Volvo. I spoke to Wellsfargo last week and they offered me a lower rate than I was paying on the silver Volvo. So, Wellsfargo gave me a check to pay off Carmax and I will now make payments to Wellsfargo. Our monthly payment has been reduced by $200!
This Saturday from 3-6pm, Cleo, Sidney and I (and possibly Roger) are going to Cleo's classmate Brookelyn's younger sister's (Lauryn) 2nd birthday party. Cleo and I attended Lauryn's 1st birthday party last year. This year, Cleo's best bestie Alexandria is going as is her twin brother Quinton. Sunday, we will likely go to church then school supplies shopping for Cleo. Her school's supplies list is posted on her school's not so helpful website.
This week, we bought Cleo her uniforms. She can wear any type of khaki bottoms and has to wear navy or hunter green tops. She can wear patterned long sleeve shirts under her short sleeve tops or patterned knee socks (when it's cooler, of course). We got her 6 long sleeve shirts (3 navy, 3 hunter green), 6 short sleeve shirts (3 navy, 3 hunter green), 2 jumpers, and 5 skorts. I cannot believe that she starts kindergarten on August 6. She's ready; I am not ready.
I will take some photos of the kids this weekend and post them.
