Second Attempt

I know that this blog is supposed to be every day but I've been going through some things lately that have been bringing me pretty down & unable to follow-through with things. I would like to try to start up again but I request some patience and support from my readers (that's you!).

Thank you all.

Kate Spins & Twirls!

So yesterday, October 2nd, I went shopping with my mom & 1 of my sisters to find a Freshman Homecoming dress for this upcoming Saturday. She tried on a few dresses and I brought my camera (2 weren't even photo worthy) just in case we needed to go to different stores & needed to refer back to some.

Overall, I think we all had a lot of fun. It was nice having a girl's day with my mom & one of my sisters and we had an opportunity to chat and eat an Auntie Anne's pretzel! YUM!!

This one was okay but not quite right.

I don't understand the zebra print but this one was not very good.

Runner up

The dress that looked great on the hanger but hung lifeless on someone with curves.

The PERFECT dress!

It was pretty fun! I tried to stay focused and grounded in the present and just be a little silly. It worked! I laughed and made my mom laugh and shake her head. 

I'll be sure and take some photos of the finished product (hair, makeup and everything else) on Homecoming night!  Kate has asked me to do her nails! :)

I hope you enjoyed this edition of Love Every Day.  I'm going to try and keep up with it.  Hopefully, it will help me out of this funk.

I Love My Mom

I don't know about you but I love my mom!!  I took Monday off to go to the doctor & spend time with my mom.  She was wonderful enough to drive me there & take me home & then we both spent some time together. 

My new driver's license!

We got my Illinois driver's license (FINALLY) at the Illinois Secretary of State's office.  I have lived in Illinois for a few years now and have been slacking on getting my driver's license updated.

Afterwards, we walked around the mall for a little while & stopped at the Apple store to see if they had any iPad 2 in stock for Mike (they didn't) and ended up eating lunch at PF Chang's.  It was pretty good.  I recommend getting the chicken lettuce wraps - they were SO good.

I love my mom!

I had a good time!

I hope you have an opportunity to spend the day with someone you love & enjoy some GREAT food!
