* I bought new running shoes at lunch today! It's one of those errands I put off forever because while I could take the girls along, that would also be a disaster. The sales person told me if I like these shoes, I can order them online. That would be awesome. I went with a more expensive pair than I usually do, but I"m hoping they hold up better than my shoes have been. I'm so excited I'm vaguely considering taking the girls out in the jogging stroller!
* Last weekend the girls and I checked out a local bakery that everyone raves about it. I was in the mood for a donut and that's what I promised the girls. We get there, it's tiny, and all I see for donuts are a few plain donuts. No glaze, no frosting, no nothing. Ugh. Such a disappointment. Also, why are all the good bakeries on the other side of town?
* No big updates on the dating front. I've tried to be more open when looking over guys profiles, but most of the men who contact me are older and/or don't want any more children. I have been emailing with two guys that are possibly promising and am hoping to set something up this week. We shall see. I kind of feel like I"m not in the right mind set for this, but also not sure what to do to get myself there.
* Over the next two months we have my grandfather's 85th birthday party, my grandmother's 90th birthday party, my dad's 60th birthday party and Thanksgiving. Not to mention any other holiday gatherings that come up in December. The girls have a sweater dress/legging outfit and then corduroy dresses that should cover most of the events. They need Christmas dresses, but otherwise are set. I've been enamored with sweater dresses since I was pregnant and was going to get a cute one to wear as well. I'm just not sure it's a good idea to match my girls that closely though. Also, sweater dresses are tricky. Too thin and they show off every bump and curve, too thick and they add 10 lbs to your frame. Perhaps I'll stick with jeans and a nice sweater.
