Spa, shopping and dinner with the girls tomorrow

by

I’m getting together with a few of my girlfriends tomorrow. I’ve been on the phone all evening it seems putting together an interesting weekend.

We’re going to meet downtown for lunch and then we all have appointments for facials at a spa. Sounds good? Uh huh. Then if we aren’t too relaxed after our time in the spa we’re going to go down to the fashion district and shop till we drop!

I just have to try to keep one of my friends out of office furniture supplies stores! LOL She just got a new job managing an office -actually setting up the business – so I’m sure she’ll have work on her mind since she’s responsible for buying all the furniture and supplies they need to set up shop.

Once we’ve finished shopping we have reservations at a fantastic french restaurant. I haven’t been there for a long time so I’m really looking forward to dinner. Then we’ll see how the rest of the evening goes.

I have a feeling I’ll be sleeping in on Sunday!

Trying to find a special gift for a friend

by

I have to find the perfect gift for one of my friends. She’s turning 30 this month and I want to get her something special.

The problem is that I have no idea where to start. She’s a bit of a fashion hound so I thought I might get her a designer purse … but that’s probably out of my price range.

She also really likes horses. She rides regularly, so I thought that perhaps getting her horse tack might make an ideal present. I know it would be a little unusual, but it’s the best idea I have right now and I think she’d love it.

Any idea for a fashion loving horse affectionado?

I’m the advisor for my group of friends

by

I think I’m the group adviser for all of my friends. They are always calling me up to ask me for advice.

They’re always asking me things like “What would you do in this situation” or asking me advice about their relationships or worse their health problems asking questions like “what are the best weight loss supplements?” and so on.

I guess I get a lot of health related questions because I’m a nurse … but the rest? I don’t know. I guess they think I’m a good listener. I think I give fairly good advice, but as you can probably guess most people don’t take the advice they get – even when they asked for it. LOL

Are you the “therapist “for your group of friends or do you have a friend that you always turn to to ask for advice?

Are you ready for Summer?

by

I can’t believe that May is already half over! In just a little over a month it will be summer.

Ahhhhh!

I’m not ready! I’ve been trying to get in shape and lose a few pounds before summer arrives and while I’ve had a bit of success it’s not quite as much as I’d like. Hmmm maybe I should try some phentermine for quick weight loss?

Nah … I’d never do that. I’m a diet and exercise girl all the way. I guess I just have to do more if I want to be ready for those pool and hot tub parties that are coming up.

Are you ready for summer?

Sometimes I hate shopping I really do

by

This probably isn’t the best thing for me to say on a blog named Shopping Maniac … but sometimes I HATE shopping.

Honestly …

Ok sometimes I like it. You know on those rare days when you go into a store and you find some beautiful clothes on the rack and when you try them on they actually fit correctly and look fabulous on you? You can’t lose on those days, but those days are too few and far between for me. Or maybe I’m just too picky. LOL

Earlier today my husband and were out shopping in a few stores and as far as I’m concerned shopping on a Saturday is the worst. I hate the crowds and I dislike rude people that

1. try to skip ahead of you in line,
2. walk into you or bump into you with their shopping cart
3. Get to the cashier and suddenly pull out their change collection to pay a 75 bill.
3. Sales people that either try to sell you things you aren’t interested in, or that really could care less because they hate their job and you because you’re making them work

I could go on, but you get the picture.

We were in a store earlier today and pretty much all of those things happened to us within 15 minutes! LOL This man was in Costco and he was buying some product – something the cashier had to call out over the mic for a price check like “I need a price on ls2208 at cash 8” several times. Then when the cashier finally got the correct price the man pulled out change to pay for it! A lot of change!

Hopefully my next shopping trip is better … maybe one of those really good days where you want to buy everything because it’s all perfect.

What do you hate most about shopping?
