I had a busy weekend. Got together with my 3 sisters & 2 of my niece's Friday afternoon & evening. I met them at Crate & Barrel where they were buying gifts for the niece's shower on Sunday. Then we went to several stores looking for dresses for the wedding. No luck at that shopping center....it's high end & anything I liked was more $$$ than I want to spend. We went to a consignment store next. I tried on several things there. Nothing that fit me would was what I had in mind for the wedding. I did find a really cute navy jumpsuit & a pair of navy wedge shoes that had to come home with me 😊 They will be cute to wear out to dinner. My sister found a cute floral jumpsuit, too. We went for dinner at Cheeky Taqueria. I was hungry by then cause I hadn't had lunch...just a granola bar. The chips & salsa went down really well! I decided on the Taco Trio & chose the crab cake, spicy fish & street chicken flavors. It came with 2 sides & for those I picked street corn & black beans. My eyes were definitely bigger than my stomach. I ate one taco (crab) & started to feel full. I picked the filling out of the fish taco & a bit of the chicken. I could only eat half of the sides. I was too full! We went back to my sister's place & hung out for a bit before I headed home.
Saturday Hubby & I went to the Gym after breakfast. I made a quick stop to buy a couple of cards & gift wrap. We went by the Kennel where we're planning to board our dogs in September. Our usual spot is totally booked due to that week being fall break for the school kids. We had to look for another place.
Sunday I met my sisters again & we made a quick stop on the way to the shower for one of my sisters to look at some shoes. Then on to the Shower. It was held at the oldest building in downtown Alpharetta, Ga., where they've opened a venue for proper English tea parties. It was great fun having Tea with all the standard fare.
We went to my sister's place again afterwards. My Sister (next after me) had bought 3 potential dresses for the Wedding & she tried them all on so we could give our opinion. We decided on the one that was our favorite (& her's). I tried one of them on but even though it fit, it wasn't exactly what I had in mind. A little later she said I think I might have one you'll like in my closet. I tried it on & I think it may be perfect. It' a pretty shade of blue...aquamarine I'd call it...knee length, sleeveless, fitted with a draped neckline. It fits me like a glove. I brought it home & I'll look for shoes to match. So that's that 😊
Driving home, I got stuck for maybe 20 to 30 minutes. There were about 10 cars ahead of me, not moving. The road was curvy and I couldn't see what was happening up ahead. I did see 3 big electrical trucks moving in the left lane when I first stopped. I finally got up my nerve to maneuver my car around to turn around & go back in the other direction to take a different route home. I looked on Facebook to see if there was a mention of what was happening. The sheriff's department had announced an accident that took out a power pole. Comments said Drunk driver, not injured but arrested. Someone else commented they were expecting the repair to take til midnight. That was about 8 PM. Glad I got out of there when I did!
Since it was later than expected when I got home we had tuna sandwiches & chips. I'd already made a quick stop @ Kroger for a few things before the accident held me up.
Gym today. Our trainer, who is on vacation, actually texted each of us a chart of what exercises/ machines we should do today.
I had thought we'd cook the Flatiron steak I'd defrosted for dinner but Hubby requested the frozen pizza I'd bought instead. Steak tomorrow.
This has turned into a book. Heading up to bed 🛌 😴
