Saturday was a fun day, though. I got up with Ari in the morning, took her to Mom's, and then came back home. Tony and I headed up to Pastor and Dawn's house, and that was where the girls and guys parted ways. Dawn and I picked up Kerry and the three of us went to Olive Garden for lunch. We ended up staying there for over 2 hours--we just sat there chatting, not even noticing the clock. Finally, it was Dawn who glanced around and said, "Uh, it's getting busy in there--maybe we should give up our table." That was when we looked at our watches and were amazed to see how much time had passed.
We ended up not going to the purse store I was talking about--apparently, it was closed. They said last time they were there, they had seen some kind of notice about how the place would be closed for about a month. So I guess we'll have to go there some other time.
We went to the mall instead and did some window-shopping. And some real shopping too. At Old Navy, I got this sweater (just picture it in cream instead of gray) for only $7...
I also grabbed one of their Valentine T-shirts. Every year they make a few Valentine-themed shirts for only $5 each, and for some reason, I love them. I already have 2 from previous years, and now I have a new one--pink, with a fuzzy-looking red heart on one shoulder that says (what else?) "Old Navy" inside (couldn't find a picture online, so you'll have to use your imagination).
After we were done shopping, we met up with the guys and all 6 of us drove down to the casino for dinner. Instead of eating at the buffet like we usually do, we went to an actual restaurant, and the food was great. Afterwards, we wandered around, and Tony and I won $90 on the slots. We were psyched because we never do well on slots--and hey, who doesn't get excited about extra money? After we had walked off our dinner a little, we got some ice cream for dessert, then headed home.
So it was a long day, but a fun one. And one thing that made it even better was the fact that I was wearing my "skinny jeans." For a few days last week, my scale was reading 130, and finally, on Friday AND Saturday, it was hovering just below 130. I was thrilled because I have been stuck just above 130 for what seems like forever. I told Tony that I might need to make a little shopping trip in the near future for another pair of jeans. I really only have 2 pairs of jeans that look decent, and one of them is getting really old and worn-out looking. And as much as a part of me wants to wait to shop until I've lost just 5, or 10, more pounds, the more logical side of me says I need some new jeans now, and maybe celebrating this little bit of weight loss with a new pair of jeans will be just the motivation I need to keep being good.
Of course, we went out for lunch yesterday (with a gift card, so it was free) and I got a decadent dessert--some kind of chocolate peanut butter pie. It was so good... and hey, and girl's got to indulge once in a while, right?

I like the sweater--I think it would look good in cream. And yay for skinny jeans! I don't have any skinny jeans I can wear. Have I mentioned that I don't like maternity jeans? I have a pair from Kohl's that start sagging after taking two steps. People told me that they would stay up once I got bigger. Well, I'm bigger, and no such luck. I also have a pair from Motherhood, and they are a little better. They have a wider panel, so that helps them stay up better, but they are not very roomy and stretchy, so they can be uncomfortable to lounge around in.
Josh and I went to Olive Garden the other day, and we've decided that we just don't care for it anymore. You pay a higher price, but the food we got was just average. The salad and breadsticks are still good, but I told him if I ever go there again, i'll stick with old-fashioned spaghetti. You can't go wrong with that.
Ariana was a little angel for us on Saturday! Glad you had such a fun day!
