On the 25th I walked into sally's beauty supply to shop for the first time. I picked up a few items and got my sally's card, you would have thought it was a credit card lol I contained my happiness until I got back in the van. I was already on the sally's site so all I had to do was enter the information on the card into my acct and when I did they told me the card was expired so of course I sent an email to sally's so they could straighten it out. I don't understand how it could be expired and I used it twice, the sticker clearly states that I have to renew the card in Nov 2014. So glad I keep my receipts of everything I buy!!
My sister Lynda picked me up and we shopped in Ross, Dollar Tree, Dollar General, Michael's and of course Sally's again. Then we went out to eat. She treated me to Captain D' s. We talked, laughed and had a wonderful day.
The family reunion was great, it was so nice breaking bread with everyone and knowing that everyone there was my family, there was so many of us and my grandma was there as well. I was elated. I didn't pig out as planned but just had a little tbsp of what I loved best.
It was wonderful seeing faces that I haven't seen in over 30 years.
My sister Betty was off this Friday due to the holiday so we did some more shopping at the stores I mentioned before, she also treated me to a restaurant called The Shrimp Boat and their butterfly shrimp was great!
The time to leave came too quick but my nephew Geno made sure we hung out and had fun before I boarded the train. We had a nephew auntie date. We went to see best man holiday and we laughed and I cried a little bit lol. We left there and went to Chili's where I had a blackberry patron margarita and Spicey shrimp tacos that came with seasoned rice and black beans. I was in heaven!. We proceeded to my nephews house where him and his wife live and they gave me a beautiful shawl as a gift. I'm in love with it and can't wait to wear it.
We chilled out for a little while and then he drove me to the station, by this time those drunken blackberries had kicked in lol.
The train pulled in and he helped me with my luggage onto the train, gave me a hug and a kiss and told me he would see me next time. The train ride was long and I had a nice lady sitting next to me, we got along just fine. That next morning I found out about the derailment on the metro north train and some of my family called me because they thought I was on that train and I explained to then that I wasn't I was on Amtrak.
My train pulled in on time on Sunday but on Monday I had to hit the ground running because I had a Dr appt. We talked about hip replacement surgery and I saw the xrays of the damage. From what he tells me it will only get worse but I don't think I need to do surgery right now, so he wants me to lose about 15 pounds then we can revisit the surgery thing. I already know that at some point I am going to have to do this, I just don't want to do it right now.
Since I did alot of nail related shopping I am going to put up another youtube video of the things I purchased. My nails aren't looking too cute right now so I am going to do them first, then do the video lol.
I know this was a long post but I had so much fun in Atlanta that I had to write about it. My family would love to have me down there but I have to really think on that on, I am getting ready to turn 50 and I still have a few things to do yet.
~peace~
