Alright. So I’ve been in a little computer avoidance mood. Can you blame me?? The final grades have come in and mercifully I have survived with my 4.0 GPA intact. Hooah!! The girls and I have been taking a break. We only really have a week of complete summer laziness before the traveling frenzy begins. And the week…it’s not that lazy.
Shopping yesterday…. that put a serious dent in the pocket book. A few more items to get tomorrow and we are all done. We spent a small fortune in Old Navy, which still surprises me. Last year you couldn’t have paid my daughter to shop in Old Navy. Hot Topic was more her style. Now, she’s changed and her styles includes a lot of Old Navy type clothes. Not that she dresses anything like those little preppies in the commercials. Nope, not her. She takes some black mid calf pants, layers some tanks, then puts on her intentionally mismatched ankle sock and her beat up, drawn on with markers converse and she’s good to go. Throw on the ever present black hoodie jacket, some earrings, a bracelet or two, some oversized shades or her BDU cap and she’s ready to go. One thing I have to say about both my girls, they are certainly individual! Love that about them.
Yesterday was an important day ~ Hubby and I celebrated 20 years married. Huzzah! The children were great…. they planned prepared and cooked a special dinner with an Anniversary cake. They cleaned the dining room and kitchen, set the table with a nice tablecloth, depression glass dishes and linen napkins. It was lovely. Dinner was awesome, Asian pork ribs with asparagus and noodles. GREAT!! I’ve got pics I’ll post later… when I feel like waking up stairs and uploading them…. hmmmm… maybe tomorrow — hahahhahahhaaa
Spent a few hours at the beach today. It felt so good. The sand and sun were warm, the water was cool and refreshing and the rhythm of the waves and the blowing breeze was extremely relaxing. I think I might have to take a nap, I’m so relaxed I could fall asleep at the keyboard!!
I’m off to read and comment. Have a great evening!
What store is the example of your style?

:goodjob:woohoo on the grades!! Awsome job!!! And also Happy Anniversary! thats so sweet of the kids to do that:)any store will do that has jeans and tshirts thats about what i wear all the time. have a great day!
DEFINITELY Old Navy. :goodjob: I love their tanks, tees, and hoodies! I have a hard time getting their pants to fit me right, but I love the mid-calf capris. I also love to find a good consignment shop! The BEST one ever closed a few years back, and I was sad. I found so many good bargains in there…
If you get tired of waiting for that Jeep layout, let me know! I can try and make ya one.
OH my goodness! I completely FORGOT to say “CONGRATS” on your grades, AND on your 20th wedding anniversary! How wonderful – and how special that your girls put together such a marvelous dinner. Here’s to at least 20 more!:sunny:
CONGRATULATIONS on that 4.0!!! Keep up the good work! Same thing on the wedding anniversary – 20 years says you are doing something right.
WTG!
My style? Hmmm, I think maybe CJ Banks, although I can’t afford their stuff unless it’s on sale. I am mostly a jeans and comfy top person, along with my Birks, but when I have to dress up, it’s loose dresses, or denim skirts or jumpers, for the most part.
:goodjob:Way to go on the grades. My son is very much into Hot Topic, but those pants he buys they cost a lot of bucko. So I wish he would find another store, hehe.
Lane Bryant, or Talbot is my style.
I love Old Navy. Can’t get son to shop there though cause he thinks it’s too girlie. Congrats on the anniversary. We are going for 16 in July. Son will be in L.A. so we might take a jaunt over to San Fran. Woo Hoo. That was sweet of the girls to do that. Aren’t kids great? Great job on the 4.0. Ah the beach. (jealousy is setting in LOL). I do miss the beach up here in No. Cal.
Thank you for coming by and letting me know that you can’t see the slide show… that just means that something is going on with rockyou.com or with xanga changing their codes… have a great day… and come by anytime…
WTG what a blessing!!! :goodjob: Dress Barn
Congratulations on 20 years! I’ll be on the beach in one week! I’m pumped.

My son still likes Hot Topic, but most of his tees come from the ComicCon and online shops. Myself, working for good ole JCP, most of my things come from there. Good thing styles this year include aging hippie clothes!
