Sister Night


Today is our last full day in Oregon. Krista had to work. BreAnne took the day off. We went shopping for a mother of the bride dress. Sort of a success and sort of not. I have a nice dress - that was on sale. I'm not sure I'll want to wear it in February. We'll see. 

We picked Dakota up from school - shoot - I failed at this grandmother thing - forgot my camera and missed a chance to take a photo. 

Tuesday nights are Sister Nights around here. Bre and Krista's schedules are such that they rarely see each other, though they share an apartment. Over a year ago they began having weekly Sister Nights. I love this tradition. We were happy to be here tonight for sister night......like a date night for sisters. 

Dinner at Hawaiian Time

We stopped by Ben Franklins as Bre had a wedding project she wanted to work on - going to be cute!  The rest of us found plenty of ways to fill our time. Arielle and Stacia loved the yarn....

We all got little charms and such to make jewelry. I found the little "do hickies" that go on the back of necklaces....I want to try these on sea glass.

We settled in to watch a chic flick (rare treat for 3 of us). We watched, "While You Were Sleeping."  I booked our tickets home.

The chance to reconnect and relax together after the whirlwind of the past few weeks is a treat. I like Sister Night. Stacia has been campaigning for weekly "Girls Dates" since September....maybe it's an idea whose time has come. LOL

OINK (Only in Korea)


The kids and I traveled to Korea in June and  looked for a few gifts.  This one we thought long about. We checked the quality. We checked the spelling  - we'd witnessed  Engrish and its consequences. We bought this to surprise Michael.  It fits. His name is spelled right. It's been far too hot to wear it in CA....but last week he pulled it out. 

And I noticed the mistake......OINK - only in Korea. Do you see it? 

Unless they've moved, I'm pretty sure the Spurs do not live and train in San AnTHonio. It makes for a fun memory and conversation starter. ::wink::

*OINK a termed I learned from ladies stationed in Korea but honestly you can find this in the Philippines, Japan....probably many places of the world.  I'm fairly certain our hiragana is often wrong on the shirts I see in the mall.
