Just us

On Saturday, Isabella and I ventured off on our own.  We both enjoyed our one on one time together.  To start the day, we stopped at the dealership to get an oil change for my car, in which I had an appointment at 10 a.m.  They said that they were backed up and it was going to take about an hour and a half.
So we amused ourselves by walking around the entire dealership looking at all the different cars, chasing balloons and eating some pastries.  Really?  An hour and a half wasted for an oil change but Bella and I amused ourselves and made the best of it.
Next up, Home Depot.  I wanted to take my girl to the paint section so she could pick out what colors she wanted her room to be.  Daddy is going to paint it for her.  We all know I don't have the patience for painting.  Nor am I good at it.  After she picked her colors, we strolled over to the kids workshop that they hold the first Saturday of every month at all Home Depots.  This Saturday's craft was making your own bulletin board.  The kids had to paint it, then decorate it.  We hammered it out and Iz kid waived her brush with an array of colors.  We even put her name on the back along with the year.  Yeah, I'm sentimental like that.  Dates are fun to remember.  But let's be honest, who remembers all events?   Sad to say, if I don't write it down, things become a little fuzzy.  So when she asks me, "Mom, when did I make that?"  No problem.  I GOT this.  I turn the back over and see the date and WHAM!  I have an answer for my girl.  Once completed she was issued a certificate of achievement, stickers and a pin!

After that adventure, we headed out for lunch.  There's this THAI restaurant that I have been frequently visiting for about the last 10 plus years.  Started going there before I was even 20 years old.   LOVE the owner, her SMILES, and her GREAT food.  We get the warm and fuzzies when we see each other.  It's a five star joint.  That's how much SHE ROCKS in the kitchen.  Bella and I ordered fresh spring rolls topped with plum sauce complete with carrots, cucumber, bean sprouts and tofu.  For our main course, we shared chicken pad thai.

Then, after such a yummy lunch, we came home and took a nap together.  PURE BLISS.  The end.  Next time, we going for pedicures and massages.   HA!
