_{^{~Groovin' With Soccamom~}}

My BBF (how's that for Jr. Hi.) and I went shopping today with our daughters. We've been friends for over 35 years and have been through a lot of good times together and, I guess, some not-so-good times, too. Strangely enough, we had our daughters 2 or 3 months apart and didn't know it but named them the same. The fact that we never planned it or spoke about things like that made it pretty strange.

Anyhow, she called me about a week or two ago and we planned this little trip to the mall. I hadn't seen her in about a year and a half and we now live about 2 hours away from each other so it was good to get together again. We have one of those cloaked rivalry friendships, so I took pains getting ready to go today. I wore an oufit that was casual, but still very eyecatching and I took pains to create the studiously "undone" look of my hair and makeup today. I shined and polished my jewelry and off we went.

We really had a great time shopping together, for a while in pairs then the girls met up with us again and we group shopped. She bought way more, but I purchased better, so another success. Everyone was pretty happy with their purchases, and I even got a little Christmas shopping done. I was also gratified to see that she is still a full size larger than me. Am I a bitch, or what. Oh well, a little competition never hurt anyone.

I will say, that after 9 hours of shopping in 3 inch skinny-heeled boots, I am ready to do the rest of my shopping online.
