ShannonAlbert.com - June 2009

Sunday morning we got up and Marcy made us breakfast. Thanks to Marcy, I now love turkey bacon and coffee with Vanilla Caramel creamer. Yum.

Payton had a bit more Rock Band playing to do and around noon, we were headed out to our next stops.

One last pic before we left...


At this point, I was taking Payton to her friend Kristen's house to stay the night and then I'd be headed to Amanda's. Kristen lives in our old neighborhood so we drove by our old house...


I was pleased to see it looking nice and glad they removed the Crepe Myrtle that had gotten too big for the area it was in.

Then it was time to go to Kristen's house...


More hugging and "omg, you're so tall" comments. Kristen demonstrated her percussion talents for all of us. Her parents said they'd be coming to visit us sometime this summer hopefully.

It was time for me to head to Amanda's house. Once I got there, I brought my stuff in (Amanda's guest room is always setup like a customized hotel room - I should have taken a picture of it. Books and magazines that I like, an eye mask, etc.) and then we were headed out for lunch at an organic deli type of place. It was really good and I got Payton a shirt to add to her collection of shirts w/messages on them.

Amanda and I then proceeded to go on a shopping spree with purchases at Ann Taylor Loft (mega sales!), Bare Escentuals (I got a whole line of makeup there after they put it all on me. We don't have BE stores in Kansas so I knew I wanted to get it while I was in Texas), got my Garmin 405 watch (had called Andy right beforehand to tell him that I'd be getting one soon but figured I'd have to order it online since I'd never seen them in stock in a store) and then finished off with TCBY (which I'd told Amanda I wanted to get since we also don't have those in Kansas). Perfect day of shopping!

After we got home, we headed back out for our reservation at Pirahna's. We ran into somebody we used to work with (for my former co-workers, it was Julia), had good sushi and martinis and then were headed out. Amanda got a text from her husband that he was at a dive bar with a friend who is a roller derby girl and we could meet up with him there.

We go there, have some drinks and notice a photo shoot is taking place in front of us with scantily clad girls. It was very strange. Here's one of the tame pictures...


We head home and I'm off to bed soon because 6 a.m. comes quickly when you're slightly hungover and super tired.
