Shopping!

I spent a fun afternoon yesterday shopping with my friend J who had a baby 7 weeks ago. She's in that post-baby I need some clothes because I want to look like me again phase (I remember it well!). So we headed out to my favorite store, Nordstrom. It was like a garage sale. It seemed like everything was on sale. Clothes, coats, shoes, purses, knee socks (I was tempted by knee socks!). There were a lot of things marked down by 40%. They are doing what they can to get people shopping! And the store was busy and people seemed to buying. I tried to do my part, and J, well J made up for the months during her pregnancy when she couldn't get out of the house, let alone go shopping. And I got to remember what it's like to go out with a 7 week old. He's so cute and so little, but demands a lot of attention. I remember how hard it is to figure out the motivations of an infant.

It was fun to go out and go shopping, fun to be with J and the baby, and good to see people spending money in this economy. I may have to go find those kneesocks.....they were pink and purple with stars.....ooooo. It's all about the kneesocks!
