“The quickest way to know a woman is to go shopping with her.”

Ah it's been a week since I last updated. And I've been all over the place!

Friday was good, but sad. It was Rush's last day as well as ours, so we all got sappy. I said good bye to the other Private Brands interns then went back to my office to say goodbye to my team. They surprised me (well, I mean, it wasn't REALLY a surprise. but it was really nice. hehe) with Magnolia cupcakes and a card. I love them so much. I got lots and lots of hugs and then we parted ways. I love my team so dearly, I really hope a spot opens up with them in a year.

After work I met up with Lauren and we walked over to Bon Chon for lunch. Mmmm Korean fried chicken is pretty yummy. After that, we walked back towards Herald Square and met up with Michelle and Prescella. We shopped around for a while, took pictures, got mini facials, then I had to leave and catch my train. Many hugs and goodbyes, and promises to meet up again, hopefully soon. I'm SO glad I got to bond so much with those girls this summer. (And Lizzie, whose boyfriend came into town! We missed you shopping!) I made it home and five minutes later Diane and the kids walked in the door. Surprise! I thought they were coming Saturday! So we piled into the minivan and drove over to the Chinese buffet. We were seated by a large, unruly child's birthday party. Oh dear. It was a nice time, though. After that we went back home and I finished packing everything up. So sad.

Saturday we headed out relatively early. I had to stop by Target, but thank goodness we did because we discovered a nail in Diane's tire. That would have been bad to find on the parkway. So we waited for the guy to come fix it, then we were on our way. We went in the pool, had dinner, and I went to bed ridiculously early. But I slept goooood.

Sunday....I don't know. We hung out around the house, I helped Elizabeth with some homework.

Monday my flight left at 1:15 so we left nice and early. I lugged all my suitcases with me, checked them, and everything else went smoothly. The flight was pretty bumpy, but not too long. Dad picked me up. Yay! We got home and I passed out early.

The rest of this week has been spent getting utilities in order and relaxing. Yesterday Kathy came home and today we drove down to Tampa and had retail bonding and fixing items at the Apple store. It was a lot of fun. And I got a new bathing suit! Finally! My other one was aaaawful.

I found out I can move in at least a little early, and I'll find out tomorrow if I can get in as soon as Saturday, which would be amazing. Other than that, I just need to pack everything up and get ready to get back to Alabama!
