Me, Sleepy, and our friend Kerri
After a shot of some heavily caffienated coffee from none other than our local gas station (only the best for my sweet girl), she slowly began to come out of her fog.
Look at her. Isn't she cute?
But who wouldn't look cute in a bright fucshia puffer vest?! Everyone knows that the person wearing pink is always the cutest that day.
After some intense shopping, we stopped in for lunch at The Cheesecake Factory. Yumolicious!
Then we headed back out for some more shopping with Express being our next stop.
While browsing the jean area, I saw many cute, shorter than me (not hard) gals trying on the Mia fit jean. I thought, "Why not? I'll give them a try."
After trying them on, with Sal Gal in the dressing room with me (yes, we still go in together), we quickly established the fact that Mia jeans are not for me. Even the long length wasn't quite long enough. They gave me LBC (Long Butt Cheek) and made me want to go M.I.A. On me, Mia stands for Mom In Action apparently. Let's just say it wasn't pretty.
Sal Gal decided to take the opportunity to kick me while I was down and suggested that I start shopping at Big and Tall. I knew I brought her along for some reason. I then decided that if you can't laugh at yourself, who can you laugh at?! And maybe I won't shop at Big and Tall, maybe I'll just shop at Giants R' Us.
I did end up finding the perfect pair at Abercrombie. Whew. Crisis diverted.
Here's a pic of us in the dressing room right after laughing at my expense.
On a brighter note, here are a few of the photos taken by Sal Gal from our holiday card photo shoot at the beach.
(A quick PSA: Some of you have asked why Sal Gal does not have a blog. Sal Gal doesn't blog, she Facebooks. So, if you Facebook too, and would like to hit her up for a friend request, you can find her here.)

sounds like such a fun day! I love all of those christmas card shots! Do you know by any chance what kind of camera that is, i'm in the market for a new one!!!!
The camera Sal Gal uses is a Nikon D40 SLR.
Such great pictures!! Seems like you guys had a blast!!
Great pics!! I can't believe you went shopping today :) I stayed away from everything shopping related. :)
The pictures are fabulous and such great quality! I love the one with y'all walking on the beach with your backs to the camera! Glad you had fun shopping today!
Always sounds like a great time when you & Sal Gal hang out... love the pictures!
And as a blogger - I find it totally normal to take a camera in a dressing room :-)
Hilarious! I *love* that last pic of the hubby. Tell him I said it's usually the kids that I have problems with eye squinting!! LOL
GREAT pictures! I am glad you had a good time out shopping!
These pics are so great ~~ How will you ever choose? SG did a GREAT job!!!!!
Have a Blessed weekend,
Dawn
1) Love the title of your post...cracking up! At first I thought you were going to show us a pic of some frizzy hair or something!
2) You and the girls are so brave to go out shopping today. Although I did hit up Wal-Mart it was much better than I was expecting.
3) The pics are amazing, but I didn't expect anything else from you and your beautiful family!
Have a great weekend :)
Oh and so glad you listed Sal Gals camera. I have been looking and looking for a new one and these pics are great! Does she use any specific photo software?
Yes, Sal Gal uses Photoshop Elements, either 4.0 or 5.0, but it's one of the least expensive versions of it.
I'm sad I missed you guys. I 'heard' you while paying at bath and body works and then lost sight of you. we just got home - it's 10:15! Hittin' the sack!
you guys are so stink'n cute!
And I adore those photos on the beach... beautiful!!
Looks like you all had a great time! Shopping any day of the year is a blast when friends go along. And your photos turned out gorgeous!! I wish ours would turn out that well. Guess we'll just have to keep trying for the perfect photo. :)
Love your Christmas photos! As far as Black Friday....I refuse to hit the malls, prefer boutique shopping. it's not so crowded and no pushing and shoving. It's amazing what a good coffee will do for you.
Hi there! I just came across your blog - love it! I am now a follower :-)
You guys are absolutely precious! You look like you have such a good time together!
I LOVE the pictures on the beach! I LOVE the second one and the third one is soooo sweet! (Love the "do whuh? picture, too! Priceless!)
Hope you have a great weekend!
Great pictures!!
OMG, you crack me up! L-O-V-E the pictures! And the last one...hilarious!!
I also braved the Black Friday crowds! The pics are great!!
I would like to be the first to say that I love the way you and mini coordinated your hot pinks!!! ;) TOO CUTE!
oops - mini ME - left that part out.
Great pics!!! The last one of you three close-up would be perfect for your cards. Way to go Sal Gal :)
it's a sure sign of a best friend when you still go in the dressing room together. love it.
and i got quite the kick out of your comment about the one in pink is always the cutest that day.i

You guys make me wish I had a sister..y'all always seem to have the best time together! Yay to you for facing the crowds yesterday! I've never gotten up enough nerve to do it myself!
I LOVE the family pics!! and Kate's boots are too precious!
my first visit. beautiful family. i am avoiding shopping until next week.
Sounds like so much fun! I opted out this year... my first year in like 10 years to no go! I still feel the sting of it!
I had a 2 day boutique to set up for...
Love your fun blog. Great design. I look forward to coming back often. You have a great way of telling your story!
Good to meet you and thanks for visiting me!
Pretty Organizer
I love Black Friday! The pictures are gorgeous for your card!
Gorgeous beach pictures! You have a beautiful family. Thanks for stopping by, btw! :)
Loved the Christmas photos! I'm always curious to hear about those that are willing to venture into the mall on Black Friday. I gave it up 20 years ago... Reading your post, however, is making me feel adventurous! Watch out Black Friday '09!!!
What great pictures!! (o:
Ya'll look like you have so much fun together!
Those are awesome pictures!!!
Glad to know I wasn't the only crazy out on Black Friday! That's right - I was at Best Buy at 3am :)
Your pictures are great! I really enjoy your blog.
I left you something on my blog... hope you have a terrific day!
You're so brave! I think I'm doing all of my shopping online this year. BTW - we're going down to Georgia for Christmas (to see the folks) so I'll be thinking of you while in the Southern heartland. can't wait for Christmas!!
Great Pictures!
too cute! You are brave. ...I didn't go near a shopping area on Friday ...I was too afraid :) adorable photos!
ur christmas card is going to be darling! what wonderful pictures.. you have to be the cutest mom ever! you always look darling and soo put together!!
OMG...I remember shopping days with hattie! No matter the size of the dressing room - we always went in together...now matter how many of us there were! Fun times!
OMG you crack me up with every stinkin post!!! Giants are Us...LOL! M to the Izza's face in that last one is priceless.
Cracking up here!!!
Awww I love the pictures, you guys are an adorable family!
Love these pics!!!! I did wonder if Sal Gal had a blog - she sounds like a neat chick!!!
Those are great pictures!!
The family pics are adorable!!! Oh and I am a giant as well :)
LBC is the absolute worst. I would rather give birth to a flaming porcupine than wear jeans that give me LBC. You made the right decision.
P.S. You're way too cute. I can never look at your blog again because it's giving me a complex. For reals. No, not for reals, but you know what I mean.
I took the cheater's way out and did some shopping online. I got do sit in my pjs with some yummy chocolate chip pancakes by my side.
Maybe it's just me but you and Sal Gal seem to look alike. Is that just in photos or in person as well?
We definitely look alike! Actually, all three of us (including my little sis) look alike........
my sisters and I still always go into dressing rooms together(sisters always tell the truth too) lol. oh and I can relate on the husband pictures. I'm always big cheerleader smile and he's always eyes closed or squinting;)
Your beach pictures are absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!
Wow, those beach pics are beautiful! I just found your blog and am looking forward to checking it out more.
OK, this comment is really late, and you may not even see it - but I need to know. How do you fix your hair? Curling Iron? Straightner? Curlers? I must know. It is beautiful!
