Do You Want to Go Shopping?

My husband asked me if I wanted to go shopping today. Those are the words I love to hear. I knew by the way he asked that it wasn't for grocery shopping.
After our air conditioner inspection, I was showered, made up, dressed, and ready to go.
Across the bridge we went, along the ocean, past Mar-a-Lago (President Trump's place), past the mansions, onto Worth Avenue, and into the valet parking area of one of my most favorite stores in the world.
After 5 straight hours of shopping and dinner, I am home and all my goodies, including lots of samples of cosmetics, are neatly put away. What a fun day. However, I am not nearly done. We are returning next Thursday for spa treatments and more shopping.
How did you spend your day?

Oh I'll bet you got a bunch of great goodies . . . what did you get me ?
I actually love to grocery shop, is that crazy? I love buying food - I love feeling well stocked in the kitchen so I can make whatever I want at will (I just wish I had more time to make creative dishes!). And that's what I did for part of the morning - hit up my grocery stores!
But otherwise I had a busy morning . . . toured the classrooms to see all the other 100th day school projects with my little son's class (on top of finishing it up last night with him). Went to this odd workshop at my daughter's middle school but it turned out we learned some great little nuggets from it . . . though I really went to see a parent friend there who asked me to go to this workshop so she could give us a belated Christmas gift. I also got some great refreshments there including these dark chocolate biscottis I took for the kids for later. Then I went on my grocery store raid. I wanted to make it to some thrift shops, but didn't make it - I started feeling sort of sick so I went home. Picked up the kids - and dealt with massive homework. Made turkey vegetable soup for dinner. Then went to tae kwon do. Came home, and surprised the family with Hagen Daas ice cream bars for dessert .
And that is in SHORT how my day was spent .

@DianneN We ate out a lot in the past couple months . . . so we're all trying to get back into home food mode. But yah, it's the produce that can go bad quick. I threw all the leftover produce in the soup last night! I feel lucky I can do this for my kids now . . . I hope they appreciate it and take the memories with them when they one day fly out of the nest!

@much2say You will be surprised what memories your kids will take with them when they fly the nest! I'm still finding out new memories mine have every so often, and most of them are good. LOL! I will tell you again, you are a great mom!!!!

Holy moly! You certainly had a busy but productive day. I feel the same way about having a well stocked kitchen and pantry, but we have been eating out quite a bit and I have to ditch the produce. Stock up trip is planned for tomorrow. I love how involved you are with your children's schooling. Kudos to you!

You are lucky that you got a chance to go on shopping and you could shop goods of your choice and this made you happy.
We spend our working days working in our office, so no scope of going for shopping.

Your husband actually enjoys shopping with you? Wow!
Mine isn't horrible.. he likes to spoil me when he's able.. but usually we can't afford it, and when we have money to spend I'd rather spend it on the kids. I love to shop for them, but don't often get much for myself.

@LeaPea2417 I would rather have the samples than the full size products. They're so cute!

I do my shopping online. I was looking for inner wear with a broad elastic at the waist and I found it on Amazon in after an intense search . The parcel arrived yesterday. I also got two bottles of my favourite hazelnut cocoa spread. I am always shopping online and that gives me a lot of satisfaction.
Yours indeed was a marathon session and you want more

@DianneN There was a time my lifestyle required a lot of shopping. Now I hardly socialise and that explains why I can managed shopping online.

I shop online for some products, but have a need to feel fabrics and test colors and scents. I only zipped through the shoe department for a quick look, but ran out of time. I still need dresses, tops, and shoes and a new handbag. That may take a few more days. Lol!
