Just a Personal Note

Tuesday, March 25th, 2008

Hey everyone! 
For those of you in Lincoln, I hope you are enjoying your spring break. After a long bought with the flu, I am packed and ready to head to Minnesota tomorrow morning. I am taking five young ladies to Mall of America.  While I’m wondering what traveling (as the only driver) with these young’uns will be like, I have to admit that I hope for a wonderful find to place on my feet, body or face! Yes, I’m looking forward to spending hours in Sephora, checking out all the cosmetics we just can’t get here in Lincoln. And, of course, I’ll be searching for something spectacular for my feet! Wish me luck.

In addition to the trip, the Giffords have decided to embark on pet ownership. We have found many adorable dogs, but haven’t quite landed on the right dog. Until today. Every dog we see, we compare to our beloved neighbor dog, Carmel. Well, today, our neighbors asked us if we’d like to have him?!

Divine intervention, I’m sure. I can’t wait.

When I get back, I’ll let you know about all the fabulous spring fashions adorning the racks at Ann Taylor, H & M, Nordstroms and Forever 21. And I’ll also keep you posted on our life with Carmel. 

Enjoy the break.
