Getting to Know a New Friend

So last Wednesday was a very good day.  There were a few things happening that I would like to share with you...

First, Patric was able to go pick up our new car...

This is our Suzuki Swift.  We originally ordered it in blue but that would have taken three or four extra days for delivery.  So we decided to go with the red one since they had them in stock.  Isn't it cute???

I did say that Patric picked it up.  He went by himself because I had other plans.  That was the day that I was spending with my new friend, Sharon.  We planned to attend another Christmas bazaar that was being put on by the Manza Association.  There were many of the same vendors that attended the AAM bazaar but that was ok by me.  I didn't get to walk around much at our bazaar since I was working for most of it so I was able to spend time looking last Wednesday.

I did buy a few things but can only show one...

I fell in love with this necklace so I just had to buy it.  It is handmade but I can't remember what the stones are called.  Now I just need a reason to wear it.  =)

After we walked around the bazaar and bought all that we were going to buy, Sharon and I left and headed to find lunch.  Since we were in her part of town she started naming off places to eat.  The one that peeked my interest was California Pizza Kitchen...yay!  So I had pizza and Sharon had a salad.  It was nice to spend time with Sharon and get to know her a little better.

After that she introduced me to a new mall - BB Plaza.  I've heard about this mall but hadn't been there until now.  True to form, it was huge like all the other malls.  The difference with this one was that it seemed to be built more out instead of up.  There weren't as many floors as most that I have been to but it felt like it was more spread out.  Sharon took me to some of her favorite stores in this mall.  A couple of them leaned toward a wild and funky side which I liked a lot.  She also took me to a gown shop.  I really liked going here because in February I will be attending a ball that AAM hosts every year.  I've seen many shops that sell gowns but this one even does fittings and alterations which are all included in the price of the gown.  I can't wait to go back and do some serious shopping there!

By the time we were finished with the plaza it was time for me to head home.  I was supposed to go out to dinner with Patric and his group from work that night.  Unfortunately, I had to miss out on that.  When I got home it started raining really bad so when I tried to call for a taxi to take me to Patric's office there were none available.  This was really sad but ok...there will be another time.  I used the time to chill out and watch some TV instead.

Thursday promises to be full of fun.  I'm scheduled to go on a jungle walk!

See you next post!!

Monkey update:  yeah, not so much.
