Shopping, Book Club, Cinco De Mayo, and Biggest Loser

Today has been an exhausting day to say the least. Since our book club meeting was today I had several errands to run and a few things I was hoping to get accomplished without having the little man with me. I always LOVE having him around when I go out and about, but sometimes it's a challenge having a 9 1/2 month old on your hands who loves to talk really loud and every now and then has a few meltdowns when he doesn't get his way (I guess that would be my fault for spoiling him too much :) Not to mention, we don't really live that close to shopping areas (at least the ones I enjoy) so it makes it somewhat difficult...and i'm not lying when i say "going to town" is an all day event.

I left a little early so that I could have time to stop by one of my favorite places to shop for Bryson...The Children's Place. I absolutely love the clothes they have for Bryson's age. And I am always able to find some really good sales too. It was my first trip to the one out on 280 and I was really impressed. They had alot of great selections and my 15% off coupon didn't hurt either. Ha! While I was looking around I heard someone call out my name and when I turned around I saw my cousin Crystal. I've haven't seen her in so long and it was so good to catch up and hear about what is going on with her and her family. I miss seeing her very much and I hope we can get together more often.

I didn't have my camera with me so I was able to get any pictures while I was out. Bummer :(

I was making really good time so I stopped into Old Navy next door and found the cutest dress on sale for $15

I bought this one in a purple. I saw it on the manikin and thought it was a must have. I found a cute white tank to go underneath and I even thought about pairing it with some white leggins. I also saw this cute yellow dress that would be adorable to wear to the Lady Antebellum and Tim McGraw concert next Friday. I didn't have time to try it on, so I think I might go back on Friday to see how it looks.
I met up with Mary, Dorothy, and Donna for the book club meeting at Jackson's in Homewood. Such a great little place. I had the pimento cheese BLT...yummy is all I have to say. We all split this dessert, the Cookie Dough Egg Roll. Y'all this was SO GOOD. I have never had anything like it before. I could have eaten both of those egg rolls by myself. I have issues with sweets. HA!!! We also picked out another book...

Dorothy has already started and it sounds like its going to be a good one. A real thinker. I hope I can handle it. I'm not a deep thinker!

Mary and I did some shopping together after our meeting. We found some great sales and I really need to go shopping with Mary more often...she always seems to find the cutest things. I had a great time with her! She is always alot of fun to hang out with and has become one of my good friends.

Clay and I took Bryson out for his first Cinco De Mayo dinner. We went to our favorite place, El Carreton. I honestly could eat mexican every day. Clay and I both had the steak supreme nachos...oh so good. I let Bryson eat the beans...

This picture is a little blurry...if you can't tell this little mess had beans all over him. He loved them of course. He was so good while we ate. I had several people come up to me and tell me how cute and well behaved he was. Those are some of the greatest compliments I enjoy from strangers during this stage of Bryson's life. I'm such a proud little momma!

So what did y'all think about the ending to the biggest loser last night? OMGoodness! I was very excited for both Stephanie and Sam.

I've loved Sam and Koli from day one and to see that Stephanie had finally found "love", I couldn't be more happier for them. This is becoming one of my most favorite shows of all time. I can't watch one episode without crying.

Hope everyone had a great Cinco De Mayo! We've got a busy next few days. So I will have lots to blog about :)
