shopping and eating

yesterday i went to the outlet malls in williamsburg with two friends, maria and patsy. maria decided that shopping and lunch would be a good way to ring in patsy's 50 something birthday. we left around 9:30 AM and returned around 5:30 PM. patsy and i jellied ourselves out of the car and into the house, for we were quivering masses by the end of the day. well, i'll speak for myself, i was a quivering mass.

maria, however, i'm convinced, could have gone on indefinitely. in the world of shopping, she has set the gold standard for which all must strive. the girl is a master. i enjoyed watching her shop in the same way some people enjoy watching Tiger Woods. it's pure entertainment to watch a pro at the top of their game, doing what they do best. fun was had by all.

maria treated patsy and me to lunch. patsy and i got the salmon with black beans and steamed vegetables, and maria got a salad with a quesadilla, and then we all shared a dessert with the words lava and molten in the name, or something like that. it was a small chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream on top and chocolate and caramel drizzled over it. it was a winner.

we all had a great time. it was so much fun to spend a "girl" day together. happy birthday patsy and thanks maria, for the entertainment and the lunch.
