Last night I told Emily I'd take her shopping after we'd had breakfast with my parents. She was surprised I'd want to shop on Mother's Day but I thought it would be a good way for us to spend time together and she needs summer clothes. She was really happy. I'll admit I thought she would have more patience than usual because of it being Mother's Day. Bob Evans was packed, but we expected the 40 minutes wait, and my parents arrived just about 10 minutes before they called our name so it worked out pretty perfect. We had a really nice meal together, then went on our way. I'm not much of a shopper, but Emily loves it. We started with bathing suits and finally agreed on one suit out of all she tried on. She wasn't happy about the ones I vetoed, and I can't blame her. I was just happy we found one. Emily took my 'no's' to the rest of the clothes that I thought were too tight or too short pretty gracefully. She didn't get a bad attitude. She wound up getting many tops, shorts and pj's. Emily got a pair of jeans from a new store called Garage. The interior was really unique and I took some pictures. I loved the dressing rooms. Each one had different wallpaper with a unique chandelier.







We went out for pizza afterwards. We got home just in time for the gloomy day to turn into a very rainy one. It's been pouring for hours. There's flood watches in many parts of the region, and the edge of my basement floor around the door is wet. It's from the rain pouring over the clogged gutters. I really do need to take care of that. Anyway, I've spent the remainder of the day and night watching TV and doing laundry. It's been nice!

My plan for tomorrow? To go to the movies with some of my co-workers. I'm not sure what I'll do before or after, but something is bound to come up. I think it's supposed to rain. Again. That's OK...we need it. We also need a warm sunny day before we get too depressed.

I hope your Sunday was a great one.
