glorious day!!

anyone who knows me knows that I'm bad with favorites, but if you were to inquire as to my favorite store, I dont even think I'd hesitate. Maurices. I've been there within the last week! :) I have a feeling I'll be frequenting it a few more times before the big move as well- why? because we don't have one in Alaska and therefore I can justify purchasing more pieces to supplement the wardrobe...a girl needs new work clothes! :)

This entire day was glorious. I met my dear friend Kari at Courthouse Coffee and then we found some amazing deals at Maurices together. We split ways for a few hours- while she played soccer I ate lunch and attempted productivity at 1313. Then I met Kari near the trailhead in Winona and we embarked on a biking adventure. I hadn't ridden a bike in years...it was so much fun! We biked the trails then took to the streets, traveling through town to Pike's lake. It felt so amazing to be outside in the fresh air on this perfect day, so therapeutic for body and soul. We got back just in time for me to hop in Fiona the Focus and head to the counseling center for my 4'oclock client. Then I met Kari at Hacienda for the delicious Monday special...gotta love their famous wet burrito.



We had just enough down time afterwards to stop by Bath-n-Body Works so Kari could use her coupon (amazingly enough, I didn't buy anything there! It has to be a first! I'm a sucker for their marketing schemes!). While browsing that tasty smelling store, I introduced Kari to the amazing smoothing powers of the sugar scrub. She is still marveling the smoothness of her skin...





Next we headed over to North Pointe with time to spare before the start of our movie. I instantaneously saw a brilliant photo opp and we used the extra time well...








All in all, a great day. It was nice to come home with my bag of new clothes, put on pajamas and relax on the couch to enjoy a truffle and a glass of wine. Tomorrow I will be suffering from a bad case of bicycle butt, but for now I am basking in the gloriousness that was today. Thank you Lord :)
