When the man is away...

I go shopping!

Emmanuell was out of town (Thurs night thru Mon morn) visiting a friend.  Since he booked his trip, I've been contemplating on whether to go to SD.  What pushed me to make it a day trip and do the driving solo on Saturday?  It became an advanced retail therapy before I went to see my family the next day.  Yes, I felt like it was a needed trip down.  Also, my friend, O, who lives in SD tempted me w/ turon and my favorite dessert place.  Yes, she knows how to through to me!

I woke up at 6:45am Saturday morning (after going to bed past 1am) to get ready.  I left at about 7:40 and arrive at O's house in SD at 9:35.  We headed out to brunch at Goldilocks (same place we've been to a few times before).  Afterwards, O and I headed to an outlet to start some shopping.  I bought some heels for work, mascara, and stocked up on hand soaps and shower gels.

After doing some damage (our shopping bags from Bath & Body Works were a bit heavy hence it was double bagged), we decided to head out to get some dessert.  Yup, whenever I go down to SD, dessert is a must.  Once we devoured our delicious treats, we headed back to O's house to drop off the to-go desserts we ordered before going out to another mall.  We did some more shopping at VS.  I also bought a couple tops at a store I've never heard of (until now).  We decided to leave before doing more damage.  (Thanks O for dragging my butt out of there!!)  We went to Lolita's for dinner.  They've got some massive burritos!  We headed to O's house after dinner to chill and chat for a couple hours.  It started to get late (sadness!) and so I left at around 9:30 to drive back and got home at about midnight.

What a FUN day trip!  Thank you soo much O for spending the day with me eating and shopping!  No shopping for a while, haha.  Good times, good times. =)
