The Daily Hailey

I had an evening out planned. I spent the better part of the day doing laundry and dishes, but was sort of itching for the kids to go down for their nap so I could get ready. I loaded on the orange blush with the intention to rock my awesome orange Mac lipstick. But then I realized that I was going out with Kim. Kim has never been out with me before. If you’ve been out with me before, you know that people stare. I’m not offended or even particularly surprised by it, because I have a blue fohawk and thats already not especially socially acceptable, and then I add orange lipstick. Not wanting to frighten Kim away from going on a girl date with me, I opted for a much more subtle, lip purple lip color. Of course, then I was wearing orange blush and purple lips. But I was pretty over it at that point, and decided it didn’t matter.

Brady got home from work, we basically high fived, and I was out the door. I listened to some new music on my way to my parents place, where I dropped off a few things, picked a few things up, and saw some of the beautiful pictures that my mom had taken on their holiday recently. It was such a nice little pop in visit! But just as quick as I arrived, I left and headed to Kims. Funny how close they live to each other!

You guys are probably going to laugh at our evening out. We snagged her baby boy to accompany us, and drove to the city. Kim picked up something from her parents place, and we dropped into the nearby mall for one more pick up, and then Starbucks. Also, a fish taco from Taco Time. My life will never be the same. Fish Taco. FISH TACO!!!

From there, we headed to the main event. Value Village!!!! Tis true, folks. I have found a friend who appreciates some good thrift store shopping, and my heart is happy. We did pretty good, I’d say. Her baby boy wasn’t particularly thrilled here and there, but we shopped well! I spent around $75, which seems like a lot, I know, but I brought home five shirts for Rowan, six shirts for me, a blazer, a purse, and a couple of other little things. I’d say thats a pretty good haul. Thankfully, Brady agrees. Whew!

We drove back to Kims place in the rain, and took a few more lame selfies before saying goodbye.

More new music on the drive home, where I was greeted by a fresh smelling house, and nachos waiting to be melted. Those nachos are still waiting, so I’m going to go out them out of their misery.

I had SO much fun tonight. I’m thrilled that this plan didn’t fall through 🙂 Thanks for the night out, friend!!
