Our weekend was nice but exhausting. Saturday was SIL's wedding dress fitting. The dress fit perfectly except for a tiny bit that needed to be hemmed from the bottom. The dress is absolutely gorgeous...the 2nd prettiest dress I've ever seen (mine is 1st, of course!). And it definitely suits her shape. I got some quick snaps of her in her dress and with her veil. She picked out a gorgeous headpiece that is nearly identical to the one I used in my wedding. She is thinking maybe she will use mine and call it her something borrowed. Frankly, I'd be honored!
After the fitting it was time for shopping. We had to do some shopping for hubby's grandmother. The mean Kirkland's people took the store away from us here several years ago, but they realized their mistake and Kirkland's is back! There is one less than 5 minutes from my house. I am ecstatic but also sad, because right now all it does is torture me. If anyone would like to win the lottery and be a dear and give me, oh say, half a mil, I'd gladly accept! Ha ha.
After Kirklands it was off to Home Goods for even MORE torture. I love that place but I walked out of both there and Kirklands empty handed. I was being a verry good girl!
PetCo was having an Adopt-a-Pet event and the sidewalk was covered with people and doggies. There were SOOO many Chihuahuas and Chihuahua mixes that it broke my heart. I REALLY wanted to take ALL of them home with me, but we're not even able to add one right now. But the fact that there were tons of people milling about looked hopeful.
After Petco, we headed to Brixx for lunch. It was yummy, as always, but I was disappointed because they served us regular kettle cooked potato chips instead of the beloved blue ones. :(
After lunch it was off to North Charleston to visit Michaels and AC Moore for Dru's grandmother. She needed fall decorations and doesn't settle for ready-made store bought decorations. My MIL and SIL have to make up wreaths and such for her from scratch. I did use the fact that we had a 25% coupon and the 50% off floral isle to compile some elements for a fall wreath for my front door. Don't worry, I was bargain shopping and spent next to nothing. SIL took the supplies home and assembled my wreath for me. And let me tell you, it is FABULOUS! I will share a picture tomorrow.
Afterward, we had to swing back to Kirklands to pick up an item they were holding. We got to see that nearly ALL of the dogs had been adopted! It made my heart smile.
Then it was homeward bound for both me & hubby and MIL & SIL.
Sunday was mine and hubby's 12 year anniversary (of being together, not of being married...we hit the 3 year mark for that in July). We decided to go to breakfast and then hubby made us a delicious Hawaiian pizza for lunch before heading out to SIL's monogram shower.
SIL had a good turnout for the shower. She got lots of monogrammed stuff, even several duplicate items. She now has 3 monogrammed mailboxes and at least that many monogrammed flags. Crazy! She is a monogram freak though so it is perfect for her.
Dru's cousin came and brought her camera, so SIL said I could have the day off from taking pictures. It was nice to just be able to be there without worrying about getting pictures of everything. The only downside is that I don't have any pictures from that to share with you.

Hope things at work will turn out the way you want them to.
Goodness! That sounds like a shopping extravaganza of a weekend :)
I have the hardest time when I see a pet adoption site set up. I want to just avoid it, but then I can't. And then I feel pouty for the rest of the day because I want to rescue them all. Maybe one day...
