1) I took my Chickadee and a friend to the Carousel mall today to spend some of her hard-earned babysitting money. One good thing about her wanting to shop alone with her buddy was that she didn't ask me to buy her one.single.thing! Well, except lunch--that was only because I told her she was paying for her own if we didn't eat together ;)
2) I skipped running for the 2nd day in row - partly because of time constraints (the mall was out of town) and partly because I am still nursing a stiff neck/back since my 5-miler. Tomorrow I'm running regardless, so hopefully it will work itself out before then.
3) "You have been entrusted with an incredible pain"...MaryBeth Chapman in Choosing to See. I sat in Borders book store for about an hour and read several chapters of this book while Chickadee was shopping with her pal. I was embarrassed when I started laughing out loud and then had to hunker down when I started to bawl...definitely one of the best books I've read in a long, long time. I will always think of my life hurts in a different light after reading about her experiences. She's a lot like me.

Glad you're enjoying that mom and daughter time. I can't get over how how fast the time and years have gone. It seems just yesterday she was just a little girl.
I'll have to check into that book sometime.
Take care and say hello to everyone for us.
