A Typical Friday in the Lives of Erin & Krista

Today was wonderful. Krista and I ate outside at Ginger Thai in Carytown. We had the fresh spring rolls, chicken dumplings and both ordered the tom yum soup. I added tofu to my soup and Krista just got the vegetables in her soup. Their food is absolutely amazing and the older woman who works there is adorable.

After that we walked around Carytown for a little while (mostly so I could go to Bangles & Beads to look for some curb chain which was unsuccessful.) After that we headed off to DSW for shoes. Krista bought two cute pairs of shoes for work and one for a wedding she is in during the month of July. I bought two pairs of shoes, a neutral colored wedge by Nine West and an adorable pair of black flats by Blowfish.

After the shoe store we headed up to Short Pump Town Center so Krista could get some work appropriate clothes and I could have some pants altered at Banana Republic. Krista was mostly unsuccessful with new work clothes. She ended up with just two pairs of pants. I continued my search for curb chain with no luck.

Finally, we made our way to Whole Foods so Krista could pick up some groceries for her weekend. We also grabbed a hot pretzel to share. It was amazing!!!

When I got home my parents and I headed up to Jo Ann's to pick up a few things. I got paint brushes, alphabet stamps, gold leaf paint, 150 colors of embroidery thread, floral wire and floral tape. I've been inspired to make a few things (mostly jewelry) by looking at DIY blogs on the internet. I still need to pick up a few things like small plastic dinosaurs and some thin, cotton rope, but I'll get there eventually.

I'm super exhausted so it looks like tonight I'm going to stay in and relax in front of the TV with the rents.
