Shopping with Sandi

Me: Are you hungry?

Sandi: No, but when ever you are ready, we can stop.

So we go into J. Jill. I never have luck there. I always think I can get similar things for half the price at TJ Maxx or Marshalls. I leave with a $39.00 pair of jean capri's.

Me: Do you want to eat at Brio Tuscan Grille or PF Changs?

Sandi: Either is fine. Are you hungry now?

Me: No, I can wait.

As we walk past Coldwater Creek, I make the observation that store has "old lady" clothes in it. Sandi tells me she's bought things from there. Oops!

Me: I could eat some ice cream. (As we walk past Nestle's ice cream parlor)

Sandi: I'll wait to go to the Dairy Treat by your house.

We went into Urban Outfitters. We stop to look at the books. It's Sandi's turn to pick the book for her next book club read.

Me: Hey Sandi, look here, I think I found your next book.
(Yes, it was stacked next to Obama's book)



Flipping through the pages, we saw a fireman in need of a hose. A monkey holding the peel of a banana, a bun just waiting for a hot dog and a few other "unfinished" pictures.

Sandi: Look, this air freshener can double as a bookmark.


( You can tell how we laugh and crack loud jokes & everyone gives us funny looks shop together right?)


Me: It's time, Brio's it is, I'm hungry.

So what do we order? Mmmmm so good, here is the recipe.

Raspberry Bellini
1 bag frozen unsweetened raspberries, thawed
2 tablespoons sugar
1 bottle (750-ml) chilled Champagne
Blend the raspberries and sugar in a food processor or blender until pureed. Strain the raspberry puree through a sieve; discard the seeds, if you wish. Set up 6 Champagne flutes and put about 1 tablespoon of raspberry puree in each glass. Add Champagne to each glass; stir gently and serve.



My shopping trip with my sister Sandi was really to spend time together, I don't need anything.

Like the capri's, the 3 tops from Eddie Bauer, the necklace, bracelet and earrings from Brighton, the top from H&M, or the shoes from DSW.
