January 31st was the day I turned a year older. So I waited "patiently" for my gift from my husband. I knew we were going on a road trip but wasn't quite sure where to. I asked questions and the only thing I got out of him until our destination was that it was to New York. Still I had no clue. Four and a half hours later we arrived to a location that I could only describe as a parking lot. I wasn't paying too much attention to my surroundings as he handed me a card. I smiled and opened it. It was awfully thick when I felt it only to reveal a wad of cash waiting for me to spend it at Woodbury Commons Outlets. I was speechless and smiling ear to ear. My husband is the kind of person who listens and takes notes. He has heard me mention on a few occasions me wanting to go on a shopping spree. Shoes, clothes, you name it. Just shop. So he granted my wish and I was extremely surprised and happy. After showing me what I will be spending my next few days doing, we headed back to the hotel to chill out and prepare for the next day's excursion. Friday I wake up all excited to go spend and discover that it is hailing outside. You should have saw the look on my face. I was disappointed but my hubby told me that it wasn't going to stop us from going and that's what we did. We went, hail and all, and I shopped. Until our feet got wet and cold. We had no umbrella and we were getting soaked towards the later hours. I managed to spend all but $300. That concluded the adventure for Friday and we resumed on Saturday.
Saturday was a better day weather wise because it was dry but now it was cold and windy. I would take that any day over the previous one. Knocked the rest of the money out in less than 2 hours and headed back to do inventory check on all my possessions. It was a girls' dream. That is, those that are into fashion and great buys. For example, I got a pair of $319 True Religion jeans for $89. Talk about a steal. I got a couple of them just because. Also, the hubby picked a great time to take me because a lot of stores were having sales. To name a few stores that I ventured to, French Connection, Michael Kors, UGG, Calvin Klein, Diesel, Juicy Couture, A/X, Nike, Kenneth Cole and a few others. I scored in all the stores I went to and I am anxiously looking forward to taking a trip there in the summer. This was by far an exceptional gift from my hubby, as they all are, that I will always remember.

You lucky, lucky dog. Wow. I have nothing else to say.
Oh, btw, how's the shoulder?
LOL yes I have to agree.
The shoulder is about 90% repaired in my opinion. There are movements that send a sharp pain up my shoulder to my neck. I can't extend the arm. I can't reach for anything with a straight arm. I have to bend the elbow and move my body more towards the item. I'm hoping it just needs some time to heal. Thanks so much for asking too
That's good. I'm sure it will continue to heal.
