03/12/2006: "Back Home"

Back from chaperoning The Girl's choir group to North Carolina. Really a great trip. Nice group of kids and adults (other chaperones/conductor/accompanist).

High point of the trip: Listening to the performance. Lovely.

Second high point of the trip: The Westin's heavanly bed.

Low point of the trip: Mall shopping with 6 girls to keep up with.

THEM:
"Can we go to the Loius Vuitton shop? I want to see what new purses they have in."
"I want to go to Hollister!"
"I need to go to the Apple store, so they can look at my ipod."
"But American Eagle is this way."
"Oh, I just have to go in this shop...."
"Can we go to Loius Vuitton now?"
"How much is that book bag? Only $80. That's not bad."
Squeal. "Oh, I just love Steve Madden shoes."
"Starbucks is down at that end."

ME:
"What time is the bus picking us up?"

Yesterday, we cut the museum visit short and one of my little shopaholic charges came up with the following:

"Mrs. LaBrecque, do you think since we're leaving early we can stop at the outlet mall on the way home?"

"Only if they stop the bus on a bridge first...so I can jump."

"Some men admit they avoid confrontation (about breaking up) because they’re afraid we’ll cry. Of course we’ll cry; we cry at Hallmark commercials. What they don’t understand is that we’re not crying because of them, we’re crying because now we have to get naked in front of someone else.”
