Girlfriends....not better than sex, but right up there!


Yesterday I made an impromtu trip to Dublin, Ohio with my friend Karen O'Donnell. Karen was on her way to "SteinMart" to try on clothing to wear as a model in a Women's Council of Realtors Fashion Show in Columbus.
She is the current Ohio State President of this organization and therefore is the "honored" guest of choice for the 10 chapters in the State.
"Sure, I'll ride along with you" says I. Karen and I have enjoyed many a shopping trip in the few years that we have served together on council and committee chores.
A girl's got to do what a girl's got to do!"No, not that one try this one". For two hours we dashed back and forth through Steinmart picking out ensembles and outfits. Supposedly evening wear since Karen would be escorted by the tuxedoed President of the Land Title Association for the State.
Karen is barely elbow high on me (or at least it seems so, anyway, she is pretty petite). It was like picking out doll clothes for me. What fun. We even got to pick out matching jewelry! Yea!
"Need shoes to go with that outfit" "No sez she" "I've got plenty at home to choose from".
I hope to shout in your lunchbox she does. In all of our travels across the state and the country, we have made it a point of buying at least one pair of shoes as a souvenier momento of our trip.
In one such trip to Toledo, after the luncheon meeting we shot over to Perrysburg to the mall and made a power shop through a shoe store. I found a great pair of "Clarks" mules.
Karen on the other hand found (size 6) 14 pairs of shoes, all on sale, and all waiting to be exported to Mayfield Heights!
You go girl!
