I had a lovely little night with my good friend, Sonia, last night. (You truly are one of my bestest friends.  If I had a sister, I’d want it to be you.)
Anyway … enough mush.
We went to a little shindig down here called “Tinsels and Treasures” put on by the Junior League every year. It’s a whole shopping experience (they say). Think arts and crafts show, but upscale and expensive … lots of boutique-type stuff.
Can you believe the only thing we bought was food? You know … some dips and sauces. No shoes, clothes, jewelry … just food. Oh, and I bought a cook book (still food related).
Here are the yummies:
This mixed with Swiss cheese and cream cheese makes …
this.
This served with chips = delicious!
This sauce, which I hope you can find somewhere, used with any meat or with cream cheese as a dip is incredible.
Something I wanted to buy just for the fun of it:
They really did smell good, but then I would be one of those people that thinks their poop (normally said with cruder version of that word) don’t stink. We wouldn’t want that to happen.
The “shopping experience” didn’t take us as long as we thought.
So, we went for a real shopping experience at Ross.
I bought these DKNY jeans for 29.99.
And I bought a double-breasted, black-and-white-patterned trench for 12.99 that I won’t show you because you’ll just be jealous (or I couldn’t find a picture of it and was too lazy to take one and post it). But, seriously, it was the best buy of the night.
We then did this …

And ate their delicious bread and dipping sauce, salad, eggplant parmagiana, and mini-tirimasus.
Then, we were so excited to “The Women,” starring these ladies …

which was one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen.
The “funny” parts were not funny.
The story line was lame.
And we spent most of the time giggling about those facts instead of giggling at the movie itself.
Not to mention, the laughter that ensued due to Meg Ryan’s ridiculous lips … seriously, she looks like the Joker now. Her top lip doesn’t even move when she talks. I was mesmerized by it. It distracted me from a lot of what was going on in the movie. I’m not kidding. You’ve got to see her lips. That would be the only thing I would recommend about this movie. Go to see Meg Ryan’s freak lips. (OK, was that ugly? Sorry.)
Thanks for a great night, Sonia!
