The main reason for Susie and me to
head back west was to have lunch with a PR Manager at Microsoft. With some
nerves we headed in and proceeded to chat with her, learning a lot of
information on how to transition to the workplace after college. Meeting with
her was fun but after the meeting is when the real fun began.
Our original plan was to head to Seattle
but after some thought Bellevue sounded to be a better idea. We started at Sephora.
Looking though the gift sets and playing with the different lipsticks, blushes
and going through the perfume. That store is like a treasure hunt, a very very
expensive treasure hunt. Lucky for us we each had a 20% off coupon. And I got
more free samples than what I actually purchased. Then we stopped at Forever 21
to look through some clearance and get some great deals a sweater and vest. A quick
look in MAC (no purchase for me) and then a stop in lush for a face mask.
With our bags full and our tummies
not, it was time to head for some dinner, one of our favorite restaurants was
just outside the mall. The Cheesecake Factory. After a delicious meal we
started our two hour drive back home.
We stopped in North Bend for gas and to get a
CD to listen on our drive. In North Bend there is not many places to get a CD. Actually
there was only one place that sold CDs and that was Safeway. And that only
included one shelf of $5 CDs. We chose a blast from the past, Christina Aguilera’s
Stripped album. To the end the night we
sang our way home and laughed and talked.
It’s times like these when I realize
even though Susie grew up in Norway and I grew up in the U.S. we were so alike.
Some color boomboxes, taste in music and some interests. Yes we are different
in ways but alike in so many. It is probably due to our princess genes.
P.S. it's Whit
