I always seem to have a hard time getting back into the swing of things after taking a trip. Even a short one like our jaunt to Chicago. I blame it on the recycled airplane air :)
1. Since I'm a lazy blogger, I haven't gotten around to blogging about Chicago, but you can read about our trip on Chris's, Avitania's and RE's blog. I will say that it was such a fun time! I think I slept about 20 hours in total which probably contributed significantly to my jet lag. Although I really enjoyed going out, I think the best night of the trip was just hanging out with RE and LF at their abode and chilling. Mojitos, pizza and the Olympics - a very fun night! And yes, RE, there is quite a bit of video of you singing :) Maybe I should auction the footage on eBay. *evil grin*
2. The school year is almost upon us. I've got about 6 weeks left before I go back, but Cole goes back in a little over two weeks. In preparation, we went school shopping yesterday at American Eagle and Abercrombie. Of those two stores, I much prefer the atmosphere at AE. I must be getting old because I cringe when we enter Abercrombie because of the smell (they spray cologne every 30 minutes) and the music. I had an enlightening conversation with one (cute - according to Cole) employee:
Me: Do these jeans come in 31 length
Cute, yet dumb employee (CYDE): Um.... I dunno.
Me: Do you think you could possibly check?
CYDE: You want me to check?
Me: That would be nice (rolls eyes):
CYDE: (mumbles into walkie talkie, pauses to listen, mumbles again before ringing up our purchases and not saying anything)
Me: Did you find out
CYDE: Oh yeah.... they don't
Me: Gee, thanks for all of your help (by this point, I want to hit her on the head with a bottle of Fierce cologne).
My advice to Cole at the end of this conversation- don't ever date a girl like that - Intelligence trumps cute every time.
3. Speaking of dates, Cole has one on Friday. He's not really calling it a "date" since the girl has to bring a friend along because her parents don't know Cole. I gave him RE's dating advice: "be funny and bring money." The money part will come from me but he's responsible for his own funny. I'm going to drop him off at the mall and then pick him up a few hours later. Maybe I should wear a disguise and sneak into the movie. Nah, I'll let him have his moment :)

aawww Cole dating, the world is moving too fast!!!! Tell him to have a lovely time and be relaxed, and don't get nekkid within the first 3 hours...
1. I'm glad you guys had a great time!
2. Ugh, walking past the perfume cloud outside Abercrombie makes me feel like I've been hit in the head with a migraine mallet.
3. Be funny and bring money is the best dating advice ever for guys! I wonder what the girl version is...
I was at JCrew yesterday and noticed a woman buying back-to-school clothes for her son. Specifically, he was picking out two or three of their fleece jackets -- which are, like, $60 to $100 each. Jeez. Having kids is expensive! I would SO not be that mom. Heh.
Cole is dating?? OMG...isn't he still like 11 or something? I'm getting old.
You should try clothes shopping for four. UGH. Eliza starts preschool this year and the older three are in Kindy, fourth and fifth grades. I spend a fortune on clothes, shoes, and school supplies.
I'm begging the grandmas to cover winter coats, hair cuts, and meal tickets for the first month.
Boooo! Bad customer service!
Are Cole and this girl still an item?
