What a Small World!

And we are back! Hubs and I went Palm Beach and spent the day sipping champagne, water, eating chocolate covered strawberries, and shopping. Everything I purchased today is on my bed. My clothes and shoes are already hiding in my closet. My gift card is in my drawer. My husband bought nothing. The best part of the day, besides my free goodies, was making a new friend. Beth, the manager of the Bond No.9 New York City fragrance line, exchanged phone numbers with me. We will get together with her and her husband soon. She lives in the same complex as friends of ours from our area up north who winter here. She also wrote down some wonderful restaurants for us to try in the meantime. To top it all off, we have another set of friends who live at the same complex. We are meeting them for dinner Sunday night! What a small world! What a great day!

@DianneN If you really want to do it again, then I am wiling to have you ship it all to me ! That's great you hit it off with certain folks like that! Maybe I talk to the wrong people . . . most folks just make me want to runaway .

I will ship it all to you, just to do it again. She is such a lovely lady and so adorable, plus, she loves my husband. We spent half my shopping time gabbing. The connection is a boon!

@DianneN My daughter teases me, about my choice of body scent. It's 'Playboy, Play it lovely' LOL She taunted, 'Oh Mom, now I know what you've been up to, when nobody's around!'

My husband told me we are full in the friends department. He said this better be the last. This lady is from New Jersey and is as cute as can be. We hit it off last year when we first met.

You make friend wherever you go. That’s a wonderful quality! I love the gold bottles with what looks like a large gem on them. I assume it’s perfume?

This lady and I hit it off last year, got more lovey last week, and cemented out friendship today. She loves my husband and thinks he will get along so well with hers. Today I caved and bought three. They are perfumes and scents of Dubai, but we refuse to call them Dubai. They are out of this world!!!! I still smell from them. I bought Indigo, Amethyst, and Emerald from that collection. Next time I will buy Gold and Platinum. They are ridiculously expensive, but so yummy! My husband approved of each. Plus, they can be mixed and matched. Oh, the joy of stuff!

My husband told me we don't have room for any more friends in our life, but I disagree. That's why I love my friends here on myLot, too. You can't have enough friends. Yes, we are two peas in a pod. Thank you!
