Today I took a much needed break from everything and went shopping. It didn't feel like a marathon shopping trip that normally takes place when you combine Mom, myself, and the simple fact that we haven't shopped in about a month (or two or three). What was going to be a simple trip around Southaven, running to return things to Dillard's, picking up framed items from Nebco, and a Target trip turned into a jaunt to Free People and Anthropologie, who just happen to be conveniently located right next door to each other. We also stopped by a pet grooming store, where I came to the final conclusion that I am going to have to get Oscar groomed (super sad). How do you pick a groomer? Dad is pretty convinced that PetSmart/Petco should be in the running while Mom and I are firmly against it. I really hate the idea that I'm going to have to cut all his hair, but if I don't it will just keep growing until he looks like this:
And personally, I think Oscar will be so much more happy when he can see and without a literal mop of hair. (Plus, I don't think his owners, aka me, would really like to manually separate each cord so they don't get matted together. I am just not that patient.) So, I'm on the look out for a really awesome groomer. If you know of one, please let me know. I'm looking for someone a little artistic because my poor puppy dog is not just going to get shaved and be done with it. He's going to get hair cuts.
On an entirely different note, tomorrow the ladies of my church are headed to a weekend long retreat to further commune with God. A few ladies from the church are giving their testimonies, including my Mother, who warned me this morning that there will be weeping involved. I can only imagine what she will be talking about but just thinking about her speaking brings tears to my eyes, so who knows what actually hearing her talk will be like. I'm really looking forward to this weekend. All of the women in the church are wonderful ladies and I can't wait to get to know them better. However, it will mean that I will probably be absent from the blog again for a good while (all weekend and even Monday). Before my hiatus, I had decided that I was going to take Sunday off from blogging, which means I'll really only be missing two posts (Saturday and Monday). I hope you enjoy your weekend, I know I will mine!
