Temporary Layoff Day

Not all State Employees are required to take the mandatory furlough days, but I am one of the lucky ones. I am so thankful that I have a good job- but it doesn't make having to take a day off unpaid extremely easier to deal with. Most furlough days I stay home and clean house or pay bills.... Fortunately the government selected the days to make long weekends...which is a plus.

This month my friend Sandy from work who refuses for photos to be taken of herself, invited me to go to Tacoma to do some shopping. So we met and headed to the mall. I hadn't ever eaten in the Nordstrom's Cafe: it was overpriced and kind of blah, but whatever. At least I can now say I've eaten there. After shopping and lunch, I met up with my hubby and we headed to The Brick for dinner/drinks with his sister and the beloved Zabel's. We stayed way too long and spent way too much money, but had a fun evening.
