Lots of women I know have mother-daughter days out about town, shopping and getting facials. My mom and I certainly like to get our shop-on together, but more often than not we tend to have mother-daughter days in. I'm proud to say that my mom is the person who first taught me how to loaf around; stay in your pajamas all day, watch three movies in a row, eat sugary snacks and drink warm beverages, loafing. We had one of those days today. Normally, the day after Christmas we like to go to the mall to get in on all the super sales happening. This year, however, we decided to switch it up, opting to check out the new Tanger outlet mall in Long Island and stay in for today. As I wrote yesterday, now that I'm starting to feel healthy, I'm able to enjoy loafing around.
The highlight of the day was, without a doubt, brunch, for which I made myself an omelet, bacon and a fried tomato. The day was consumed with planning our shopping adventure for tomorrow. We have a mall map, a route plotted, driving directions, shopping lists, and (perhaps most importantly) coupons. It is on. As usual, the day was topped off by a cup of tea, made even better by some tiramisu. Life is sweet. Thanks for teaching me how to taste it, mom.
