Mr. Moneybags

Big Buckaroo: Hey honey, I know you have been wanting some new jeans/clothes, so why don't I give you a hundred dollars and you can go shopping by yourself on Saturday Morning?

The Park Wife: Huh? (puzzled look on face)

Big Buckaroo: shopping, money, no kids!


The Park Wife: Huh? (with expression on face of glee and surprise, is this my cheap, I mean frugal husband?)

Well, needless to say I am getting ready for my morning away. I am going to the nearest "big" town about 35 miles away. It can be called "big" because yes my friends, there is a Starbuck's! So, watch out, I am going to be sitting in Starbuck's deciding where to go to buy my new jeans in about an hour and a half.

To you big city money bags, be excited for me! We rural folks don't have many places to wear Manola Blanhik's, so some Gap jeans are a big deal.

For all the other Park Wives out there living off a state salary but enduring because of the Park amenities (and a good looking hubby), I will be thinking of you while sipping my hot beverage of choice!

I will let everyone know how fabulous my new jeans, etc. are soon, maybe even a picture or two!

Have a wonderful weekend,
The Park Wife

Off to the big city myself today, but to look for little boy jeans ;)

Hope you have a great day my friend! Will think of you and toast you with my own White Chocolate Mocha... you know I am gonna be hitting the Starbucks too! (Oh, and the big mall here is about 35 miles away too! funny huh?!)

Sorry to say ... but I have dozens of Starbucks around me and I don't drink coffee .. so they are wasted on me. But, I might talk them in to dragging one over to your State Park so you can be happy! It would just have to be taken straight East on I-40 and a slight turn to "the park." LOL

I hope you are enjoying your day (as I type) - so please take pictures and show us what you got! I'm excited for you@

Hope you had fun and found some great, reasonably priced jeans.

That sounds so wonderful! I love it when I get to do something just for me! I hope you had a great time.

I hope you had an awesome time. I love Chai Lattes, not a coffee drinker, but do love tea. Where'd you get the jeans?
