My 4th of July...

My 4th of July here in Reno, NV was good. Weather wasnt that nice for it reached 106F that seemed like not the right day to be outside. There were down-to-earth sales in every store. Hubby woke me up with a word reminding me " time to wake up and time to go to JC PENNY!" My husband knew the right word to say to wake me up totally. Of course, any woman who loves to go shopping with the husband's approval (I mean, my financer's approval...hehehe) will surely LOVE that!! That's why I LOVE my husband SOO MUCH!! He knows me very well...my dislikes and most specially my likes :-P! We met my friend Michelle, who arrived so late, at JC PENNY. We spent like 4 hours there until my husband decided to leave us and let us do the shopping our own way. You know how women are like??? We can stay in a department store even for an entire day. We finally stopped until me and my friend heard the grumbling noises that were made by our hungry tummy. We went out from JCP finally. My hubby met us at western village for our late lunch. It felt so nice inside the restaurant because of the airconditioning that cooled my whole system. Its VERY HOOOT outside!! Believe me, even hotter than in the Philippines!!! Hubby left us again and michelle and I decided to gamble a little bit. When I finally realized that the slot machine was so hungry and there was NO way of giving me a little consolation I stopped playing and just grabbed my cellphone to call a dear friend while michelle continued playing. She was lucky that day because her machine was a bit friendly and gave her enough consolation for another shopping spree. Around 6:00pm we were on our way to ROSS'. It wasnt a lot of fun because the moment we stepped in there, they announced that they will be closing in 15minutes!! Well, we were not ready to give up yet...we tried every store that was left open. Every store beside Wall-mart was closed early for the holiday. Left without any choices we went to Wall-mart to shop more things that we wanted to send to the Philippines. At 9:30pm hubby called us to remind us that it was time to leave the store to meet him so that we can all watch the fire works...and that ended our shopping spree. Fire work watching was fun!! There were a lot of spectators from different places gather in one area just to witness the 20minutes fire works. But I cant negate the fact that the one we have in the Philippines are a lot better and fancier... these are one of the moments that reminds me on "how much I miss being home".
