it was long overdue, an outing with dear dana.  i am happy to get in some dana time right before the baby comes and right before the holiday craziness begins for her!

we quickly set a date to meet up and we did our usual routine.  i was on my merry way to pick her up when my baby brain kicked into full gear.  i drove right past her place.  listening intently to the music in my car, relaxed, and ready to eat some yummy food, i just plain passed up her place!  it was only until i drove up to a familiar street that i knew i was way past the street she lives on!  ha!  i called her and laughed about my story, as i was turning back around to pick her up.

off to southport grocery we went.  i ordered the southern {house made sausage, red onion & PQM’s pimento cheese, and a jam-filled buttermilk biscuit} and dana ordered the hash {shredded potatoes, red onion, mushroom, peppers, white cheddar topped with scrambled eggs & chive-sour cream}…so delish and filling!  we just absolutely love that place!  after brunch, we walked to anthro – we always must make a pit stop there!  we oohed and awed over the glittery holiday dresses in their store.  we then stopped by cvs for some essentials and then trekked our way to  jenis for some delicious ice cream.  we sat there for a bit, deep in conversation.  it was so calm and relaxing.  i love hanging out with her!  she is such a good friend.  we can talk about anything and that is very comforting.  just a really great, fun day with a silly friend.

happy day!
