Yesterday was my youngest daughter’s senior prom. She asked me to spend the day with her while she got ready for her prom. Knowing how my daughter is about planning everything out to the minute and if anything didn’t go exactly how she reacted. The first thing was she was late picking me up by 15 minutes. Then we went straight to the mall for her to have her tanning session at the spa place for 20 minutes. We were to have lunch together at Garfield’s in the mall after her tanning. Well, she decided that she was not hungry since she eat a big breakfast that morning. First, let me say I am shocked, my daughter is NOT a breakfast eater! Her boyfriend/fiance does have a positive effect on her eating habits. She has not had the best eating habits. She hates 99% most vegetables and no fruits at all. She sure ate all of them as a baby….lol. Anyway, I have wander off on rambling here.

She ended up going to the nail salon in the mall instead of eating lunch. There was a long wait to get in so I discussed with my daughter about going and getting some lunch for myself after 30 minutes since I am a diabetic and need to stay close to my schedule. She looked disappointed that I was not going to sit there with her while she constantly called her boyfriend on the cell phone with little reminders for him. She told me that it would take an hour to an hour and half for them to do her nails. Then she was going to JC Penneys hair salon to have her hair curled.

I went to Garfield as I had planned instead of one of the fast food restaurants in the food court. Also it is very noisy in the food court. I like Garfields because it is nicer, quieter and the food is great. I decided on a half of a Mediterranean sandwich and a garden salad. I got my food very quickly and was able to meet my daughter at the hair salon to watch her get all her hair made in curls. I took pictures of her and the hair stylist. The transformation process was turning my daughter into the princess look she was wanting.

The traffic was getting heavier on the way home and I reminded her of the two things she told me she had hoped she wouldn’t forget. She quickly got the other two errands done and she decided to go a definitely route home. We are glad she decided that route as there was a very bad accident on the main route I found out later and we would have been tied up in traffic for sure. So that was a blessing. She dropped me off at my house and later to go help her put on her dress.

She called shortly and said Cody and her had to go to his other grandmother’s house after she got dressed. Her dad and I hurried over to help her. Well, actually Cody’s mom and I helped her get into her dress. We had a time getting that zipper up. Her dress is as she calls it “A Big Poofy Dress”, has tight bodice and poofy at the bottom. Her dad and I would never believe she would ever wear one as she told us so many times as she was growing up she would NEVER wear a Big Poofy Dress! Now she was standing there looking like a Princess all grown up. Hard to believe how quick she has grown up in a lot of ways. She still has a lot of maturing to do, however I was one very proud mom last night at how beautiful my daughter and her fiance looked. We took lots of pictures of Cody and her, Cody and his Mom, our daughter with us. Can’t wait to download all of them.

Will write more later about the Promenade at the high school.
