"Pool Party"

My sister, Julie, has a pool at her house. I don't get the chance to visit her very often, but a few weeks ago, I told her we should schedule a day for me to come down and swim. We consulted our calendars and picked yesterday.

It POURED all day.

So here's our pool party, plan B.

She took me out to eat at the Cheesecake Factory. I'd never been there before, and I've decided it's good for my calorie intake and my spending habits that I don't live any closer to it than I do! WOW that was some good food! I had the chicken artichoke soup...and it was fabulous. It seemed improper to leave without at least trying the cheesecake, so I chose the Snickers cheesecake. YUM.

Did I mention it POURED? When we finally landed in the mall (after shuffling together under my tiny umbrella), we had to pause for Julie's shoes to dry out...

...and my umbrella to stop dripping. I'm talking to Mom on the phone here...who was informing me that at home, the sun was out. SUPER.

By the time we were done shopping, the sun was out at her house too, but by that time, we didn't have enough time left for pool lounging. Sad, sad day for Bekah.

So here we are...at our "pool party." Sigh. Maybe next time.
