Considering I'm like a foot taller than her and she was in a leg brace, I had to 'slow my roll' walking through the mall. We had a GREAT TIME ( I think ?!?!?)
It's true! I know it was hard to slow down especially when you had such an action-packed day...! I felt bad slowing down the group but appreciated the considerations.
Thanks SO MUCH for making time for us. I had a WONDERFUL afternoon and truly enjoyed meeting you. Great stories and fantastic encouragement to grow and move on with life.
Confession always has some good stories of times past and present. Kind of 'that was me then' and 'this is me now'. He's exploring some areas that I've shied away from - so it's interesting to me to hear what he's learned and how he's putting things together.
Funny thing, Lisa pegged us for Apostates right away. LOL Out of the whole huge mall she found the two apostates who, in my opinion, looked like pretty normal people. Must have been the horns and t-shirts with big red letters: EX-JW. (j/k) But she DID walk straight to us and declared us Apostates in front of everyone...!!
I can only speak for myself - but it was well worth the trip and I LOVED meeting you. Enjoyed meeting Confession, too - but we've met a few times before. Lunch was fun especially since I've never been to a Rainforest Cafe. The food was delicious. The conversation interesting. The company engaging.
btw, I get 'lost' at the South Coast Plaza....
OMG! That place is HUGE...!! I didn't realize that there were two (or more) separate buildings but saw the sign and went to underground parking then into the mall, found a bookstore and did some work for a little while. Called Confession and told him I was there. The lost cell signal or something. When we finally connected, it still took maybe 20 minutes (??) until we could meet. Then turns out that I was in the smaller part of the mall - like an annex. If I had known how big that place actually was, and how confusing it could be, I could have saved us some time. And there are TWO carousels.
South Coast Plaza is an adventure in itself...!!
Fun Day. Thank you, Lisa and Confession. I enjoyed every minute of it. (Could have stayed longer in the Puzzle store, though...)
