May 6, 2007 7:30 The place? The Nord. It was Nordstrom's customer appreciation night and we had a blast. Great band played throughout the evening. The only clinker is they sang the theme to the Love Boat. Food was fabulous and spending time with friends, priceless. We got our nails done, for free and picked up quite a few give aways throughout the store. What really makes the whole experience is friends. CourtneyS found a dress for a wedding she and Mike are attending. Lisa P was going from dept to dept finding frocks for her perusal and try on. Some found shoes, others clothes, jewelry, cosmetics, perfume and hair product. But in the midst of finding stuff, we always came back and found one another. We didn't have to weep with anyone weeping last night, but for sure there was a lot of rejoicing with those who rejoice cause they found what they had been looking for. I think those who don't know me very well think I like this night for the snob appeal it may have. No, I love this night cause it is girlfriend time and also for every dollar you spend on your Nord card you get ten points. It makes it much easier to get the $20.00 reward certificates. In past times Jennifer S, Pamela H, Lisa P and me have boogied down right there in the shoe dept and it didn't matter if anyone cared or not. Seems to me those that looked on might be a tad jealous to see us having so much fun. We have invited perfect strangers to get up dance with us. Some take us up others walk away quickly. At one event we all had our brows done by Christi Harris of Christi Harris in Dallas. I think she was doing some mercy plucking and shaping cause she thought each and everyone of us were in a bad way brow wise. Sometimes Peggy comes to these nights and the fun takes it up a notch. She is usually buying Reefs for someone who doesn't know the comfort of that flip flop or in the toddler dept buying clothes for the grand kids. The majority celebrating the evening are girlfriends. There is a smattering of husbands or boyfriends with some. I am glad Roy doesn't have a care to come to this night. He would quench my spirit. After all these years he doesn't understand window shopping. Why would I try on clothes and shoes I can't afford or want to buy? It is the fun of it all. The best fun is what Lisa calls the fun of the hunt. Finding something on sale and it looks good on ya. Many think you have bad self esteem when someone gives a compliment and the reply is, "I got this for $10.00 and the original price was $90.00. Girl, I am bragging and want all to know the hunt was successful. The next Nord night will be in December. I can't wait!

I'm just so glad that Courtney found my fuzzy, furry hoop animal print earrings and my silver, leaves dangly, loud bracelet from Charming Charlie. What a topper to my private shopping event night at the Nord.
By no means do I think there's anything snooty about the Nord or its special shopping times. All are welcome at all times.
Tonight when I asked a woman where she found her "gorgeous" purse on her shoulder and she said Neiman's, I felt "left out." Then I was embarassed.
"Love Boat" and whatever the title is to the Tony Orlando song - "Knock three times on the ceiling if you want me..." I could have done without that one. I also enjoyed watching people get ambushed by the lady working for Smashbox cosmetics. Hee hee! You did forget the best part: a voucher for FREE WHITE CHOCOLATE BREAD PUDDING!!
