Okay, I'm not big into shopping. No big surprise, but I thought I should take my daughter out to buy a fall jacket or some boots or a laptop bag or all of the above because I know she's going to need these items for her first semester at Gallaudet University. Plus, it's Miranda's birthday on Wednesday and she turns 18, so I thought this mini-shopping spree could be considered birthday gifts.
However, visits to two shopping centers and multiple big and small stores rendered no purchases, other than a green tea ice cream cone. Miranda didn't like any thing we found. Most often saying that's for "old ladies." She tried to talk me into visiting Ross for Less at the Fremont Hub, but I can't handle Ross on a Sunday, especially after all the shopping we'd already done. So we compromised. We went to the Olive Garden for dinner and had a nice meal.
The best part of our time together was watching American's Funniest Videos...A show that been on virtually her entire life and has always been fun to watch together as a family. It's a very Deaf friendly show. Miranda never fails to laugh at the misadventures of cats, dogs, and kids displayed on the show....and it warms my heart to the core to see her so full of joy.
Now, I'm down to one more visit with Miranda before she leaves for Washington, DC (stopping for a visit in Toronto to see her grandparents before she begins college).
