I slept in, got up when L called, and then they came over around
11. We had brunch at Trudy's near campus, and then went to Highland
mall and ratted. It was great fun. We got Vegas jewelry at Claire's &
made H try on a green dress at Dillard's. It had a ruched
bustline so it made Holly look like she had a bosom; she was so
deligthed

L took Holly to Helzberg, her favorite 'real jewelry' store, and
they fussed and cooed over her when L said wanted to look at
solitaires :) "Oh, she's a perfect Size 7, would you look at that?"--
holding up the BIG mirror so she can see what she looks like wearing
the rock, bla bla, it was hilarious. H was NOT into being fussed
over, but I thought it was a hoot. Apparently, she and Jimmy have
talked marriage, but he hasn't actually popped the question. She says
she is insisting on "a ring and a scene," as she put it, before she
considers them to be 'official'. I think that's adorable. (J-Law
agrees re: ring and scene, btw)

H says Jimmy wants to wear a zoot suit on the big day and they
don't want a wedding party, just them.

When she comes back Tuesday, we're going to Clarksville to see their
ring selection.

H was saying she didn't want anything that stuck up a whole lot
from the setting, which kind of rules out most of the traditional
solitare type rings. I really like some of these.

We went back to L&B's and 'divvied the loot', and then Uncle B came
home from work. We went to Fajita night, met Sweetie there. It was a nice
day, good day with the family.

I think I'm inspired to get into better shape & lose some weight. No
crazy diets, just better eating and exercise habits in general.
