So, what do you do when it's 8:30pm and you're at a Payless and the shoes you want don't come in the size you need them in?
It's time for Bridesmaids on a Mission!

The Mission: Get from the Payless in Hodgkins to the David's Bridal in Lombard before they close in half an hour.
How: Any means necessary!

So, yeah, we needed to order our shoes for Jen's wedding before I left for Europe. The Payless was stupid and didn't have shoes that came in the right sizes so we decided on David's Bridal, which was in Lombard. So... Nad hoped in the drivers seat and we were off, zipping around cars every which way. We were making pretty good time until we got stuck behind a green triumph-like car (so I see any car that looks like that and assume it's a triumph) who was going like 3 miles per hour and then got stuck by a stupid freight train, damn! So we had to sit behind this loser in the triumphthing who was old and scanning all the young girls who walked by. It was gross. Seriously, if MattyK turns into an old guy in a Triumph checking out teenagers I will do the honors of shooting him...or at least ramming into his car. Anyways...the train passes and the car turns, so we're off zooming around cars all over the place and we finally arrive at the destination: 9:01. We pull up to the front door and Jenny runs in while Nad parks. Jen hasn't been kicked to the curb yet so we figure all must be good. So Nad parks, we run out of the car, run into the store, not even paying attention to any of the saleswomen and run to the back where the shoes are to find Jenny being helped by a wonderful saleswoman who found us exactly the shoes we needed. So, when I return from Europe I shall have a pair of lilac strappy heels awaiting me. It was a brilliant night!

After our mission was completed we got some ice cream at Coldstone and came up with a semi-plan for Jenny's bachelorette party. Pottery, food, bowling, thongs...all good. Too bad I won't be there to plan any of it :(
