this was not me.. :)
this morning at the crack of dawn.. I went shopping.. alone.. the headache was still there thumping away.. and a hot shower helped.. but I was worried it would take over my day.. I made my way to U village and started the shops.. I had a game plan and intended not to stray.. ok.. but I did have to factor in a new Christmas top ;)
I beat the crowds.. there was valet parking spots.. I was in and out with no lineups.. moving to alderwood mall though.. that was a different story.. it was packed.. I found my space.. thank you secret.. and shopped until I dropped.. I made sure to take rest breaks.. and drink breaks.. and be on my game.. normally I am dehydrated and tired and crap out after two hours.. but I was in light flexible clothing.. and I was ready to attack.. I strolled past the Santa Clause lineup and was blown away at all the crazies.. parents and children! the Sunday before Christmas and their sweet little girls and boys are dressed up in ringlets.. and pea coats.. and going ape-shit! I even saw one little boy on his daddy’s shoulders licking his fathers head.. and the dad didn’t seemed too phased by it either.. he looked DONE..
Dustin called me and told me Aunty Jen stole Olive away for the afternoon. .so we moved out “date plans” from a dinner to a lunch.. he came and met me and we enjoyed our feast.. it was a rocky start to get to that feast though.. I sat at a dirty table while the bartender talked about her tattoos for 15 minutes.. I was standing bedside the table for 5.. and I finally crapped out and caved due to the 15 bags that were cutting of my water retained arms.. but the host was beyond nice enough to lend me her cell phone to call Dustin.. mine had died.. (which I think was very peace-fuly meant to be)..
I successfully shopped.. and covered my bases.. and all I have left are some stocking stuffers.. it feels great to be done.. and I will be in bed early tonight!
phew..
