We’re getting pounded by some storms right now. Should be over in a couple of hours – giving way to much cooler weather tomorrow. I think the high is supposed to be only 62 degrees.
We made a late run to Home Depot this evening. Lily was asleep when we pulled in. Neither of them (Lily and Leo) have slept much today. Should be an early, and quiet evening around here.
A quick thought… You’re older than me, so there!
We hit the mall this morning. Lots on sale. Not sure if anyone was buying anything, but there were some good sales to be had.
I, however, was incredibly irritated five minutes into the trip. I went this morning with the intention of getting a pair of jeans. Diane stopped at Abercrombie. I looked for a few minutes and got bothered by the fact that it was impossible to navigate a stroller through the store. Then there seemed to be no rhyme or reason to the order. Jeans were here, they were there. I couldn’t find anything so I left. Lily and I went down to get a drink while Diane stayed and pulled out some clothes for me to come back and try on. When I walked in, someone turned on the music. Loud. How am I going to shop with that garbage blaring? I gathered up the pile Diane wanted me to try on and went to the changing rooms. Locked. Now I’ve got to find someone to unlock the changing room.
Ok, let’s see what Diane has picked out. Some kind of a light sweater. Don’t like it, not even going to try it on. A dress shirt. Sleeves too long – forget it. Finally, a pair of jeans. First of all – I don’t like button-fly. Secondly, they are too long. And last – I can’t stand changing clothes in a unisex changing room. And to make matters worse – it has a high door. Everyone outside can see what I’m doing from the knees down. I grabbed the wad of clothes I had come to try on and dumped them in the barrel outside the door and headed on out. A complete waste of my time and now I’ve got to try and not let this ruin my trip to the mall.
But really – who can shop in that place? The music was loud, it stunk to high-heaven of their cologne samples that were sprayed everywhere, you can’t find anything and you have no privacy in the changing rooms. I won’t be back there again.
