Once again, I survived P.V.Mall. It was more of a challenge this time due to the increased number of crazed consumers. I found something suitable for parents & brother. The wife was with me on a rare combined effort and she would suggest things to get and I would think of the results and we'd go look someplace else. (Thanks anyway). I think I'll tackle Metrocenter today. I'm in the mood!
Once I get this last minute stuff done, I concentrate on my pound cake creations. Bertie Botts Every Flavor Cakes....Hmmmmm, I wonder if anyone would notice if....oh, never mind. I have at least 8 of them to make this time, unless more requests come in (and I'd rather they didn't - at least not right away.
After the mall last night, we were invited over to our friend's place. We got there just as the chocolate chip cookies came out of the oven. "Owl + Chocolate = Bliss". To balance things out, they took us over to Souper Salad afterwards. The Chicken Enchilada soup was quite yummy. There's not much that you can really say about salad. There is almost no difference between an average lettuce based salad and a great lettuce based salad. It was very good in its own way. They gave us a Christmas present a little early - a DVD of all of the Wierd Al videos. Very nice. Now all we need at home is a DVD Player. We watched it over there. It was good.
After getting a load of wash done and getting my last minute retail torture session out of the way, I get to go home and try (key word) to get some sleep so I can go back to work tonight with the hope that we still have sites left. I had gone in Friday night to help cover someone being out for the week. (Vacations ending on Wednesday). It was fun. I had stuff to do and didn't get back until 0630 because the s/o at the last stop needed a break, so I stayed. Then I had to fill up the gas tank (with gas this time ;-])
My supplier of questionable thoughts and mental images was under the influence of medication and not in her usual mood. This time of year wears people down in different ways: holiday exhaustion, allergies, the flu, etc... For the moment, my poor ol' easily corrupted mind was given a reprieve. The cupcake was a nice alternative.
It was good to see clouds even without the rain pouring down from them.
What more can I say? Nothing at this time. If I survive the mall, I'll give details later.
