day out

The day after Christmas B needed to exchange a pair of jeans at Old Navy and we wanted to stop at Best Buy to pick up a web cam. We went to Walden Galleria. I was able to avoid this busy mall during December except for getting stuck in mall traffic a bit every night on my way home from work. This mall was already big and has expanded a lot in the last few years by adding on a new wing with upscale stores and four or five restaurants. Also several more big anchor stores. They have built several new parking garages and we still had a terrible time finding somewhere to park. I think everyone in Buffalo and Canada turned up for the sales.

So we are in Old Navy, the line is fifty people long. I've lost Bill. I call. I text. No response. I pick up a couple camisoles in colors I don't already have and a cute gray tank top because I can't resist anything in that sweatshirt gray color. You can never have too much of that. I get in that line. It moves along quickly because there are eight cashiers. I have a clear view of register 8 from my place in line. There is a little flurry of activity at register 8 so I look and see a poor little maybe three or four year old boy standing in a puddle of puke that he had just barfed up all over his sneakers. He just stood there looking so sad that this didn't bother me as much as I would have expected. Watching the clean-up gave me something to do while standing in line. After my purchase I stood around the front of the store waiting for B. I finally spotted him way in the back of the store. He was heading to the dressing room to try on his jeans. So then we stood in the line again.
We followed up with dinner at Bravo, a trip to the Verizon store and Sherlock Holmes at Transit Regal Cinema. I spotted L'Occitane on our walk to Bravo. I didn't even know we had one in our mall. I had bought this honey and lemon cologne at L'Occitane in Scottsdale a couple years back and loved it. I ran in to buy another bottle and was delighted to get it on sale and in this precious bag. Plus I had a nice chat with the sales girl who noticed I was wearing an NCCC hoodie and she had just finished up a semester there and thinks it's a great school which pleased B to no end when I told him.
