Insane Candle
Nov. 29th, 2008 12:38 pmAs many of you will see when my tw**** post arrives - I have been in a purgatory like place today. It is so congested, it being the day Santa arrives. Wow. Very scary.
Attention all: when you go anywhere where you will interact with people... BEHAVE YOURSELVES! Really; everyone needs to take their time and realize that when you are polite and relaxed, life is nicer to live.
I have to admit, I enjoyed complaining a few times and wouldn't let our party of six be stuffed in a table for four... But I was nice about moving slowly through the crowds and when interacting with the deranged & unhappy folk. I was especially nice to the staff & servers - which was helpful in getting the just available, bigger table.
We're going back in after lunch at the attached restaurant... Wish me luck and send the zen koans my way.
Mall of Madness
Nov. 28th, 2008 12:34 pmAt least I've gotten a present for (someday in the not too distant future) B.I.L. And the tree getting this morn was relatively painless. It isn't as crazy as it could be...
Got free coffee from D&D while wandering to and fro. It helps that I'm not here to actually shop. Though if something is seen I can pick it up. It helps to just be a "bystander" instead of a ""shopper."
