Nutso week last week with a 4-day conference wherein I delivered a half-day training session and did an hour-long speaking session jammed in between all-day booth duty and evening “festivities”.
So, the weekend was a bit chill. More than usual.
We did get out to do some shopping for decor-type stuff for the TV room.
We found an end table that we both liked and got it annd a couple of other things. Upon placing the table in the room, Mrs DCF decided that we should have gotten a second one.
So, I drove and I wasn’t even going to go in the store. It’s a lightweight table. Mrs DCF talked me into going in as the second unit that we saw was up on a high shelf. So, in I go.
My only criteria: “We’re going in. We’re getting the table and we’re leaving.”
On the way in, a customer offered us her “Friends and Family” coupon. 20% off everything. Even stuff already marked down.
Yay…
10-dollar candy was 7 dollars. Still didn’t buy it, but I can confirm that it is normally 10 dollars.
Sooooo. Shopping ensues.
Artwork. Pillows. Said end table. Stocking stuffers.
Picked up Chinese food on the way home.
“Oh! Hey! Their sister store has clothes and stuff and the coupon works there, too. We should go there.”
Ate dinner.
Went to said store to find the entire mall was locked down by firefighters and everyone was evacuated.
“Let’s go to the other store across town!”
Hit every green light and had open lanes on the highway. It was meant to be…. Except that store was closed, not doing the holiday hours thing.
Nice drive though.
So, back to the other mall. Things opened up shortly after. Did some shopping. Holiday gifts for the kids is done.
This is where I confirmed the 10-dollar candy was normally 10 dollars as they had not marked down the last 2 jars.
I really wanted the “Raised By Elves” ugly Christmas sweater, but I don’t really wear sweaters.
). It was fun, I kept it quite civilised as I just got over a pretty bad sinus infection.
