So we went Christmas shopping. I’d already done a bunch but this was to finish it all off, including for a few friends I have at work. And the Significant had stuff to do too.
First we hit Walmart and it was sort of earlyish so it wasn’t so bad. There were lots of people there and I admit some of them made me want me to go…
Next we went to Bevmo, which was nearby and a bit better of an experience. I had Jack Daniels to buy for my friend at work and some little miniature bottles for a friend’s basket I am making. I don’t know if you’ve heard of Moscow Mules but SO is giving this friend a set of copper Moscow Mules cups so that’s why I was getting little vodkas. We coordinate nicely, after all.
Then we moved on to the mall.
Now in spite of Jim’s face here, it’s not that bad. It’s an outdoor mall. I am sure they don’t have those where most of you live. Whenever the SO parks, he chooses the farthest away spot you can imagine.
Which admittedly makes me go a little Sylar.
Anyway, we found a spot and headed into a place called Marshall’s. I don’t know that they have these everywhere, but they are sort of a little of everything. I didn’t get anything here but the SO did.
We then headed for lunch at Red Robin. After that we hit a Hallmark store, where the SO bought stuff again, but not me, and then Bath and Body Works. I was buying stuff here for females in my family. Place was a nightmare.
I was tempted to do this.
But it gets worse! LOL.
we leave to finally go to somewhere other than the mall and we can’t find the car. I thought we were further down then we were, because as I said, he parks far. We wandered around this parking lot for like 20 minutes and I was starting to panic thinking someone had stolen it with all the crap we’d just bought in it. Fortunately, that was not the case.
Then we hit Bed, Bath and Beyond which wasn’t so bad at all.
But then…we went to Target
Seriously scary stuff.
Then finally the grocery store. Right. Ugh.
So when we finally got home and put everything away at last
Right so there was our day.

Love all the pics and gifs you used to describe your day 😀
Had no idea what Moscow mules were so I googled. Those are cool.
I hate parking far away but I’m pretty good at finding spots close by. Just have to have some patience for driving around and waiting. If Grammy’s with me, we use her handicap parking pass so that makes it easier sometimes. Unless there are other close spots then I’ll take those instead and leave Grammy in the car.
Everything you’re describing is Chesterfield Towne Center. Its an indoor mall near me but has all those stores: Red Robin (yum), instead of Marshalls we have a Home Goods which is almost the same thing (my city does have a Marshalls tho), Hallmark, Body Works, etc. We do have an outdoor mall that does have most of those stores, except Marshalls. The outdoor mall is more for high-end shopping with stores like Nordstrom and Banana Republic. I hate bath and body works. My friends love it and have to go in if we’re near one to check out the new scents and stuff. The smells get to me and I have to wait outside the store while they take forever to come back out without buying anything 😦
I’m sorry you lost your car for a little while but don’t older people sometimes do that LOL (Don’t be mad at me, I’m just trying to be a little funny! Love ya!)
Target can be scary and Walmart. But glad you made it home and were happy! Hopefully no more shopping now and you can relax with SO. I read bluemeetsgreen’s story panel, stay home and have your other kind of marathon day instead today 😀
