So on Saturday I woke up early again – curses – after staying up till 2:30 eventually talking to my cousin and his friends. I got up and spoke to Stephen and eventually Simon woke up and made french toast for us and we spread Nutella all over it. Stephen told me when he shared and apartment with Simon they went through a jar of Nutella every month ….
I then went and took an amazing bathe in my Aunt and Uncle’s bathroom – jets, heated sides, skylights, bubble bath all the great things in life! After that a little light shopping in White Plains: comp USA(cannot fix my Uncle’s laptop), independent computer store(same story) and then the Mall!
– we also got pulled over for an illegal u-turn but my Aunt only got a warning, she also, only got a warning last week when she turned into a police car and hit it… –
The Mall was fun, walking around and seeing all the Christmas stuff up I almost felt the holiday spirit… but, not really. They did have a Disney Store and I was tempted with the Nightmare Before Christmas cookie jar and stuffed animals on sale, but controlled myself.
Then home to eat again – yummy corn chowder – and pack, and for some reason I am taking a laptop to SA with me and a mini iPod for my dad which meant my luggage grew on holiday a lot more than expected. The airport was not to bad and then a quick flight home and exhaustion.
I think I have a cold though from my trip as my throat is killing me and my bones ache and I am hot and cold, but hi ho hi ho, off the wok on Sunday, and today.
Sunday though, people are just idiots! As usual it is winter and chilly – so “Close the door!” and if we are out of stock, we are out of stock asking 2 different people will not make the CD/Record/Tape appear! And staring at me with a hang dog look does not help either……
