Well, since I didn't have enough $$ to shop like I wanted, I had every intention of staying home on Friday, but Pier One Imports has this brilliant marketing scheme called subscription email that beckons me to go shop anyway.
The bad thing is that Pier One is in the same vicinity as the mall, which brings up parking issues and Josh's mall temptation.
I have not really like the mall since two SHOOTINGS have occurred there. I avoid it while school is out (both have been gang-related, but there are slight odds that those kids might be in school every once in awhile). Police monitoring has not seemed to quash the problem, so I typically avoid the mall unless it's midday in the week.
Josh just wanted to go, though; so I indulged him. Parking was a b****. I finally found a spot after avoiding oncoming idiots rubbernecking to find a spot while attempting to drive. In the mall, shopping was not bad, since ppl were divided among many different shops. I did find presents for my grandparents and another huge idea for Josh, so the trip wasn't a bust.
Oh yeah... Lucy has started pulling ornaments off the tree. I already have a 1/4 naked tree (the bottom 1/4) due to trying to avoid these problems, but she actually gets up on her hind legs (we call it prairie-doggin') and goes for the higher ones.
Macy hasn't touched the tree yet. I think he learned his lesson last year.
