I did something yesterday I had not done in a while. I just got up and left the house and spent the day wandering around some stores and doing a bit of shopping. There were lots of people out, I guess beating the Black Friday rush. Lots of kids running around everywhere. While I was at the mall I stopped for a slice of pizza. At the table to my left was a little girl about 11 or 12. Then another girl joined her and they were talking in sign language. Pretty soon the Mom sat down and she was signing too. Then the Dad arrived and all four of them were signing. Impossible to tell if one or more of them was deaf but they were really going after it.
At the table to my right there was a grandmother with three kids and she was yelling at them. Quite an interesting dynamic. (the pizza was good).
I enjoy the decorations, the people watching and the music and got in a good bit of walking at the mall.
There were plenty of bargains to be had and I came home with a couple of new blouses and two cocoa cups in my china pattern. They are really cool, with little spoons.
Last night a friend called and I went with her and her husband to see "Last Vegas". Really cute movie, a bit risque to be called PG but funny. I didn't eat but one piece of chicken for dinner and then treated myself to popcorn.
I had contacted the handyman on Tuesday and he came after work and got my Christmas down and moved the hoses into the garage. I think I got that done just in time, is supposed to freeze solid tonight.
After getting a few groceries this morning (remind me never to go to the supermarket again the day before Thanksgiving) I spent the rest of the day unpacking Christmas things, doing laundry and watching TV. I listened to several Christmas CD's and put some aside to take over to the home tomorrow.
I will be heading over to the home in the morning and spending most of the day.
