Got up, not too early (that’s always good) and had a quick breakfast at Thom’s in Nassau with the usual bunch. Then it was off to try and get a few christmas shopping things done. I had two non-mall places in mind to go and then thought I might go to Colonie Center. <\/p>\n
At the last minute I turned north and went to choice two of the non-mall places. What a fortuitous choice! Went in to get one thing and they blew me away with fun, nice things. The staff was helpful and around. I had a hand full of tiny things and asked one if I could bring them to the counter while I looked around some more. “I’ll bring them up there for you.” Wow. Wandered around some more, went up to the counter with a few more things. “Would it be all right if I started wrapping these up for you?” Sure. <\/p>\n
Go back to looking around. Can hardly resist buying a few things but decided that really, it was only me who would have liked them. But resist I did. I did not come home with the hedgehog knitted cap. I know… unbelievable. <\/p>\n
I left with two hefty bags of stuff and some incredibly exciting things! Woot! I decided to drive past Starbucks and the cool Tea place in Latham and went to a surprise choice C<\/strong>. I know! And they had what I hoped they would and I had a good time. For kicks I went to a non-mall big store and picked up something close to the one original idea I’d had. Big bag. Little bag. Car trunk full.<\/p>\n Starbucks. Came home and looked everything over and that was all.<\/p>\n Put the down comforter into the duvet (the hard part) and wrestled it all onto the bed because baby it’s cold outside.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I did not come home with the hedgehog knitted cap.
