Please take my word for it. This is what it's like
out there and it's nothing short of nuts out there!
The parking lots have cars stalking shoppers in
order to park as close as possible never thinking about the line up of cars
behind them. You'd think all the honking would switch the dim lightbulb in
their noodles to MOVE OVER so we can pass. I'm surprised that I didn't witness
an accident. However, I did see flashing red and blue lights.
Once inside, there are too many people in too
narrow of spaces like the shoe department of Nordstrom, and the makeup
department for that matter. Customers are running into each other without
an "excuse me" or a even a glance. Basically, you're invisible to
other shoppers. Their glazed eyes will look right through you. I must
acknowledge the service people at Nordstrom were incredibly pleasant and
cheerful! Surprising for 2 days before Christmas.
I am not at all a bah humbug type of person. I'm
just not a mall shopper. I avoid the mall at all costs unless I really need an
outfit or shoes for something special. I don't browse. I buy, then high tail it
out of their as quickly as possible. I don't even know how I got talked
into going right before Christmas.
Actually, I do know! My darling, sugar plum fairy
of a daughter, who is recently 21, wanted to run a quick errand for makeup. You
might be thinking, "Why doesn't she just go herself?". The short
answer is she spent from years 18-20 practicing for the Indy 500. The police in
Illinois and Indiana didn't care for her choice of practice tracks...the
highway. Therefore, her fabulous mom has become her favorite chauffeur for a
second time in her life. March 12th can't come fast enough!
So I was at the mall, unnecessarily, two days before Christmas
with a beautiful 21 year old girl who wanted to spend time with her Mummy!!! At
least that's how I would like to think of it!
