Went up to Greensboro today to see my parents, rummage through assorted Christmas decorations, grab old photos for a holiday project I’m working on, and have dinner with my friend Jeff who I disturbingly hadn’t seen in more than a year. It was a good day, except when my mom got all freaked out thinking she’d lost her box of old and sentimentally important ornaments…
And boy, did I have fun at the grand opening of the new Staples this morning. There were tons of freebies and dirt cheap stuff and I also got my mom’s Christmas present at a 40% discount…
I rarely ever heard about grand openings in San Francisco, and even if I did hear about them, they were usually so mobbed that non-masochists like myself wouldn’t bother attending. Here, on the other hand, I’ve been to three in the past week (a Lowes Foods and a Compare Supermarket in addition to the aforementioned Staples) and it’s been pretty danged cool…
I think I’m becoming a 1950s housewife, and it both frightens and excites me. When I start contemplating a career in Tupperware, I hope someone will please have the presence of mind to kill me…
Only a week until I get my hubby back, a concept much more exciting than Tupperware…
