So, we made our way to Perimeter Mall yesterday. Anyone who knows me, knows that I dislike driving, especially to Atlanta. Just the thought of it is enough to make me anxious and uncomfortable. Luckily, I had my 23-year-old co-pilot with me, or as I like to refer to her, "The Human GPS," so I was good. She wanted to drive, only because she said I drive like an old lady. LOL, oh well. I often have to remind "super speeder" that my rate of driving is what has kept me from getting a speeding ticket in 23 years. My only speeding ticket came in February 1988 after leaving Planned Parenthood at the age of 18 with a positive pregnancy test result in hand. Yeah, that was enough to make anybody speed.
Back to the mall. Once there, I found the parking to be a bit overwhelming but finally found a parking space. Inside the mall, there were tons of people. You could definitely tell it was the holiday season. One thing I always find funny is the amount of women walking through the mall in high heeled shoes. Most people go to the mall and spend several hours there, most of it, walking, so it is beyond me why anyone would want to do that in heels. I just don't get it.
One of our last stops was Teavana. The tea smelled pretty good but I'm not a big tea fan. I'm a coffee girl myself but not addicted enough to stand in the long line at Starbucks. Anyway, they were giving out samples of tea at the door, a mixture of Youth Berry and Orange Blossom. It smelled heavenly, and my 15-year-old, the tea drinker, was reeled in. I didn't realize their teas were loose teas but she decided to purchase some anyway.
The girls went into several stores but I spent most of my time people watching, which was interesting to say the least.
We finished up our trip with a meal in the food court, which of course was crowded. I had white pizza with mushrooms. It wasn't too bad but I should have stuck to my usual, greek stromboli or Chinese food.
Driving home, it was already dark and it wasn't even 6:00. That in itself made me decide that I really need to focus on finding more things to do at home to bring in more money. I do not like driving in the dark and there were a ton of cars on the highway driving fast, stopping all super close behind me, again making me nervous.
Guess I should check my lottery ticket before work and if I won, I'm going back to bed. If not, I need to get busy.
