Fun outing

susandennisIt was really hot out but the sun wasn't so I could stand it. I do not miss the heat of the South but I do miss their love of air conditioning. The bus I road to town in was not air conditioned and was crowded. Macy's must have been air conditioned but not much. But, I survived and it was fun.
I went to Macy's to find nice king sized pillow cases in a fun color (fun = other than white or beige). They had very few king sized pillow cases of any color. They had zero sales associates interested in helping me although one did inquire if I was finding what I wanted but when I said that I was not, he apparently had his answer and was satisfied.
I did finally find a great color - a bright purply blue. King sized. On sale. Marked down to $109. I'm guessing it comes with a naked cabana boy at that price but I did not want to carry anything that heavy home.
(Seriously. I remember when I was in my 20's and Macy's was a step (small) above Bloomingdales and where you went when you did not want to spend the big bucks at the fancy department stores. Holy crap.)
Then I went up two floors to forks. Their display was pitiful and their selection worse - that was in every day stuff so I went over to the silver department where they had stainless and it was in a little better shape and, actually, a sales clerk helped me! I learned a bit about what I wanted and got some names of acceptable patterns to try. Again too heavy to carry home so I was not tempted to buy.
Then on to the movies only I was an hour early BUT, Tuesdays turns out to be Senior day and the damn thing was only $6. So I sat myself down at Johnny Rocket's and had a cheese burger with fries and a shake and killed a perfectly wonderful hour watching the world go by.
And then to the movie. Which turned out to be delightful! I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Now back home. I had a couple of work items waiting and took care of them and now we are all caught up. Whew.
