Weekend so far...
Dec. 5th, 2009 08:47 pmI've been bad...I haven't done a lick of writing today. Been sidetracked by the Harry Potter films on ABC Family all afternoon.
But that's not all! We did SO. MUCH. SHOPPING. today...mostly all in one place, too. We found a shopping center down in Daly City that's pretty much a strip mall on steroids...there's an insane amount of storefronts all in this one rather smallish block and has a parking lot from hell to boot. We only went to three stores, though--World Market (for Christmassy stuff for the apartment, some stocking stuffers, and OMG THEY SELL FLUFF THERE. YAY!!!!), Trader Joe's (for all sorts of foodstuffs and wine), and the ginormous Safeway around the corner (for even more foodstuffs). More stuff bought than we should have, but at least we're well-stocked now.
I also love the fact that the drive to and from that shopping center is along the Great Highway. Very nice coastal drive. :)
By the time we got back it was lunchtime, so off to a new stop: Video Cafe on Geary. I can easily say I don't think I've ever had a very filling brunch (the "Three Amigos" omelette) at a 24-hour diner that also serves Thai food...and rents dvds. And has standees and posters from 80s and 90s movies as their decor. And we were served by this amusing older Chinese lady that had a very 80s getup. Sure, it's a dive, and the food is obviously in the tasty-yet-bad-for-you category, but by sheer dint of its oddness it was full of WIN nonetheless. :)
A short stop at the WalGreens up the way, the CoffeeBank (our local Wells Fargo/Starbucks--yes, in the same place) for holiday coffees, and some last minute produce pickup at the El Grande around the corner from us, and we were back home.
So yes, lots of shopping and walking today!
Depending on how the weather is tomorrow--rumor is that it may rain--we may either do something...or we may end up hanging out inside, watching football and staying dry. :)
