Shopping, shopping, shopping!

It was, indeed, the weekend of shopping. LOVED IT!

Saturday I slept in but

Tri and I hit Rainbow Road and Obelisk before heading to LYC tea.

Daniel joined us later and he and Tri went to Fashion Valley, but the rest of us went and annoyed Vin while he was working at City Wok, then I stopped off at Mission Valley Mall. Not only did I get a few more things at the Michael's there, but I hit all the stores before they closed, including the B. Dalton that came to Gaylaxicon which was going out of business and everything was 40% off - yowza! Bought a few (er, ok, more than a few) books for myself, but it's ok 'cause they're books. :)

This morning I got up before noon, called

Michael and we met up at North County Fair, where I spent a whole lot more money but got quite a few things I needed (plus more books, but don't tell anyone). Then on the way home I stopped off at Best Buy and got even more stuff (at good prices, too). What a whirlwind!

Now I'm looking it all over, checking my list (twice), and realizing I still need to hit Wal*Mart after my hair appointment tomorrow (which means I'll miss SDQSF going to see Lemony Snicket, but I'm sure Q and I will see it together when I get out there). Then Tuesday LYC is having a last-minute shopping spree at Fashion Valley, so I can finish up there. Then first thing Wednesday morning I'm off to Maryland!

So much to do, so much to do...

Current Mood: festive

As 2 the ranting gryphon says "I love shopping. I am a faggot, Shopping makes Faggots happy!"
Considering this
Is there anytime of the year better for homos
(well except for those of us lucky enough to go to Pennsic and shop)

Not all of us enjoy shopping, however. Sometimes I think I'd rather have red hot pokers shoved under my toenails than spend an afternoon in a crowded shopping mall, surrounded by teenaged brats and little old ladies who are walking so slowly they're practically moving backwards. :(

Not all stores are like that and you don't have to stick yourself in a mall to do good shopping
Personally i like going to do Shopping in the neighborhoods of pittsburgh
That way i can throw children and old people in the streets to be hit by oncoming traffic
No one notices the bumps made by people under there tires in Pittsburg
to may potholes and bumps as it is!
I personally am not a mall person but street shopping or Fair shopping YEAH!

You don't do it right. You go to the little, out of the way places with unique, fabulous gifts and no tourists. You only hit the malls when you're desperate for someone like, say, your brother-in-law or the Pope.

you mean you are not from there!?
I figured you were born there as minor royalty (minor due to the fact that i doubt you are Chairman Kaga or Liberache )

Fashion Valley Mall is the more upscale mall in San Diego, not counting the hoity toity shopping in La Jolla. It's right across from Mission Valley Mall, which is a bit more middle class. I rather enjoy North County Fair where I went on Sunday just because it's one of only two indoor malls in San Diego, which is what I'm used to from the east coast (where there are only two outdoor malls).
