On the first Sunday of January, Phil & I met K at one of the suburbs for some after-Christmas shopping & meals together.
> insert a cute picture of Phil & Miss K that is somewhere lost on my computer… :tears:<
K had about a 30 minute drive and Phil & I drove just over 2 hours. It was bitter cold outside so JP stayed home with a sore throat.
Our first stop was Uno’s for pizza and their hot wings that we have fond memories of enjoying in decades past. The pizza… still yummy! The hot wings… not so. We’ll stick with Cimino’s in the next town over for now.
Next we shopped for a few hours in IKEA. Ahhhh…. bliss! The few times we’ve been there, I’ve not had a plan or room for new furniture so I usually come home with either not much or nothing. This time I had a plan. A down comforter & duvet cover for our bed.
I went.
I shopped.
I conquered.
I sleep so cozy now!!
🙂
K & I both got hanging shelves for holding our hand-washed dishes. She has that new cordless drill to install hers… I’ve not gotten mine unpacked yet…. Plus some other odds & ends that she & I really needed. 😉
Next we moved across the street to the mall. The mall. The last weekend before school & work resume. Full of teen-aged shoppers. Ugh! So we didn’t last long there after checking out some shops K wanted to see. We did find a way to spend some of her Christmas money in Macy’s … on new colorful sweaters! (she wears only white, gray, and/or black for work) Actually really good prices for what I was expecting in Macy’s.
We made a quick trip (relatively speaking midst the traffic that needed traffic cops just to get in & out of the mall parking lot!!!) across the way to another store on the hunt for WARM not frilly gloves and were successful! 🙂 She is so cute & cozy while out & about! 😉
We ended the day with soup at Panera’s (we are a Broccoli-Cheddar family!) and some time to just sit together before parting ways.
Such fun & easy to do! At least K & I want to do this again! 🙂 And so ends, our holiday fun for this Christmas….
and sew on... 
Next time I want to play!!!
Hey – did she try the flagship store yet?
