today i ....

bad dog


It was a busy day:

  • Bought Christmas cards - 150 blank photo mount cards from Blick.
    • It was like a Christmas miracle: I had two sales people helping me and after three attempts we were certain they were out of what I was looking for. Then the woman tried one last time, and sure enough there they were right in front of us. She actually did see them - I did - as she flipped through the stack.
    • Only in American could someone named Dick Blick have a chance at success.
  • Bought a Cuisinart at Crate & Barrel.
    • Mine is over a decade old and in a box in Chicago.
    • Made potato latkes. That's why I felt the need to buy the Cuisinart. Those were mighty expensive, but tasty latkes.
    • Thought about buying a box grater, but I could do so much more with a Cuisinart - like make cheesecake.
  • I also made snapper and fresh spinach.
  • I walked diagonally across Colorado Boulevard in Pasadena - the lights stop traffic in all directions so the pedestrians can dance in the street.
  • After dinner went back out to Target. Saw lots of couples making out in the aisles. Late night shopping at Target is always interesting, especially during the holidays.
    • Got a game called In a Pickle. It was on sale, and I couldn't resist.
    • Also got laundry detergent and dishwasher detergent and peppermint patties.
