Shopping Adventures and Sinus update

First off...... why the hell did I not go get a cortisone/steroid shot today? Oh yeah, I'm lazy... gotcha. I wasn't too bad today, slept some in the car on the way to Tulsa and nearly all of the way back. Poor mom, I wasn't much company in the car. Somewhere along the way, I obviously got a good whiff or two of eucalyptus (that I'm allergic to) and I had a migraine the entire way back and tried to sleep it off. By the time I got back to mom's it had let up significantly so she let me drive home. As long as I didn't stare at oncoming lights and didn't move my head and kept the radio down, I was ok. But obviously I'm safe at home and blogging, so all went well!

Ok, so shopping in Tulsa. It's early, not too many insane Christmas shoppers out yet! Just a highlights.

1. If you go to Mathis Brothers Furniture, make sure the sales person KNOWS you're just looking and don't intend to buy. Mom and I had a dude following us around 3/4 of the store making comments and being annoying before he got sidetracked by some woman and we escaped to the cafe to hide, LOL.

2. Santa has a smile that warms you up inside! We came out of JCPenney's and they had pictures with Santa set up. I glanced over to see if he had any children on his lap and I swear he was the best looking Santa I've ever seen. Not like good looking, but like the perfect face for a Santa. He gave me a wink and a little wave and I just giggled and had a smile from ear to ear. I'm still a kid at heart, always will be.

3. Camille's Cafe is really really good. Mom and I both had a California Chicken Wrap - DELICIOUS, and it was served with three color tortilla chips and some really really yummy salsa. The water tasted funny though, hehe.

4. Ross - Dress for Less, is the same as TJ Maxx, and even though we nearly turned around to leave because it wasn't what we thought it was, I wound up buying four things, hehe.

5. Jenn in a Hallmark store during the holidays is a B-A-D idea. I'll have to get a video of my snowman snow globe. He's unbelievably awesome! He has a little motor in his belly that turns on and off to stir up the glitter for you, you don't have to shake him! And he also changes colors among green, red and blue. Video will come soon...

6. Sometimes it's just not appropriate to take a picture of a woman's hair, but I reallllllllllllllllllly really wanted to! I don't remember what store we were in, but I nearly got caught staring at this elderly woman's hair. I don't even know how to describe it, but I know that mom would have beaten me if I'd taken a picture like I wanted to... I wish I knew how to express the amazement of her hairdo and hair color combination... I'm still just baffled by whatever in the world that woman did (and why she thought it was acceptable to go out in public like that).

7. We got free pillows, LOL. I'm looking at new bedroom furniture and with a larger bed comes a new mattress. Since we were in a mall, I stopped in the Select Comfort store where they sell the sleep number beds. I've slept on one of these in a hotel in Dallas, very very comfy. And since the guy obviously wasn't going to make a sale, he offered us free pillows instead in exchange for adding us to their mailing list. Whatever dude... But strangely, the pillow came in handy on the way home when I was sleeping off that headache. Strange how things work out like that!

Must sleep now, good night
