Kara, Kasia, and I spent a lovely day at the mall over the weekend. It had been so long since we have been to the mall, just to walk around and window shop. I really was having a good time, but I think that Kara was embarrassed to be seen with me.
It all started when we were in Restoration Hardware. Now, I always loved Restoration Hardware because they always had those cool retro gadgets that looked like they came out of the '50's. Sadly, most of that is gone now, and what's left in its place was a bunch of stuff that was rather pricey. I was nearly floored when I saw a floor fan that they were trying to sell for $210. You've got to be kidding me! It looked like something my grandmother had stored away in her closet. I was checking this thing over to see if there was something special about it, like if it also doubled as a back massager, but no. It was just a fan. How can you charge $200 for a fan? That's when the embarrassment started. Kara told me to be quiet and not draw too much attention to ourselves. These people charge $200 for a stinkin' fan and I'M supposed to be embarrassed!? Please. You know something's wrong when your store makes The Pottery Barn seem like a bargain.
After Restoration Hardware, we went to the Coach store. I promised Kara that I wouldn't embarrass her. In fact, I told her that I would just say the exact opposite of everything that I was thinking. After being greeted by the very happy saleman (some would even say jolly.... or gay) I believe I used phrases like: "I'm so happy to be here." "Wow! $600 for a purse? What a bargain." "I can't believe the deals in this place." and "I'm going to buy two of these, at least."
I'm not really sure what happened after that. I couldn't find Kara for about an hour, and eventually we met up at the food court to have some dinner.
I love the mall.
