I went to the Mall of America yesterday with Nadine who thinks holiday shoppers should be a little more considerate. Even though it was a work day, the mall was still jam packed with holiday shoppers. Some of these shoppers are outwardly rude, so rude that they jump the line at the dressing room. I have not experience this sort of rudeness for the longest time. Darn, that really pisses me off. Anyways, Nadine too had some rude awakening while lurking at the jewelry stores. There was a pyshco guy came right behind her and knocked her on the back of her head with a shoe box and ran off. No doubt is just a shoe box, it still hurts. The store keepers from other retail franchises stepped out and tried to get this idiot. Tho he got away from us, but the mall security caught him.  Strangers stopped and helped us, asking if Nadine is hurt, does she need to go to the hospital.   We are so lucky, no one was hurt.  Nadine had a  shocked of her life, but after 30 minutes of calming our nerves down, we were back roaming the stores again.  I guess, nothing beats the thrill of retail therapy.

The holidays are around the corner and what with the bloody cold Minnesota, J, our neighbor, and his new wifey are heading out of the country on Monday. They are flying off to the Bahamas which is sort of their honeymoon, too. We had a chat with J yesterday updating us with of his work place which is one of the Big 3 auto makers, his travel plans and travel insurance they were advise to get especially when they have 2 little kids in the household.   I wonder when I can make my travel plans for a trip out of town or better still out of the country.
