I just hope I will be able to join in the fun as the grandma in your story does. :) I am going to skip the jumping out of the plane though, I have never been one for falling long distances. I never let Megan play in those mall playgrounds because of the germs either, I am glad I'm not the only one. Now I have passed that on to my daughter, she carries hand sanitizer in her purse at 13. The phone thing bothers me for a whole host of reasons...<br />Wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas!Michelle Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00851453933697842657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6346935990049787898.post-31100811297550694252014-12-07T19:51:14.416-05:002014-12-07T19:51:14.416-05:00Starbucks has 'consistency' as its main ob...Starbucks has 'consistency' as its main objective anymore - plates are a thing of the past. I used to walk the inner parameters of the mall every so many mornings with a friend. She bailed out on me, I joined the gym and haven't looked back - but I do miss seeing the array of people coming into the mall that early and love the elderly putting forth the effort to get/stay in shape. A body in motion .... <br />Agree about the cell phone usage and lack of courtesy - I like that the local post office has a sign that states if you are a cell phone they will proceed to the customer behind you. <br /><br />Hopefully will hear from you before Christmas - but in case; Merry Christmas and Happy New Years.

Usually I will make eye contact with the server and then we have our own private joke about the person who is being incredibly rude. People like that are so full of their own self importance. Ok, rant over :-) The Mall looked so inviting... maybe because it was empty, but I can't wait for them to be like that again instead of having to sharpen my elbows to protect my personal space. I do hope the Apple Store was kind to you and you enjoy playing with your new toys (and the charger)!

I think cell phones rank right up at #1 for being the rudest thing every invented! It's almost like people panic if their phone isn't up to their ear! Annoying for sure! Love you chronicles today.

I don't regret not working in retail either but I so loved borrowing books from the shop so I recommend titles it was a dream job.<br />We don't mall shop as such my town has nearly everything we need. Although Bath now has an Antro so a trip maybe in the new year.

Perhaps my daughter and I will go sometime during the season. We don't go to shop, just to people watch. Most people seem to be in a festive, happy mood despite long lines and rude people talking loudly on cell phones.Great post!

The mall is a great place to people watch for sure. I, too, am annoyed at people who stay on their phones while talking with waitstaff or anyone else, really, when their focus should be on whoever is helping them. It is very rude. Merry Christmas! I hope you and your family have great Holidays!overthefencephotoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07621166702847400087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6346935990049787898.post-69433233378539352542014-12-07T09:22:09.394-05:002014-12-07T09:22:09.394-05:00I know how you feel about avoiding those mall crow...I know how you feel about avoiding those mall crowds.

I am not a shopper but my curiosity peaked when I read Pottery Barn! I have not been to one of these stores for years. When our son lived in Iowa, there was one in some small town and I always enjoyed a walk through seeing all the unique things they offered. Love your rudeness when it comes to people on the phone LOL.....<br />Thanks for sharing and your pics are great!!Bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07706645752376386105noreply@blogger.com
