I am a brave woman. Yesterday I met my mom so we could go shopping for a cell phone for her. My mom is driving to Florida alone right before Christmas, so it was really important to get this now. Unfortunately, my mom who can run a office, avoids all technology when she is out of it. After convincing her she needs to get one for safety reasons, she decided after she got to the store, that she could borrow one from her boss. I asked her do you really want to be responsible for his phone? Well?, "no". She asked the store clerk more than one question like this one, "Where do you talk, where do you talk, I don't see a place to talk into."
I'm not really sure why my mom does this, but for some reason she calls me like I am a lost 5-year old in a store. More than one time I heard my name yelled across the store. AAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

During my outing yesterday I saw the local animal shelter had set up outside of a store, I went for a look, and saw some really cute dogs that were looking to be adopted, including a big fuzzy Collie. There were some people stopping to look at the dogs, but it was cold and windy, and you could tell most people that stopped had an agenda. Still, I'm glad they were out there promoting the shelter.
The day just seemed to get worse as it went on, and I was happy to get in a good tasting no-frills and inexpensive Chinese buffet.

I was planning(mistake) to go to a Christmas boat parade with a neighbor at a nearby lake, but it was raining, and we decided not to go. We later thought of driving around to look at lights in the nearby neighborhoods, but the rain just kept getting worse, and we decided it wouldn't be a good nite. It was a good nite for sitting on the futon with my 3 animals though.
