The traffic was so bad out on the streets that we didn't bother to go anyplace else other than the restaurant. You couldn't PAY me enough money to get me into a shopping mall or center today. I seem to have been born without a shopping gene of any sort. I also hate crowds. I won't venture back out into the retail market until January sometime. Unless I go late at night after the bulk of the people are home in bed. . . .

Me too, Birdgirl. I hate to shop, though I do enjoy it a bit more if it's for gift-giving instead of personal. I just don't enjoy the money I have to spend...lol. And the ONLY time I can deal with crowds is at a show or festival, cuz most of us are smoked up, anyway.
