tales from the last lenox expidetion

So all this happened before Christmas, but I am finally getting it together to do a post.
My mom and I take off one saturday for our favorite run in atlanta. Much to my surprise and delightment, while we are on the way to atlanta she mentions the my 3 favorie words, " i need a container." That means a trip to my OCD mecca and 3rd or 4th favorite store ever, the container superstore!! As we are roaming the store to make sure no container was left behind, I ran into an old friend....


Yes, yes, that is the chic-fil-a cow in the container store. After I squealed in delight, I used Karen's favorite quote and took a picture to blog about it. I'm sure that made the cow's day. We did get free milkshake cupons out of it. After that excitement and a couple of unnecessary purchases (not the needed container), we headed to the mall. The normal run, is Macy's, crate and barrel, panini's at the corner bakery and then the shoe store. If i remember correctly we did leave out the eyebrow threading this time, but that usually ends the day. So Crate and barrel went well- got some groovy Christmas decor, panini's were awesome as usual, but there was a little excitement in Macy's. I had good luck shopping- finding a dress for heather's wedding and Christmas party attire but there was also a mariah carey perfume "event going on" so we're walking around and there's a runway...and tables with snacks...kinda creeped me out. No mariah sightings, but as we were walking out, loaded down with packages- there was a bagpiper playing show tunes through macys....i went to get my camera, but I am not nearly as swift as historydiva and the sneaky bagpiper had already wandered away..so I couldn't catch him- I was so disappointed b/c that would have been a nice ending picture for the blog. Ahhh..it was a good day :)
