but what about the children????

I am not typically a mall shopper but have found myself in at least 4 different malls in 4 different states over the past 6 months or so and am intrigued by the Abercrombie phenomena..You know the one where you walk within a 100 yards or so and are overwhelmed with the smell of some perfume and I am not even going to mention the blaring music because the olfactory overload usually leaves me stunned and confused and I am not even walking into the store! The smell was burned into my nose to the extent that I could smell it in my car on the way home. It can't be good for the employees or customers..they are going to wind up with some weird lung disease years down the road they could call it what pink lung?

going to the mall was a better idea in theory

but after waiting that long to get off the interstate, and getting into the parking lot and finding a parking space there was no way in hell I wasn't going to go in and shop some! Tax free is tax free and most stores were having some great sales to sucker entice the shoppers in myself included.
My afternoon jaunt was fraught with rookie mistakes there are several approaches I could have made to the mall that would have been easier than the interstate....come on what was I thinking?! and parking again I knew the best location I don't know why I tried closer or why I didn't go as planned first thing this morning?! But I did discover Auntie Anne's Pretzels yummm super delish why have I not had these before? oh yeah I hate going to the mall that may have something to do with it.
