1-4-10

I was partially awake, but I got out of bed around 11:45AM..I don't even remember now. I jumped straight into the shower, as Jimmy was on his way home with the sandwiches and we were going to City Hall today.

12:05PM
Mburg: 41, feels like 38. Sunny. 5mph winds.
Philly: 31, feels like 20. Mostly Cloudy. 15-20mph winds.

I got out around 12:15PM, and I ate my sandwich, which was basically a hoagie roll with a sausage omelet inside. Lots of cheese! It wasn't bad at all. I was just looking at my books for next semester. English book used @ $10 and I can't find my math book anywhere online, and the school wants $200 for it. Yikes!

We're getting ready to leave soon, as it is 12:38PM.
Just about out the door, and it's 1:07PM. MAN I want a new camera. Jamie is very lucky she's getting a nice camera!

Didn't go to City Hall. We're saving it for an even clearer day. We arrived at Macy's by City Hall at 1:43PM. We went to the third story to look for Christmas ornaments, but didn't find what they wanted. So, we looked around at some clothes real quick. I looked at the scarfs, wallets, gloves, bags, jackets, etc. Gloves @ $65. At least in FL, all you need is a bathingsuit. Jackets around here are $100+. A decent one is $165. Calvin Klein (or however it is spelled) is $500. NOO thank you. We left at 2:07PM

We stopped at Nuts To You at 2:13. It's basically a variety of nuts store, all sold in bags of 1 pound. In the back is some candy. It's not a typical candy store though, it was more unique stuff. I wanted to buy the granola bag to use as a cereal, but decided against it. They got some assorted nut thing and some other stuff. We left that at 2:22PM. We drove around a bit and I got to see Trinity's school [which was several blocks big] and Drexil University, and some pretty neat buildings, like the hospital. I also got a picture of the scene from The Happening, as well as the park from the movie.

We drove over to EMS (Eastern Mountain Sports) at 2:48PM and looked around for a while at some hiking stuff. I thought it was a unique store, although pricey. They had soap paper that was basically like the listerine papers that you stick on your tongue. There were some neat hiking shoes, bags, jackets, socks..you name it. Jimmy loves that store, but he has a more favorite one; I just wanted to check it out. The jacket I've been wearing is from EMS and I really like it. But it's ~$80. We left there at 3:10PM.

We walked over to Naked Chocolate Cafe, instead of getting Bubble Tea. I got the Chocolate Chip Truffle Tea. It was absolutely disgusting. We left at 3:24PM and got back in the car at 3:29PM. He drove me back by there so I could run in and put sugar in it. Didn't help, I was feeling sick anyway, I had a headache.

We arrived at South St. at 3:50PM. At first I didn't see what was so great, but this was probably because we were just in Times Square last night. However, after a while, I could understand how it was a pretty "hip" place, especially considering the history behind it. There were several shops up and down the street, so I can understand how it is a hip place to shop and hang out. We walked around a little bit, but didn't see too much that was interesting. We got out of the car when we arrived at 4PM, well, 4:04PM to be exact, since we had to park and whatever else we did. Oh yeah, Jimmy talked to his boss on the phone and we had to be quiet :p. We stopped at Beyond the Wall: Posters and More for your Decor at 4:07PM. It was a small store with lots of posters and a few novelty items, like the quad capturing camera, the dual camera, some prank receipts, etc. There were some obnoxious girls that were talking about smoking the whole time, with extremely weird hair. I don't know if they worked there or not. We left at 4:11.

We stopped at CE or CEX entertainment at 4:23PM to look at the iPod touch. It's basically a used electronics store. It didn't look too bad, but I don't trust used electronics. They had cameras and video games and the such. We left at 4:25PM. We left South St. around 4:30PM. We arrived at Lazaro's Pizzeria & Grill at 4:38/4:40PM. Jimmy and I got the Buffalo Chicken pizza slice and I got a root beer. The actual place to sit down was next door. It was pretty good pizza, but I was pretty sick (headache) and probably dehydrated from yesterday. We left there at 5:02PM. We headed to Super Fresh (a grocery store) at 5:09PM. Basically, you pull up in a parking garage, and then we grabbed a cart, went on the elevator, and when it opened, you're in the front of a grocery store. It was pretty neat, but I didn't have my camera, I didn't think it'd be special. We shopped around for some groceries and left at 5:45PM. We got home at 6PM to drop off the groceries and junk.

We left the house at 6:15PM to go to Ross. We got there at 6:44PM. I had fallen asleep until we arrived. It didn't take long, as we left for target at 6:46PM. Trinity had to return a camera bag or something, so I went to electronics to look at cameras the entire time. Don't get me started! I read a little pamphlet thing on the features of a digital camera, to help people know what to look for. Then I found Jimmy and Trinity looking at a printer. We left target at 7:07PM and arrived at Macy's at 7:15PM. They looked for ornaments, but still couldn't find what they were looking for. We walked through the mall at 7:24PM and Jimmy and I split and went to another department store, looked around at some stuff. I looked at As Seen On TV stuff, then we saw furniture that looked like my Mom's new couches. Right next to it was furniture that looked like our other furniture in the den! It was kind of weird to see that happen, after my parents couldn't find decent furniture for a while. We stopped at the Jewelry store that Trinity was at (she was getting earrings fixed) and then at a Hallmark afterward, then the time was about 7:43PM.

We walked a bit further and Trinity and I stopped in H&M at 7:47PM, a pretty decent place according to Trinity. I really liked the clothing, only problem was, that specific store was all girls/kids. The one in Philly was bigger and had men's clothes. *Sad face*. We went downstairs to a Foot Locker for Jimmy to look at New Balance's or whatever around 7:56PM. He couldn't find any. By this point, my feet were killing me and I was overdressed, very hot. We headed over to Champs at 7:59PM. No luck. We went to an AT&T store at 8:02PM because Jimmy wants a new phone. iPhone or iPod touch, for his work. We went next door to Borders Express at 8:04PM. I saw a David Sedaris book I wanted but I didn't want to pay almost $20 for it. I just want something to read on the flight home. I ended up buying 3 Digital Photography books @ $4.99, $4.99, $3.99. Not too bad. It's better to get it now than later when I want one and it's $20. I became a member, FOR FREE! :) We left there at 8:16PM. We headed through Macy's to the car and waited for it to warm up, as when we got outside, IT WAS SNOWING! Only a little, but it counts! Woot SNOW FLURRIES! We left at 8:20PM.

We arrived home and I was inside these comfy doors at 8:49PM. Up until now, 9:20PM, I've been posting this. Jimmy and Trinity are making dinner, which is pasta and chicken. Woooo.

9:05PM
Philly: 28, feels like 20. 10-19mph winds. Cloudy. (The sky is well-light because of the lights of the city. I just kind of realized that tonight, as we walked inside)
Mburg: 35, feels like 35. 4mph winds. Clear.
NYC: 22, feels like 9. 14mph winds. Fair.

Been hanging around on the lappy watching that Secret Life of American Teenager show and Make it or Break it. We ate, and it was delicious. Jimmy has been researching the skii resorts and all of their prices. It's 12:42AM.

Nice talk. Bed @ 3:12AM.
