Oh to quote Annie....

My mothership is calling and I don't really mean that in a ufo way....although that would be cool. Tomorrow Mom and I head off into the "big city" of Eugene for some shopping and lunch. I am itching to visit Bed, Bath and Beyond. The last time I was in a store of that nature I was in Vegas. I am also close to desperate to get into a Borders. I spent five years working for Borders and oh MAN, I miss it. Whenever I go into the one in Eugene (although that is not the one I worked for) I feel a little bit like I'm going home. It's all so familiar. Perhaps I will come home with a bedspread or quilt for the new bed. Maybe I will find some pants that fit (fat chance) or some shirts that will be good enough to wear to work. Maybe I'll find some shoes. Who knows? Maybe I'll actually take more than four steps inside Old Navy. Who am I kidding? I am coming home with books and tunes. Doing otherwise would upset the balance of the universe, and really, who wants to be responsible for that?
