There were three things I decided I needed to do today; browse the shelves of Barnes & Noble to find the ISBN for a Bible a customer requested, buy a digital camera for the trip and check out Chicos and JJill’s for clothes I need for the trip.
B&N is in what we call west Little Rock, a shopping/driving madhouse, so I headed out around 9:30 a.m. On Sunday morning there’s very little traffic anywhere but my particular desire was little traffic there. I got my wish, zoomed through the store to religion, found what I needed (there are too many Bibles) and drove on to Best Buy just down the road. It opens at 11 on Sundays, so I drove back to midtown where the new open air shopping center is that has Chicos and JJill. Nothing opens there until noon.
Back home I got online and bought a camera from Amazon. If I’m going to shop online my first choice is Amazon. Why? If you go here and scroll down to support Toasted Cheese and click on Amazon our writing community will make a penny or two from your purchase.
That purchase meant I no longer had to drive out west again today. At noon I drove the half-mile to Chicos and Whoopee it is Sale time. I bought everything I need for the various events in California for $148. All are wrinkle free Traveler clothes. So I now have; one black skirt, black slacks, and in the color they call asphalt (why asphalt I’ll never know, it’s a lovely blue that makes my eyes sparkle) a jacket, tank top and slacks. Oh and a multi-color blouse/jacket that goes with all.
I’m relieved. Major shopping headache is over.
