It was a shopping day yesterday. Beth was curious about Arundel Mills Mall, since I had talked and written so much about it. After a leisurely morning and a walk around the neighborhood, we headed to the mall. We were there by noon. I specifically wanted to get a new belt. I have a black leather belt that has a buckle that pinches instead of hooking in a hole. That makes it infinitely adjustable. I love it. It’s my second belt of the same model. I was hoping to get a third one and keep it in storage until I needed it. I had success!
Beth was looking for many things at once. She found all of them except for jeans. Congratulations, Beth!
After the mall, Beth needed to make another walk-through at IKEA. I dropped her off and went to Lowe’s because I’ve had some sky pencil holly fatalities. I was hoping to find replacements. No luck. I’ll have to check other Lowe’s locations.
The weirdest thing I saw all day, apart from a very large man with very saggy pants, was a shirt that boasted that it protected skin from the sun. The shirt even had a protection number. I was a little confused. Isn’t that what shirts are supposed to do? Cover you? It’s like a car bragging about being able to take you places.
I thought you pronounced it “uhpf”. I wonder what sort of UPF rating my big fluffy down coat has?
Or your big fluffy hair.
Ha! That’s hilarious! That could be a whole string of funnies – ‘Like a refrigerator bragging how it keeps things cold’.
I’m sorry about your holly fatalities. Please accept my condolences.
Like a stove bragging on how it can really cook things up.
HAHA!! Hey, did the inside of the shirt smell like Coppertone…beause then I would have bought it!! (ooph, or uhph, as the case may be….hehehe)
“An umbrella bragging about being waterproof”; “A bank boasting about offering spendable cash”
(sorry about the hollies…:( … how many passed on?)
I read the sentence with “holly” in it 3 times, thinking it said, “holy.” What in the world is a sky pencil holy fatality? And how do I avoid it?
Oh, and Beth? I’m super glad you’re having fun. But, um, could you please come home? I may be going a little crazy…well, crazier than usual.
Done. As requested.
Thanks.
So, thanks for the giggle in the middle of the library (cite “very big large with very saggy pants” above) – which illicited a temporarily-stern look from librarian……and I think that would have been “SPF” if it were protection from the SUN. So from what word starting with “U” would the pants protect one? Judging by the fabric pattern, I’d personally rule out “ugliness”. Other than that…your guess is as good as mine!
Isn’t AMM a great place to
kill a dayinvest your vacation, Beth? Glad you got to see it up close and personally!!
