Today was a
good day...for the most part.
It almost made it above freezing in my bitter-ass cold hometown of Minnetonka. I stayed in all day and ate leftovers from Thanksgiving. Breakfast was cranberry sauce. Lunch, smoked turkey sandwiches with bacon.
I practiced tooting on my clarinet for a few hours with the hopes of one day impressing my girlfriend who is off with some friends from high school this weekend.
Without her around, I grew kind of cabin-ferverish around 6:00pm and went to the Mall of America with my parents to go do the American thing and shop the day after Thanksgiving to celebrate our high amount of disposable American income.
I bought a pair of expensive black shoes and threw the target brand I was wearing out at the mall. I went to J. Crew and almost got suckered into buying $16.50 underwear, but instead got taken on buying three sweaters for $150.00. All-in-all not a bad day...
...which for me is any day you don't have to worry about the car stalling in the middle of nowhere and dying from exposure to the cold.
