NOT! Tomorrow, we have plans to hit the hellhole that is known as The Maul. No, that is not a typo, I spell MALL as MAUL on purpose, because that is usually what happens when we go there. We get mauled by crowds of idiots.
We need to hit Sears, because Mike says he needs new underwear, that’s where he always gets it. I also could use new underwear, and socks, as well…I’ve been tossing out the holey ones a lot lately, and it’s time to replace them. I’m not a sock aficionado or anything, I just buy plain old men’s white tube socks.
And then I thought of other things we need from Sears. Shower curtain liners. For some reason, only Sears has shower curtain liners that are strong enough to withstand the abuse of cat claws. Still, eventually, they need to be replaced, and we’re out of replacements. So if we pick up a couple more tomorrow, that should take us through most of the year.
And cooktop cleaner. We have this stove, and it came with a sample of a cooktop cleaner. It worked really well, but now the sample size bottle is almost gone, and I want more; however they only sell it at Sears because it’s the Kenmore brand. So we’ll pick up a couple of bottles, once again, to take us through the year, and avoid further trips to the hellhole that is known as The Maul.
Mike was just figuring we’d go to the closest maul to us, the Square One Maul. I nixed this idea, because this particular maul doesn’t have a full-service restaurant within, one that serves beer. Sorry, but no beer, no maul. The maul is so horrible, I NEED beer after putting up with all of the crap there. Square One has an empty bar/restaurant space, but it’s not had a tenant in years. Only food option there is the food court, which is one of the inner circles of hell, as it is full of surly teenagers and screaming little kids. No thanks. I want my BEER!
I figure if we HAVE to go to a maul, it had better be worth my while. So we’re going to the Burlington Maul. Not only does it have restaurants that serve beer, but there is also a Sephora and a Bare Escentuals Boutique, things that Square One sorely lacks. I’ll be hitting the BE Boutique, for sure, as I need some stuph from there. Plus, it gives me something to do, while Mike takes forever just to pick out a package of underwear. Srsly.
I think we’ll eat at the Legal Sea Foods there, we haven’t been in a while. Nomnomnomnom…
I think that’s about it…we won’t be hitting any electronics stores, looking for a playstation 3 or anything. We can get better deals online for stuph like that, anyway.
I’d much rather be going to a ball game, a living history museum, or a beer festival, but none of that is going on now…okay, the living history museums are open, but it is COLD! So we do the boring, necessary crap when it’s cold and nothing else is going on…and wait for spring, when the FUN begins!
