Sounds Fairly Normative.

Weekend highlights fluttering back to me. After work drinks at Mexico with co-workers was casual to say the least. Everyone was gathered in Pacific Place to watch the nigthly garish spectacle of imitation snow, blinking lights and automated snow people. Food was passable, but the workplace gossip was delicious.

Holiday shopping with Compadre on Friday. The Jo Malone counter was a trip, the twit in Chanel was tragic, Ian must be closing because I can see no other explanation for racks and racks of Stussy, the phenomenon known as Anthropologie took my effing breath away. All the men's stuff in Barneys was marked down which was nice. The Burkman Bros. rack was as picked over as I thought it would be. All in all it's always nice to experience seasonal help. Sorta like watching a fish-out-of-water comedy while getting your errands done.

Couldn't get enought so I went back for more on Sunday. Pony picked me up and we parked in some contraption by the Market. The Market was a crush, but we got out, and had a nice lunch, perused some selections of tea, gawked at what some people find appropriate to wear. Missed out on a huge line extending outside of Nordstrom. Made it back in time to talk myself out of starting my holiday cards. Can't update Facebook, or even think about next week. It seems like it's more than 5 days away.
