We had a good time. We went to Joe's Crab Shack, then the mall. We love to look at jewelry. I never realized there were so many jewelry stores in the mall. We looked in every one. The sales people in them must be former car salesmen. They hound you until you leave. "Can I show you something? Need any help? Something particular you're looking for?"

I lost my silver omega bracelet either at the restaurant or the mall. Maybe Allan will get me another one for Christmas. He couldn't find it in his truck or house, and he hadn't gotten my gift yet. I'm going to get my last to gifts today, hopefully. I'm getting a couple we know a gift certificate to Longhorn. I don't think they have the money to eat somewhere like that very often. I also need to get a gag gift for the party with all my friends. Spencer's didn't have anything. We play that game where you draw numbers, and then can either take an opened gift from someone, or open a new one. The last person can take the last unopened gift, or take someone else's. Since it's gag gifts, it doesn't get too heated.

We play the same game at work. There, it CAN get ugly. I was pissed last year when someone took a box of chocolates from me. You just don't take chocolate from me. What was she thinking?
