Today's life lesson

Memo to me:
Don't eat a full sized chocolate bar. My revised food plan has reduced refined sugar by a lot. 1 Kit Kat bar and one can see my impression of a hyperactive 7 year old.  As fun as that is, the bitchy part that comes with the crash after the fact- less fun.  On the plus side, it was sort of fun weirding out the young clerk at Borders at checkout. And the guy at the hardware store. Good thing apples and peanut butter tastes pretty damn good.

Also- avoid the new shopping plaza in Burlington with the LL Bean, Borders, Omaha Steaks, et al. At least on weekends. Unless you like zoos. The theory was that we'd go get me fuzzy slippers. Feeding frenzy. I've never seen such crowds in non-Christmas scenarios. Really, really.

So did you get the slippers or did the zoo get to you first?

[mizarchivist]

The thickest part of the crowd was clustered *around the slippers*- I figure they'll need a few days to restock at the very least. Le sigh. So: no slippers. Yet.

If you would like assistance making the trip some evening, let us know and we'd be happy to enable you.

Or something like that.

I would SO love to see you in your 7 year old chocolate induced state.

And you know, you CAN buy LLBEAN on line ;)

I want to make sure I get the right size, at least. And- instant gratification. Well, only instant if you can get within reach of the stupid slippers.
The jitters from the chocolate? Not so fun.

Ah, yes, jitters are bad.

Which is why I gave up the soda :P Although I gave it up earlier this year (After having many cherry cokes a day) and had a two-day migraine. But, then after lent, started drinking it again like an idjit. Stopped again, but I was only having maybe 1-2 a week as opposed to day. So, not so bad. And I'm sleeping better.

I thought you were looking kind of frazzled when I ran into you at LL Bean.

That sort of scene is to be avoided as much as possible. Hence the not stopping and talking more. Hope ya'll found something worth your trip!
