so yesterday, i decided to take a break from studying and go run some errands. i had to go to borders (ahem, esther, you owe me one...just kidding...) (...esther, seriously, just kidding), and macy's to return some stuff. since i had credit at macy's, i decided to get some wedding shopping (one wedding in march, one in april) done. it was also good timing, 'cuz they were having a sale on all the items i got, and on one of the items, it was a closeout for that specific line of bakeware (50%, baby! on-line, it's regular price - let that be a lesson to those who buy registry gifts on-line). for me, it was a matter of saving on shipping, and since both of the couples are here in socal, i figured it wouldn't be too big of a deal. the sale was an extra bonus, and i just used my credit, which made it all seem so cheap.
anyways, so i buy this 12-pc bakeware set for an amazing price, but um, you guys need to see the size of the box. and i was planning on studying at borders afterward, so i parked there instead of the bev center. so i had to lug that big ol' box of bakeware plus the other gift over from the 3rd floor of macy's at the opposite side of beverly center all the way to borders. i felt pretty stupid...and this guy i was walking across the street with made this comment, like, "you should have a cart." i laughed and said yeah, i was looking at people with baby strollers and was tempted to steal, um, borrow them. then he proceeded to walk across the street and an additional block with me, without another word or glance. not that i would normally expect a strange guy to help me out, but at that point, i was so desperate that i almost wished that he would...but he didn't.
so yeah, my arms are sore today...
