2tiredpuppies

That would be us.
The happy man camper has been teasing the happy woman camper for many weeks (months?) about her interesting (methinks he's being kind here) but loud night time noises she makes whilst sleeping. After seeing an advertisement (do these things ever really work) for a very special kind of pillow he suggested the purchase of such a miracle pillow might possibly be a wise investment. Especially if aforementioned miracle pillow allowed happy man camper to sleep sans the interesting noises emanating from happy woman camper. So off to the Mall of Georgia we went today in search of this wonderful, magnificent pillow.
Traveling with happy man camper is always a pleasure. Even on short trips. He chats, he sings (VERY well if I might say so), he holds happy woman camper's hand, not to mention that he is a most excellent chauffeur. Even short trips are always fun and interesting.
Ahh but my friends getting there is only half the fun. This wonderful man creature is also the most excellent mall companion. He loves to walk, shop, stop, explore, shop some more. He doesn't even mind that it is a necessity that I closely examine many pairs of shoes and every handbag in the mall. Can you believe he even encourages me to "go ahead get it/them..."? Is this man AMAZING or what? But oh this is not all. After suggesting we stop for a snack (simply Delicious ice cream) he casually asks, as we walk by the GODIVA Chocolates shop, "would you like a little Easter goodie...?" At this point I know I have surely died and gone to heaven. He is no doubt my reward for some amazing wonderful thing I did in one of my previous lives.
If you have never been to the Mall of Georgia then you have no idea what you've been missing. This mall is a sight to behold. There is every store imaginable there. Three floors of potentially endless shopping. So shop we did. The miracle pillow was found in a wondrous store called Brookstone. My oh my what one can find there. Said pillow was easy to find, as it was up front and largely displayed with a sign that boldly read "STOP SNORING" or some such embarrassing logo. I looked at happy man camper and ask, "Is this your way of saying I SNORE?" He smiled sweetly "Well yes sweetheart but coming from you it sounds so sweet, I just thought this might help you rest better." Now, you tell me is this man an angel or what? After much touching, squishing, and discussion, it was decided we would purchase the miracle pillow. I will tell you this much, that puppy better work, because at a cool $130 +tax, it REALLY is an INVESTMENT!
On the way home we stopped by Macy's at the Perimeter Mall to see if they still had a handbag I had admired/desired on a previous visit. Handbag was found and purchased. Only to discover when we got home that it has a faulty zipper, so it will be going back tomorrow.
After a day of shopping I was much too tired to make dinner so the good folks at O'Charley's we given the honor/pleasure of our company for dinner. Need I mention that sinfully delightful chocolate cake was desert? Speaking of which, I think I hear leftovers calling my name. Then I suppose it will be time to test out that miracle pillow. I'll let you know how it goes. The pillow thing that is. The rest I'll leave up to your imagination.

We're just south of Atlanta. About 20/25 miles from the downtown area that was hit. Yesterday's trip to MOG took us right through where the bad weather was suppose to be. Fortunately for us all we encountered was a bit of wind and rain.
Thanks ever so much for stoppping by.
Happy? INDEED!!

Wanda,

Thank you for your kind words on my last post. It is SO good to catch up with you again! For some reason I always felt close to you, reading your old blog and I often wondered what had happened to you.

It sounds like life took a good turn for both of us!

*Hugs* I'll be back!

James would probably say I need a couple of those pillows but I get the bed all to myself when I snore so I won't tell him about it.

Happy Tuesday!
