I went shopping a few weeks ago with my mom and sisters at Gilroy. My sis bought a pair of boots from Aldo.. and after telling them our usual spiel “No thanks, we don’t need a bag,” the sales associate actually responded “Oh! We don’t give out bags anymore!” She then continued to explain that Aldo recently changed their ways! Instead of offering a plastic shopping bag, Aldo inserts a piece of string through the shoebox; they also place 3 pieces of tape across the opening of the box to seal it shut, and voila! A makeshift shopping bag is created!
I love the ingenuity! I noticed that Charlotte Russe also started doing this! I hope this is a rising trend =)
Today was fun! My sisters planned an outdoor ice skating day in SF! Too bad that since it was a Friday night, it was hella freaking packed… hm let’s start at the beginning…
I woke up at 12:30 today, only because I slept at almost 6am last night! Damnit, and I really thought I was starting to get on a normal sleeping schedule from the cabin trip. I slept pretty early and woke up early to maximize energy and time for snowboarding! =) But yeah, woke up kinda late today >.< Kent came over and I took him to Manor Grill. MMmmmm I had their Colorado omelette, and it was YUMMY and hella filling. Then we went to Borders in Alameda to pick up the second Percy Jackson book. I need to start the first one tonight hopefully. I tried the Strawberry Whirl for the first time at Jamba Juice… it was alright, but I don’t think that Jamba is very good =(
Dude, there was SOO much traffic driving to SF on the bay bridge. Good thing we were carpool! I’ve never seen so many cars there… we just zoomed right by them =D Ended up not ice skating because the line was way too long and the tiny ice rink was packed with people. The only good thing about that is I probably wouldn’t have room to fall =P I don’t know what’s wrong with me, but I was hungry again so Sam, Jeff, Kent, and I found a random Thai restaurant to eat at while Tracy and Vang and their friends walked around. The pad see-ew was really good and flavorful :D
I ate sooo much yesterday for Uncle Howard’s bday lunch and today, I don’t know how it’s all holding in my stomach still….
