Mom wanted Ryan’s Buffet for brunch/lunch. I enjoyed it and was careful not to over indulge especially since I’m diet-less right now. The people at buffets certainly vary in shapes, sizes, etc. The ones that always stand out to me are the “pilers”. These are typically men that pile up so much food on their plate, it’s ridiculous. It’s as if they can only have one plate and are making the best of it. I like my foods to have a 1/2 inch space between them. Perhaps it’s wasted space but sometimes I just don’t think some foods taste good together. An observation about these “pilers” – perhaps they really loved baby food. All those veggies and meats blended together. Maybe it’s laziness? They don’t want get up too often. Whatever it may be, every buffet has ‘em.
After the buffet we went to the Concord Mills Mall yet again. This time to return some earrings that were falling apart after one day. While walking through the mall, I spotted Papayas, a women’s clothing store. I’d never shop here. 2 reasons. #1 – I don’t wear women’s clothing. #2 – this place was absolutely cluttered with signs.
Above: “Caution – Do not enter – stay off the platform. Do not touch any of the display items.” Other sign “Please do not sit on table.”
Above: “We reserve the right to search all bags entering and leaving this store. We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone.” and “please no food or drinks allowed.”
Above: “Attention: Parents please do not leave your child unattended.”
Mom shopped but meanwhile I was thinking this place sucks. I mean why not just post a list of rules outside the door? What kind of vibe does this place send? Negativity.

Mom bought a bunch of clothes the other day at Walmart. We needed to return what didn’t fit her. While there I picked up some deodorant. Here’s what I spotted:
Above/Below: $1.97 x 2 = $3.94
“Save” by getting the 2 pack for $4.33
I wonder how many people trust the packaging and assume it’s cheaper? Sad.
It’s kind of funny how I treat Ikea as an attraction. One of those, you gotta see this store type of things. Mom said she’s always wanted to go to one – I obliged. She bought an ice cube tray like this:
Meanwhile – later that evening, mom helps prepare dinner.

 A year ago, Ann returns back to Florida. We have a birth announcement. We met up with a friend who lives in Phoenix but oddly we met while in Seattle. Read about it here. |
Walmart better watch it, or they'll have another lawsuit on their hands!!
