So yesterday Jen and I decided to take the little one, aka “the kid” to the Pacific Mall. Neither of us had been in quite sometime. It was a fun trip, I always find that visiting the mall makes me want to spend money on obscenly small and glossy electronics. This trip they had some of the newest cell phones I had never even seen even with my online newsfeeds some of these great phones slipped under my radar.
we did the bubble tea thing had some waffles and looked at all the new stores that have popped up since the last time we were there.
fun.
this is pretty much keeping me going at work.
