Let’s be honest – I’m a bit drunk and it’s been a long day.  This will be quick 🙂

Oh man, what a Saturday!  Sorry to not post all day but it was pretty busy.  We got up at 9 and headed straight for the gym, the husband kind of never goes so I’m always up for a trip when he is.  My run was terrible again, what is the deal?!?  In the end, I did 3.5miles / 37minutes / 397calories.

I mentioned when we did our closet switch last week that neither Adam or I really has a winter wardrobe, well today was the day to rectify that.  I know some girls love to shop, and I do love clothes and bags, but shopping itself is pretty tedious to me.  My mom is the best shopper on earth and  I think my lack of mall-enthusiasm is her only real complaint about me! 🙂

We packed a bag of grapes to share but they ended up being inedible.

So we hit up the food court for lunch a few stores in.

I got steamed veggies and grilled bourbon chicken.

When I was growing up we didn’t have a mall, and when we visited the states I was obsessed with getting bourbon chicken at the mall!  Today I killed the veggies but split most of the chicken with the husband.

Shopping ended up going very well.  We were at the mall for HOURS, but we are 99% done!  The husband and I are officially both ready for winter.  Plus we found many things on sale (like the children’s snow boots I bought).  This is my “we are leaving the mall after 5 face” –

We rewarded ourselves for a day well shopped by driving to Anderson’s for ice-cream.

I got pumpkin soft-serve with peanut butter cups.  Mmmmn.

We had to rush, rush, rush as soon as we got home to get dressed in semi-formal clothing.  Our evening event was put on by a group at Adam’s medical school; Duwalli is India’s festival of lights.  There was an open bar so I got boxed white vinfindel x2.

I ate two samosas while we mingled.

And it a bit it was time for dinner.

The food was fantastic, all authentic, spicy, and delicious.  I have no idea what I ate, but it was mostly veggies with a little chicken.

And spiced rice pudding for dessert.

After dinner there was an Indian dance presentation.  I loved watching, the music was catchy and everyone’s saris were beautiful.  There was plain old dancing afterwards but we left with a friend to talk in a more quiet spot.  We ended up at Wine Thief, which was quite fun.

I had a great glass of riesling (this pushed me a bit over the edge).

We got home by 11 and I might have drunkenly eaten two small rolls while I blogged,

and now I’m going to tumble into bed!  See you in the morning!

Have you seen Mallrats?  If not, do!
