Good grief, went out to get a few last minute gifts and let me tell you – the shoppers are out in force. Store racks and shelves are in a mess from people rummaging thru the merchandise. I was looking for a coat for my sister, so I joined all the guys wandering around the ladies departments trying to figure out how the sizes for women worked. If I could remember back to my retail days where I had managed some womens departments I would be fine, BUT… I’ve slept since then. I pulled the “phone a friend” thing and got the technical support I was needing and walked out with a gift in hand. Mission accomplished.

I also have a good experience to report from TomTom, the GPS people. My parents are here from overseas and are having to do a lot of traveling around. I loaned them my TomTom to use on their journeys. Thing is, the maps on there are 2 years old. I went to the TomTom site to buy updated maps and found what I needed. The map update was $79. I downloaded it then put it on my device. The next day I was on their website and saw they had put the map update on sale for $59. Craptacular. I made one call in to their tech support line and they hooked me up with a $20 credit back to my card. Great service from them.

Anyway, Megan and I have been getting our eat on this week. Tuesday night we had dinner at Bonefish Grill with our friends Brandon and Jaime. Thursday night was dinner with Beth and Jimmie at The Jazz Factory. Food all around was excellent. Friday night we ate at Red Robin before catching a movie at Monaco Pictures over at Bridgestreet. Whew! Party tonight with Megan’s church group. The fun just keeps on rolling!
