What's cooking BQ?

Just got back from shopping and returning my spoils from Boxing Day. What was I thinking to buy that crap!

It was like a time warp out there tonight! So crowded like it was Christmas Eve! There was even a Bellevue Police Office at Nordstrom Rack in full dress uniform looking for party shoes for New Years Eve. I was helping her find her size. Really bizarre! LOL!

Hi Phantom! Totally! This is probably one of the few years I actually set foot in stores (had family around to force me!) right before and right after Christmas. Phew, one does have to be mentally prepared. The 27th was insanity, and of course, we have something like half or more of the shoppers (I forget the stat from the paper) - rich Mexicans with their extended families, coming north - to add to the driving and crowd madness. Gulp!
