Shopping and baking

This weekend was pretty fun, for once, except for the 49ers losing yesterday. On Saturday, my mom and I went to Union Square to go shopping for ourselves, since most of our upcoming shopping will be for others. Surprisingly, we did not buy much. We both bought two bras at Victoria's Secret, which was a necessity, because neither of us have purchased bras for quite a while. My old bras are starting to fall apart and show their age, so I am glad to have some new ones to "perk" me up again. I also bought three shirts at Old Navy, but I think I am going to return one because it does not really look good on me after all. Mom had fun seeing the city, even though she said it looks a lot filthier than the last time she shopped there. I guess the street vendors and homeless people reminded her too much of Telegraph Avenue in Berkeley.

Sunday was pretty much a stay at home and get some stuff done day, as usual, except that G actually stayed home all day as well. I baked a whole bunch of cookies for the Thanksgiving potluck at work tomorrow, plus some for us and mom and my brother. They are a triple chocolate chip cookie with oatmeal and they turned out pretty good. The baking also helped warm up the apartment a little, although G ended up building a fire in the evening. We had mom over for a barbecue dinner, watched some television, and called it a night.

I guess I should have enjoyed the fire G built last night even more than I did, because tonight is a spare the air night and we are not allowed to burn anything. I guess I will just have to turn up the thermostat when I get home from work so we do not freeze tonight. Thank goodness our comforter is so warm!
