This is what happens...

I had been pretty proud of myself this year being that I managed to finish MOST of my Christmas shopping. I was trying to avoid shopping at malls and outlets at all cost. I usually do all of my shopping online, however this time around was a tad more difficult. I had to shop for Mr.Andrade's gift and if it arrived via UPS/Fed Ex I'm sure he'd open it first! He gets home at 4. I on the other hand don't get home till after 7.

Shopping in the rain=good times!

I decided to get off of work early and go with Sonia to buy those last minute gifts. We decided our destination would be Old Town Pasadena. We figured it wouldn't be packed since it was cold and drizzling outside (heaven for me) and the stores are outdoors. You know what? We were right! It wasn't packed at all, however we didn't anticipate passing the parking lot 3 times (thank you Sonia for not listening to me OR your GPS system), trying to find parking, our feet hurting from wearing the wrong shoes for walking, eating crappy food at El Cholo (once upon a time it was good) AND taking 15 minutes to find where we parked. The parking attendant did us the favor of driving to our car and driving back to us to tell us where it was. Mind you he was driving around in a golf cart that could have easily accommodated both me and Sonia. 

Needless to say some good memorable times! Driving home was also a mission. I thank God I made it home in one piece. I think I threw up in my mouth a few times out of fear! I kid I kid, but it was scary! 

Next time I'll just have the gifts delivered to my momma's house!
