Mission Statement: Leave no store un-shopped!
Objectives:
1) Create joy for ourselves and everyone around us.
2) Don’t lose Betty...
3) Eat well and often!
Tools: head gear & earrings by BJ, necklace by Dave, comfy shoes, shopping lists, sale ads, discount coupons, cell phones, husbands’ credit cards, cash.
Secret Weapon:
Betty, “on the whine” for a special deal!
Mottos:
Rules:
No men (except chauffeurs only)
No children (unless nursing)
Whatever BJ makes for headgear you wear PROUDLY without whimpering.
Pre-authorize MIA or be willing to pay the consequences. (This means you, Sarah and Jen!)
Bottom line – No humor, no go!
Obstacles:
Grumpy, bah-humbug people
So many stores, so few of us
Getting around people who obviously don’t realize we’re shopping, or hungry, or cold!
Shopping Health Food Groups:
Lattes, especially eggnog
Shrimp; lots and lots of shrimp
Cheesecake
Haggen daas
Margueritas, any flavor
Shrimp (remember our motto!)
Accomplishments:
Laughed a lot.
Only reminded once to be quieter in the bookstore (thanks to Danielle for bringing the obscene chicken).
Ate remarkably well
Drove safely
Maintained Christmas spirit
Spread good cheer everywhere we went
Indoctrinated a free spirit shopper
Evaluation: Mission successful.
Recommendations:
1) Learn how to operate Karen’s coffeepot, microwave, and car temp/air flow controls.
2) Meet Karen at Arlington and drive all the way to Portland on Thursday so we can eat a good meal, watch a movie, and sleep in the next morning.
4) Pay closer attention to room numbers before you make a fool of yourself. If you mess up, run like hell.
