I wasn't sure how today would go. Some days ... you just never know what is going to happen.

First off was a doctor's appointment... and that ended up working out very well.

Then, my daughter and I decided to go to Coronado Mall. I haven't been there in years. I have been to the Barnes & Noble there... but have not been in the mall part. Boy was I surprised!

Almost all the stores are full... and there were quite a few people there considering it was a wednesday afternoon. So here is what we did....we stopped and had a Cinnabon *yum!.... we looked at all the cool gumball and game machines at the one entrance.....

We went to this super cool candy store called Senor Murphey's... and got the best candy from a wonderful Scottish woman who works there... (loved her accent.. and they had the best selection of candies!).... I got a massage from the folks at Panda Express chair massage (feckin wonderful)....

We stopped in at GameStop and got a couple ultra cool PS2 games on SALE.... and we stopped and picked up a couple delicious cupcakes from "Cup-O-Cakes by Chef Michaels" for later on... and we actually got to talk with Chef Michaels for a little while (she is very nice)....

We looked for shoes and I got these awesome Converse ones for only $15 at "Journey's".... and then we had lunch at a cool Japanese restaurant in the food court (*it was eel sushi with ginger and wasabi)...

We then went to Barnes & Noble and spent a leisurely afternoon looking at magazines and getting some books.... it was wonderful. ... And then.... right near the door... I saw the latest issue of the ALIBI newspaper... with MY photo on the Cover!!! Woot!

I am so excited I can hardly stand it!
