It's snowing! We've got snow!Mom and I went out this afternoon to have lunch at Panera (French Onion soup) and then to shop at Echelon Mall, which is falling apart quickly. It lost anchor store number 4, Sears, last year. Anchor store #2, JCPenney, is closing later this month. That's sad for me personally -- I worked there for almost 4 years thru college and although they had odd management practices I have many good memories of my coworkers and customers. Most of the ' name' stores inside are ...

So after eating 1/2 of the pizza and an army of gingerbread men, I was feeling quite blech. But tonight I dragged myself to the YMCA and walked/ran for 25 minutes on the treadmill. I promised myself that if I did that, I'd allow myself to go straight to bed. Unfortunately, now I feel like I could conquer the world. 'Till tomorrow, friends! ...
