I feel like I'm in some type of Sci-Fi futuristic movie being back in Dallas for an extended stay. "Brow-Bars" for those who want better eyebrows at Macys??? Really??
And I'm starting to sound like my mother. We excitedly went up to the box office to purchase our movie tickets and suddenly my $20 bill vanished. I heard these words leaving my mouth as I spoke through the little hole in the window to the 16 year-old cashier, "$20? Are you sure? It's only $5 for matinee in our neck-of-the-woods". Yes....I actually said this.
But I discovered something in our adventures yesterday. I realized this no longer felt like home to me. I used to LOVE the mall....now I couldn't wait to get out of the mall. A "Brow-Bar" would have excited me back in the day.....now I think its just bizarre that someone would be that attached to their eyebrows. And $20 for a matinee? I don't care if they do have leather-reclining-chairs-with-a-swivel-table. These things are wayyyyy on down the list of essential components of my life. I've changed......
I'd much prefer to see a beautiful sunrise that didn't include a high speed freeway in front of it. I much prefer seeing a quiet lake instead.

I’m with you, Liz, it’s wayyy better out here in the sticks.
Totally agree. We were in Mount VERNON today.
I know the feeling...I'm assuming my move to Houston is only temporary. You just can't take the country out of us 'hicks'. I don't do malls either :)
I must have been born a hick because I only remember a few times that I actually got excited about shopping at all. I am grateful to have internet and sisters who love to shop for me !
