So...
I actually didn't end up leaving the house until around 3:00. After shutting down my computer this morning, I decided to vacuum the foyer since we've all been tracking in sand and dirt since we got snow on last Saturday. Well, then I decided to go ahead and vacuum the kitchen floor since it seemed in need of a cleaning too. Then I headed downstairs, and vacuumed the basement rugs - which I don't think had been vacuumed in a while.
-Oh, and for some strange reason, while I was vacuuming the "exhaust" smelled like "breakfast" - sausage, eggs, and pancakes. Oh, and maple syrup too! It was both strange and sort of pleasant at the same time. But, again, very strange.
Then I went ahead with my workout. How many more weeks till JEWISH THIGHS?

After cleaning up and having lunch, then I headed out. I spent most of the time at the mall, Tysons Corner. I walked end to end on both floors twice. I didn't go into that many store, but I bought a few things here, and a few things there. A bunch of stores still had lots of Christmas Clearance stuff.
The one thing I may go back for is the new whisk at Williams-Sonoma that has a built in thermometer. Perfect for making custards, ice cream bases, certain frostings, etc. I saw a blurb about it in this week's New York Times. A cool gadget.
After spending about four and a half hours at the mall - ?!?!?! I headed home by way of Whole Foods and Trader Joe's. *Poor Trader Joe's. They had a lot of empty shelf space. -And I noticed this at the other location I went to the other day too. It turns out one of their main East Coast distribution centers is in Boston. Snowed in Boston.
...And I'm gonna hit Post now before I get locked out...
