Nothing like sister love

I picked up sister at the airport, we had our usual Starbucks stop outside the first Macy's and were ready at 11:00 when it opened. Two more Macy's later, with a few Talbot's and a Chico's thrown in for good measure, we were tired and ready for home. A new discovery at Park Meadows Mall: a Lego store - seriously. If they had had one of those when the boys were smaller, I would be broke. What a cool store! They now have the cutest girl Lego sets, and I may just have to buy one for myself because they are so adorable.

Although I didn't buy much - all right, nothing but a $3 Lego thing, I did make an important discovery which I think will eliminate some frustration I've been having. Because of the bunions on my feet (where else would they be?), I have been having so much trouble finding shoes that are comfortable. When we were trying on Minnetonka shoes at Macy's, the 8 1/2 was too tight across the bunion area and the nines felt good but were too big elsewhere. An aha moment, I need to buy wide shoes, not regular width shoes. We will experiment tomorrow during our shopping.

I had a better night last night in terms of coughing, with two three-hour blocks of sleep, but as Jan said, one hour of sleep plus a three-hour block plus a three-hour block does not seven hours of sleep make. She is brilliant. Tonight, I'm hoping for more than a three-hour block, but I will be happy with just about anything that's more than an hour.
