Mall Rats

We slept in and spent the morning just hanging out, since Mrs. Miller had to borrow Lauren's car for a doctor's appointment. We were mostly hangin' out online. We didn't get going until around noon. Today was our mall day. We first checked out a shopping center near the bank where Lauren works. We stopped at a large KB Toys and checked that out first. It was the first free-standing KB Toys I'd ever seen. (And a drive through Pittsfield revealed why. It would seem KB's main headquarters is in downtown Pittsfield.) Lauren found four Fraggle Rock dolls. I walked out with two modern-style Care Bears, Harmony Bear and the new Heartsong Bear. There was a nice little Hallmark in the same shopping center. I picked up the WebKinz Bullfrog; Lauren got an adorable floppy panda.

We went to Lauren's favorite Subway for lunch (we both had Chicken Breast), then headed to an allergy doctor for Lauren's quick appointment. (He had a very nice waiting room with lots of reading material and very hard chairs.)

We spent the rest of the afternoon at the Berkshire Mall. The Berkshire Mall sits on a moutain, overlooking Mount Greylock. The Deptford Mall and Hamilton Mall can't claim views like that. We mostly walked around. I picked up The Classic Caballeros Collection from Best Buy (I've been wanting that - I love The Three Caballeros), the Cocoa Dinosaur, The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, and the 4th Pink Panther cartoon collection from FYE, and finally found the Doc Hudson Cars car at Target. Lauren got a wrestling DVD, Evan Allmighty, and her own Cocoa Dinosaur from FYE, plastic hangers from Target, and two Garfield movies, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Volume 6, the 1999 Get Smart series from Best Buy.

Mrs. Miller had tilapia, swiss chard, and salad ready for us when we got home, which we ate while watching Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune together. Tomorrow, Downtown Pittsfield.
