Shopping

It's a rainy day today, and I got depressed easily. I have been bugging Jack all morning about wanting to go shopping.

We went to have dim sum first. We only go to one place for dim sum - Hong Kong Flower Lounge in Millbrae. The Dim sum was delicious, and we were very happy about it.

We then went to walk the dogs at the bay. Getting muddy, wet and cold. The dogs were happy, so it's OK. We finished around 2:30 PM.

We still had plenty of time for the rest of the Sunday, so we went to Main Street, Half Moon Bay to go shopping. Luckily, it didn't rain at all when we got back to HMB, and the weather was pleasant.

I used to enjoy window shopping on Main Street alone. Though when I shop alone, everything seemed too expensive, and I wouldn't want to break the buck. As a result, at the end of the day, I usually remain unsatisfied and slightly sorry for the shop owners.

Today was different, I showed Jack my favorite boutique, though they didn't have anything new so I wasn't impressed. We actually picked up a few interesting things from other home stores: a pair of shiny stainless steel cheese knives, a set of spice filled coasters, and a decorative door stop with a golden retriever sculpture.

Was it true that people could tell a lot about you by looking at your shoes? While we walked into some stores, the shop keepers looked straight at our feet, and then measuring the rest of us: what we were carrying, how we were dressed, etc. Coming back from the beach, both Jack's and my shoes were muddy wet. So I felt somewhat uneasy.

After we got home, I continued to shop online. I picked up some blazers and shoes from nordstorm.com.

So $300 later, and transferring more fund into my checking account, I am a happy person.
