Happy Labor Day

I hope you had a good day if you had to be at work. I drove my butt to Columbus with a load of books, literally a trunk full to Half price book store. But first I went to find the international market because I wanted to try the Nepalese restaurant everyone was raving about. I found it. It was closed. As was my next THREE choices for lunch. I ended up in a Korean place that was tasty but way over priced but by then I was too hungry to care. I got some leek dumplings, red bean buns in the shape of fish (there's a name for that but I can't remember it and I can't read Japanese) and some kappa with the seal of approval from the Japanese emperor.

From there I went to HPB. Honestly, unless I have something else I want to do in COlumbus, it's NOT worth taking my books there. Some 30+ books and they gave me 10$, not even the price of gas. I did find a book on ghost hunting for These Haunted HIlls and two manga because this HPB had the close outs on manga series.

I wanted desperately to go to trader joe's as I love them but never get to go so off I went. I was halfway there before I realized I hadn't put on the GPS. I remembered the way as if I had never left. Later Mom was pretty impressed as it's been NINETEEN years since I've left.

I bought out TJs (had to toss a tons of ancient frozen food when I got home, really why is there so much freezer burned chicken in there? I need to just toss everything out of there and start over). I'm SO excited to eat all my new food. The mango/sticky rice spring rolls are tasty BUT the spring roll wrappers are a bit too chewy.

I had a disturbing thing happen there. I was eyeing up the cold food section and a TJ associate came up to me and asked not if I needed help but rather 'are you all right, ma'am?' with a hugely concerned look on her face. As far as I knew I was fine but I want to know what she saw in my face.

I had planned to go to Jeni's ice cream for some blackberry/lavender but since I didn't eat lunch on time, I wasnt hungry (and I had cold storage stuffed with stuff) I decided to skip it. Used my 20% off coupon at Barnes & Nobles before heading to the casino for dinner and gambling.

Well not much gambling because of the cold food. Won 10$ and headed for home.

Nice day. Kanda's annoyed his dinner was late.
