Alas, I have returned from the land of endlessly greasy food and fantastic bargains. I have to preface this by saying that “eating well” is next to impossible when I venture to the U.S. The food I consumed today is as follows:
1 Starbucks Grande Americano
3 IHOP classic pancakes (with butter and syrup)
1 Auntie Anne’s pretzel
1 bottle of water
1 Hot Dog On A Stick corndog
2 McDonald’s cheeseburgers
1 medium McDonald’s fries (only half eaten)
1 medium Pibb
I’m now working on glass of wine #1 for the evening.
Since the King always insists that I blog my adventures through photos, “here’s a little story I’ve got to tell about one bad blogger you know so well…” (7 high fives for whoever can tell me what song that comes from)





Today I had my Nordstrom Rack cherry popped, and it’s a good thing too. I found Christmas presents there for both my brother and his girlfriend. If you’re curious as to what Nordstrom Rack is, think of it as Winner’s plus better. Plus they carry Coach.
My favourite bargoon of the day? Finally, fantastically…my new UGGs.
They’re heaven for my feet.
My experiences in the States are always pleasant ones. They certainly seem to know a thing or two about customer service. Our IHOP waitress was a doll and the older man at Starbucks went out of his way to get Susan some real lemon for her ice tea.
And here’s a tip: New Order and Kanye West make for excellent road trip music. The Pixes do too, but avoid them when waiting in border line-ups. You’ll thank me for it later.

Paul Revere. I’m not entirely embarrassed that years ago I did in fact memorize the song.
I’d say that’s more than a glimpse…
Anyhow, I believe you’re quoting “Parents Just Don’t Understand” by the immortal DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince, pre-action hero megastardom.

Ah, right, crap, the Prince’s parents went away for a week’s vacation. Different anecdote entirely.
Bargains are always nice. I’m going to try & stop staring. :p
Pixies will make you crazy
Glad to hear your shopping trip went well. I have the same experiences in Vancouver which is why I do my shopping there. To each their own.lol And I still have that album (Beastie Boys), and listen to it on a fairly regular basis..it just doesn’t get old.
