A Red Letter Day

I changed a tire for the first time today. Somehow my right rear got busted, and fix-a-flat didn't fix the flat. So I put on my donut... and I'm taking it in to Saturn tomorrow for an oil change/tune-up and a new tire.

Then I joined Chris for brunch at Cyprian's - which was really kind of eh. It was decent, run of the mill for a hotel, basically. But I could have made a better omlette myself, honestly; J's at the Winery is so much better, and costs the same. I kind of wish we'd gone to the Harlequin at the Beechwood Inn instead... ah well, next time.

We then went to Framingham for a day of shopping, since the weather was not conducive to apple picking. I introduced Chris to the wonderfulness of Harry and David chocolate covered fruit, and he hit me for giving him a new vice. :)

Natick Mall kicks Greendale and Solomon Pond Malls' collective asses.

Natick Mall

The Natick Mall is okay. But parking there is a pain in the ass. Plus, it takes an hour to get in and out of there if you just want to buy something quick.

NATICK MALL !!!! ie. framingham

Aside from being the mecca of all mecca's of the shopping world... they have the Warner brothers store, and the Disney store all within shouting distance... Traffic does suck there... but it's worth it for pretty much one stop shopping...

PSSSSTTT... you forgot Satan Kitty.... :O)

I think a good dollar store could kick Greendale mall's ass...

Damn, I need to go to the Natick Mall, since they have the closest Godiva Boutique and I have a coupon for free chocolate!

Does it have to be an actual Godiva store? There's Godiva stuff in the "Basket Case" at the Solomon Pond mall (on the Bertucci's side).

Yes, it has to be an actual Godiva store. I went to that place and they said they couldn't take my coupon.

Too bad you're not in Boston - there are like three there. Natick's the closest one to Worcester.

"Natick Mall kicks Greendale and Solomon Pond Malls' collective asses."

Wow, you JUST figured this out?! :)
Yay! I love that damn mall. Even if parking's kind of a bitch but then, parking at ALL malls sucks.
Yeah.
