Shopping in Natick Collection (finally!)

Finally, the day I have been waiting for has finally come! I got to spend my whole afternoon at the mall, Natick Collection. I have been to Natick Collection many times, but every time I go there, I never have much time. But finally, I got 3 whole hours in the mall!

But first, Granddaddy wanted to show mommy, daddy and I a store called Home Depot. Home Depot is a place with lots of supplies for if you are either renovating your house or moving into a new house. We spent lots of time in Home Depot, since it is a humongous store. About 1 hour gone from shopping.

Once we were out of Home Depot, Granddaddy took us to a shoe store that he goes to. Daddy and Granddaddy both got a pair of shoes each, but since there were no shoes for kids, I didn't shop for my own shoes. We spent some time in the shoe store as well. About 40 minutes gone from shopping.

Finally, the moment I had been waiting for had arrived... Granddaddy and daddy dropped mommy and I off in front of Natick Collection, and the two of them drove back home. But first, although I wanted to start shopping immediately, I had to eat. I was starving. So mommy got a cheeseburger at McDonald's for me.

When I finished the delicious cheeseburger, we went over to the store Claire's again, since Claire's was right now to McDonald's. I'm going to get my ears pierced for my 10th birthday, so at Claire's, I bought several nice earrings. The reason why I bought earrings before I got my ears pierced is because in Claire's, the earrings are very good. And in Hong Kong, there is no shop called Claire's. So I bought some things at Claire's today:

~Circle-shaped black and red checkered earrings

~Circle-shaped earrings with a hot pink background with a black star on top

~Circle-shaped earrings with a blue background with white small polka-dots on top

~Circle-shaped earrings with rainbow colored stripes

~Circle-shaped black and white checkered earrings

~Circle-shaped earrings that are purple colored

~Panda earrings -- their [4] paws are silver

~Pink stud earrings

~Peace sign earrings that are pink and white

~Dangling earrings that is a monkey holding a peace symbol in one hand, and forming the peace

sign in another hand

~Lip Smackers lip gloss that is Skittle flavored

~A black hairband

~A bracelet with a black string holding a silver peace sign

That's all the things I got from Claire's today!! Now my legs are so sore because I walked around the around the Claire's store at least 30 times!! And the store is huge!

After spending lots of time in Claire's, mommy and I went over to a store that sells watches called Time Square. I had a very, very old Baby-G digital watch, and the color was fading as well. So I got a new Baby-G watch at Time Square. The watch is light pink and it is a kinetic watch and a digital watch! It's a very cool watch :)

Then we had to go meet daddy because he was picking us up from the mall so he could drive us back home. We met him at the store Nordstrom, because Nordstrom is the first store you see when you enter the mall. I saw a pair of shoes in Nordstrom that I really liked, but unfortunately, the store just doesn't have my size! Apparently, my foot is toooo long!

I just set the table for tonight's dinner. Granddaddy just taught me how to set a table. I didn't exactly know how to set a table properly, because back in Hong Kong, we are very casual and we don't really set the table. But now I can set the table! I also learnt how to set the utensils on the table. Granddaddy told me that the knife's blade has to be facing inwards, never outwards. I never knew that!

Gotta go eat dinner now!

Barbecue and Wellesley

I just came back from a wonderful barbecue with Wesley, Aunt Cindy and Uncle Jon. Wesley really is a great cook! He cooked all our hamburgers and hot dogs for us! But unfortunately I couldn't have a hot dog because their golden retriever, Amber, stole my hot dog off the grill, ha ha! Luckily I got to try a hamburger!

Before the barbecue at Aunt Cindy's house, mommy, daddy and I went to the small town called Wellesley. We
ate a late lunch at a small Vietnamese cafe. After the great lunch, we went to a sports store called Marathon Sports that was right next to the Vietnamese cafe. I needed new running shoes for school because my old running shoes are worn out and are starting to rip. So I got new, comfortable running shoes at Marathon Sports. The people who work at Marathon Sports are very nice, and they help you pick out sneakers that would best suit the way you walk. They are really good, because the sneakers they picked for me are perfect! But in Hong Kong, in all the sports stores with running shoes, the people who work there don't really help you or anything. Mommy also bought running shoes.

After buying two pairs of running shoes, we went to Roche Brothers, the supermarket, to buy some food. At the pharmacy store that was right next to Roche Brothers, mommy allowed me to get artificial nails for me! They are pink and black =)

So now I'm gonna go to bed now... hopefully tomorrow we can go shopping... again! But I don't want to spend my afternoon in a mall if it's a sunny day. Depends on the weather tomorrow, I guess!!

Julie & Julia

Today I went to watch the movie Julie and Julia. I wasn't expecting much from it, since it was mainly about cooking. So I wasn't as excited as when I'm about to watch 'Ice Age 3' or 'Up'. But when I stepped out of the theater, I felt exactly how I would usually feel when I step out of the theater after watching 'Ice Age 3'! The movie was great; very funny and the story was very cool, being based on 2 real life stories. It was about a girl called Julie Powell who loved cooking, and loved the famous chef, Julia Child. She started a project that was 365 days, 524 recipes. Julie Powell blogged about cooking and going through one of Julia Child's recipes. Soon, lots of people started following her and she soon became very famous and wrote a book.

After watching the movie, I went to the mall, Natick Collection, since the theater was really close to Natick Collection. But I didn't have much time to look around because I had to go home soon for dinner. So I just went to the shop Claire's and bought a cute choker necklace (with different colored small beads). I'm probably gonna go back there again because I'm going to get my ears pierced for my 10th birthday, so I'm going to buy earrings at Claire's. It's very surprising, because usually, whenever I go to a mall, I always buy clothes or at least shoes. But this time I only bought a choker necklace!! But I bet I will always buy at least something when I enter a mall... it's just quite impossible for me to never buy something when I'm in a mall! Especially when I'm in Natick Collection!!!

So now I'm just sitting in front of the computer, with nothing to do... I'm really hungry but we're probably not going to have dinner until about 7:00 PM the earliest! Well, I gotta go now... gonna go eat a yogurt! The hunger in my stomach can't wait =)
