To Market to Market to buy a...

Farmers Markets! They are all over the city! They are full of fresh flowers, fresh produce, and people! Here are a few pics.
I spent my morning browsing and sampling! I bought these apples called "Honeycrisp" and apparently the Unviersity of Minneapolis came up with the apple by cross pollinating 2 kinds of apples! SOOO good!

MOA...that's Mall of America for all you tourists...

The Mall of America.

Where do I even start? This place is HUGE. It has 520 stores, 50 restaurants, 20 thousand parking spots, an aquarium, and a Nickelodeon theme park...complete with roller coasters!

It also has a Lego Imagination Center, which is basically a shop devoted to Legos and there are crazy elaborate lego displays... here are some Lego Dinosaurs!

Over all its a big mall and seems to always be crowded (I've gone a few times) It has some really cool shops and great deals, but you have to really look for the big sales.

Beautiful Sunsets

So when I moved here I never imagined I would see sunsets that compare to the ones I've seen in FL, but wow I was wrong! I was driving home from shopping out in the burbs and this is what I saw! So beautiful!







Here are 2 pictures from my balcony! I really love this city! Then again, it's still in the 80s...What can I say? I brought the warm weather with me!

Take a walk in my closed toe shoes...my mismatched size closed toe shoes that is...

So today before work I thought it would be a good idea to go buy some flat closed toe shoes. For 2 reasons. 1--I dont own any--2 my pants were too short for my hooker heels.
So I head over to Macy's and don't really see anything I like...and at this point I am starting to freak out, because I am wearing flip flops--and I have to be at work in like an hour...so I finally find a pair on the clearance rack--BCBG flats were $85--now $25...YAY a deal! Or so I thought.
So I put them both on...walk around the store...they feel great! I buy them--and rush off to work--leaving enough time for me to get lost--hey...at least I am honest.
I get to work, and I am in the parking lot scarfing down some Starbucks (for those of you who are curious: venti iced red eye with non-fat and 2 splenda) and throw my shoes on...I jump out of my car and I am headed into work...and the more and more I walk in these new shoes...the more and more my left foot is hurting (which is weird...cause my right foot usually hurts--because I broke it riding my beach cruiser drunk--and it healed wrong...) so I kinda stop to check out whats going on...and low and behold...the Left foot is a 7.5...
Mind you my right foot is an 8...so what do I do? Keep the bad shoes on...I am not about to pull out flip flops on day 2. I doubt that would win me any brownie points with the big bosses.
All in all, not a great start to day 2.
Day 3 is going to be spent with me having a conversation with the folks at Macy's. And hopefully buying some new comfortable closed toe shoes!
P.S. pics to come of the shoes...
