This was a nice weekend. Friday night I came home from work and went to the mall. I hadn't been clothes shopping all summer so I thought I deserved a few items lol. My main goal was shoe shopping because everyone knows I have a slight shoe fetish...I think I got it from my mom :-) You can never have enough shoes. The black heels with the buckle are different from the black heels with the strap which are both different from the black heels with the peek-toe. As you can see, each shoe would be worn at a different time and with different outfits...therefore you need multiple shoes to satisfy the wardrobe/event demand. I can rationalize anything, right Daddy :-) So I ended up not buying any shoes because I walked into the first store I saw and discovered they were having an annual sale with prices in the Marshall's/TJ Maxx range. Yeah, I had a field day. Hour and a half later...I walked out with some good steals and I was very happy!! Unfortunately, none of the shoes they had were in my size so I couldn't buy any and all the other stores were closing by the time I left that store. For whatever reason, the mall closes at 8p here instead of 9 or 10...and on a Friday! Friday night we were supposed to go out to celebrate my FSU and UNC friends' last day in Panama but I guess they were tired or busy because they never called.
Saturday Yolanda and I met her 2nd cousin who took us to a jewelry store where Yolanda bought some nice items for her family. Perhaps I have't acquired the taste for that yet so I was not desirous of making such a large expenditure. After that stop we went souvenir shopping in a large outdoor strip mall. We were able to finish off nearly 95% of our souvenir shopping so that was wonderful. The next stop was this large building called CasaCor (http://www.worldeventsguide.com/event.ehtml?o=2556). CasaCor is hard to describe. It used to be a large hospital and different designers/architects were brought in to redecorate each room (different designer per room) with their own style and flavor. The purpose I guess is to showcase their work for future clients. It was a nice thing to walk through and get different ideas for your room and to see the artist's work. However, it wasn't worth the $10 I paid. The silly lady wouldn't give me the student discount of $5 because I didn't have my ID and she wouldn't let Yolanda buy two tickets using her student ID. WHATEVER!!! That evening we went to a dinner show about the history of Panama. It was alright....just alright. Nothing to write home about! Oh, we went to the dinner show with Kara, another person we've met down here who is a teacher in NYC.
Sunday was very relaxing and uneventful. I woke up and went to church. Then I walked to the grocery store to buy a few items. Upon my arrival back home Yolanda wanted to go somewhere for lunch but when we got to the cafe we learned it wasn't open on Sundays. Good part of the trip though I was able to find a shoe repair store so I'm going to try to go there tonight (tuesday) to see about fixing the heel on my shoe. I wanted to go swimming in our pool but the door was locked so I couldn't get in. Instead I washed my hair and then spent the rest of the day working on my website. I learned how to create a photo gallery so I was very happy and proud of myself.
Monday started my 2nd last week in Panama!! I woke u and did my normal morning run, although I strugglde on the way back because my mind starting to overtake my body. Work went smoothly. After work I accompanied Yolanda to get some ice cream in Casco Viejo. Then I cooked some spaghetti...turned out wonderfully! However, how do I make the sauce less watery??? Any suggestions? I spent the rest of the evening finishing the photo gallery and uploading it to the main site.
