Along with every other reasonable person in the US, I HATE the whole daylight savings time thing. It's stupid and messes with my sleeping, which is always a big "no no". Yes, I know that this was the "good change" where I "gain" an hour, however, my dislike for the concept is too strong to actually enjoy my "extra" hour.
So in honor of my anti-DST stance (and the bad mood that comes with it), my mom and I skipped out on God today to go shopping in Charlevoix. First, we had lunch at a lakeside restaurant - I ordered a yummy Mandarin Macadamia salad (really good... except that red peppers and papaya really don't taste all that good together...) Then went through all the downtown shops. My big find of the day- an antique store/boutique that only sells European items. Nothing says "I hate DST" like some fine Irish linen! :) Ha. I ended up buying an embroidered journal (French) and my mom bought me an antique amethyst pendant for Christmas. I have no idea where I'll wear it, but it's gorgeous!!!!
Feeling just a twinge of buyer's remorse on the journal. I own about ten journals and I never write in any of them. I suppose I'm in love with the concept. Blank pages = endless opportunities. (But it's still really pretty!!!)
I'll have to go back there to pick up some presents for friends. I'll bet downtown is beautiful at Christmastime. And who doesn't need/want European Shea Butter?
Mmm. Now I'm sitting in front of Desmond with a great cup of coffee. (Did I ever mention that I decided to name him Desmond?) Guess I could get used to stupid ol' daylight savings.
