It was a cold rainy day and Jude NEEDED to get out of the house. It had rained for a week straight and we were all getting a bout of cabin fever. So we braved the crazy holiday traffic and went to the mall. We figured it would be a good place for Jude to run around in while still being inside but not actually being insde a store. At one end of the store they have a neat little kiddie ride place. They had a firetruck and a spaceship, full of wheels, levers, and buttons to press. It was kinda expensive at 50 cents for a minute but luckily for us Jude didn't want the machines to move. He would be playing happily but once we would start the ride he wanted off. Silly boy. So we just had fun for free and played on all the cool toys.After the rides we just let Jude wander and he wandered into Hot Topic. That store is my favorite and my least favorite. It is my favorite because it is one of the only places I can go to get things like video game tees, and Harry potter merchandise, and hair dye. It's one of my least favorite places because it is a store for 16 year olds and is a constant reminder that I am a little immature in my likes and interests. Take this for example. It was a sweatshirt with a tail. and a huge fuzzy beanie with bull horns! I would totally wear those and love it, but Derek reminded me that I am not 16 and I just look silly. 8(
