Several times I almost ran into them as I was turning the corner to head down another aisle.\u00a0 I did not find the shoes I was looking for.\u00a0 Filene&#8217;s was packed yesterday.\u00a0 Chaos.\u00a0 The way the clothes were organized made my head explode a little bit.\u00a0 It could be arranged much better.\u00a0 I tried on a few things, none of which I liked.\u00a0 However, it was a nice feeling to not get something because I didn&#8217;t like it as opposed to not getting something because I couldn&#8217;t find anything that fit.<\/p>\n<p>Then I found Scott and he was showing me a few things he found and that&#8217;s when I stumbled upon a hoodie.\u00a0 It was black and had a sort of design on the front left and then a nice skull design on the back.\u00a0 Oh it&#8217;s hard for me to resist skulls so I bought it.\u00a0 It&#8217;s very comfy!\u00a0 I also found a lovely frame and bought some dark chocolates.<\/p>\n<p>Then it was over to Bed, Bath, and Beyond where I got a few things for the house that I needed.\u00a0 And then I saw they have a whole sort of &#8220;beauty&#8221; section.\u00a0 Whoa!\u00a0 That was a first.\u00a0 Make-up, shampoos, all that stuff.\u00a0 I found my nighttime face lotion, and also the lotion that helps you shave less by Aveena.\u00a0 I haven&#8217;t used that stuff in years because everyone stopped carrying it!\u00a0 So I picked up two bottles of that as well.\u00a0 Sweet!\u00a0 And then it was back home because I was pooped.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3400\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img
