Cast:
Me = Claire (33), massive Disney fan, chief planner…(a little on the OCD side ) obsessive shopper, addicted to scrapbooking and very impulsive which doesn’t bode well for our credit cards!
Hubby = Lee (34), not a massive Disney fan but still enjoys it, adrenaline junkie, easy going and the sensible half of our partnership!
8th December 2008.
Thankfully we had an uninterrupted nights sleep and woke up at about 7am. Although my head was groggy for the first hour or so I had finally started to feel better. I just had a runny nose & cough but I can live with that.
I packed some of our things into the suitcases ready for our hotel move tomorrow, then had a shower & got ready for our shopping day!! I drove over to the Prime Outlets, we haven’t been here since it had been changed from the old Belz mall. It was nice & I would definately go back.
The funky Christmas tree:
For some reason I didn’t make note of what I bought today?? (Maybe I subconsciously realised I didn’t want any written evidence for hubby to use against me at some point in the future!
) Anyway I will do my best to remember what we bought.
We were at Prime a few hours and went in lots of shop but I won’t list them & bore you all.
I bought lots of smellies from Bath & Body works, they had lots of Christmas fragrance shower gels etc such as Candied Apple I got several different ones to try and so far they have all been lovely. They also had a lovely ceramic penguin which I couldn't resist, it is white & chrome with a lovely cinnamon scented candle inside. (I forgot to take a picture before I packed it away with the Christmas decorations at the weekend.
) Lee bought himself a lovely Fossil watch & I got a DKNY watch – mine was so cheap compared to DKNY watches over here.
I also bought two pairs of Sketchers trainers.
Lee also found a pair he liked but didn’t buy them
, he later went on to regret this as we never saw them anywhere else & didn’t make it back to the Outlets get them.
I couldn’t not go in the Disney Outlet could I?
I bought some Mickey head Halloween candle holders, some WDW scrapbook kits, stickers & a Tinkerbell Scrapbook. I think that was it, we also stopped for an ice cream (mint choc chip), it was a really lovely sunny hot day and I was regretting wearing jeans!
We then went over to the Mall at Millenia, it was about 2pm by now & other than the ice cream we hadn’t eaten today. First stop was Johnny Rockets, if you haven’t been before it is an American style diner & they do the best milkshakes here!! Chocolate for me, Strawberry for Lee. YUM! We also had a burger & fries each for lunch, which was lovely.
Unfortunately Lee was starting to feel ill today
so I made him take some tablets in the hope it would just be a headache & pass.
The Christmas decorations here were lovely:
I saw a gorgeous pink handbag in Gucci but resisted the temptation
I got a few more bits in Yankee Candle, some perfume & make up from Victoria Secrets & Lee got some Paco Rabanne aftershave. We left the mall about 6pm and headed back to the hotel so Lee could rest as he was now feeling really rough!
I finished packing the rest of our things & the new purchases ready for the morning. We didn’t feel that hungry so just had some snacks in the evening that we had bought from Walmart earlier in the trip. Lee had an early night & I surfed the internet for a while & watched tv before going to sleep about 10.30pm.
Coming soon - Day 9….We finally get to Disney!!!!!
