I spent from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. today at the Flatirons Crossing Mall with my terrific niece, nephew, and sister enjoying the after-Christmas sales and doing some back-to-school shopping in the nearly empty mall. I bought some fun things for myself, too (love love love my new Converse high tops that have fuzzy cheetah-patterned fabric); but mostly enjoyed getting to spend time with Morgan and Drew. It’s amazing how funny and wise 15 and 16 year old people can be.
