People watching at the Landing

Friday nights are always different at CofO. No one ever knows what to do. When I got off work this afternoon Emma and Rachel kidnapped me and we went to Bed, Bath, and Beyond to get a wedding present for Rachel's friends. Then we went to dinner and Emma decided that she wanted to go to Arkansas for the weekend with Rachel. Emma likes those "spur of the moment" adventures. :-) So, Eli and I decided to go get some iced coffee at Vintage Paris and go window shop at the landing.

My iced coffee was delicious, even if it did cost $2.37. The company was good (thanks Eli!), and the atmosphere was lovely. The landing was crowded though. It took us about 20 minutes to find an actual parking spot, but it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. For you who don't know, the Landing is Branson Landing. It's basically part of downtown Branson by the water and has a lot of expensive stores and restaurants. But it's fun to window shop and people watch.
I ALMOST tried on a pair of Chacos. I've been wanting to for a while now but hadn't gotten the chance. When I went into the store tonight there were about 4 employees standing around a desk and not one of them came and asked me if I needed help. Therefore, I did not try on Chacos tonight. I really wanted too though. I want to BUY some. But not from them. Not after tonight. Actually that decision had already been made. They're much cheaper online.
Now I'm sitting in my room eating a bag of popcorn all by myself. I think I'm going to try and find a movie to watch while I wallow in my gloom. :-)
