I am a consumer whore.

Today I went to the Mall and bought something from each of the three floors:

Today I went to the Mall and bought something from each of the three floors:
<ul<li>3rd floor, Sport Chalet, pair of black Converse Chuck Taylor All-Stars ($34.99).
<li>2nd floor, Borders Books & Music, Tomahawk's <em>Mit Gas</em> ($16).
<li>1st Floor, Tinderbox, Arturo Fuente Hemingway Short Story cigars. ($7 x 4 = $28).
</ul>
I haven't had a pair of Converse shoes in years. I feel relaxed in them.

The Mall, like all other Malls, has a "Yankee Candles" store in it. Do that many people buy expensive scented candles so that there can be one in each mall? Or is this a waxy Enron on the way, a mess of cooked books and cinnamon-cashew scented wax?

I find the candles I get for $2.00 a box at Pic-n-Save work just as well as one that can be found for $2.00 each from candle stores, home stores, and hardware stores. It seems my oil lamp is much more cost effective, and just as cool for general ambiance.

And WHY do I have to pass by the smelly candle store every time I want to go to the Apple store?! Waaaa....
