RUN-AROUND THURSDAY

SWMBO had a doctor appointment in Chandler this morning.  I was the chauffer.  Afterwards we visited Mimi's Cafe . . .


. . . where we each enjoyed Eggs Benedict.


SWMBO said it felt special to have Eggs Benedict in a restaurant on a Thursday morning!

Then we came home and I dropped her to put her feet up and relax while I ran out to do some errands.

By the way, I WON THE POWERBALL last night!

Well . . . not the big one.  But I did get three numbers which earned me seven dollars.  I cashed my ticket, got one more set of numbers for the next game and pocketed a five-spot.  Now for that big one on Saturday night!  I definitely have a use for that half a billion dollars.  Well, I guess it's only around 350 million if you take a one-time cash payment.  But still.

While out and about I found a correct digital cable for my computer monitor today so I'm back in business, full screen.



And I stopped in at Arizona Mills . . a huge outlet mall in Tempe.  Here's an overhead view.


You can get an idea of the size of it if you compare it with the cars parked all around it or on the adjacent streets.  I went inside at Entry Seven, which is where a multiple screen theatre complex is located, right next to an IMAX theatre which advertises a six-story tall screen.  Just past the theatres is a huge food court with many restaurants AND a full-scale carousel.


If you're looking for a nice quiet meal, this is NOT the place.  But it's fun to watch the kids enjoying themselves at full volume.

There are at least 185 stores and many restaurants in the mall.  I only covered a very small part of it but the legs weren't having any more today.

And if you were wondering after yesterday's post, it's still hot today.  But the weatherman says tomorrow the mercury will peak at only 96 degrees and Saturday will be positively cool at 93!  If you're around Lake Tahoe, in California or Nevada, today, it's snowing!  Eat your heart out!

  1. No snow here. No high temps either. Lunch under a tree at a cafe in Harmony, no big crowds. Guess we are boring here on the central coast. BTW, those eggs benedict look good and sound like a great idea.

  2. Rain here in Portland, and around fifty-eight degrees. Glad your computer problem is solved.

  4. That is one HUGE mall! Do they have an "adults only" day? ;)

    Actually, I think I'd take Lake Tahoe's snow to your 96 degrees.

    Glad the 'puter's back in proper working order.

  5. I used to buy lottery tickets for every drawing but the most I ever won was $40.00. I gave up on it and have ended up with thousands that I didn't spend on tickets.
