 Today I am going shopping. 

Mum sent me some money this week, not for a particular reason but just so that I could have a fun weekend, which was super nice of her. But I have also acquired, through various honest and nefarious means, a handful of giftcards: $10 at Starbucks, $25 at Macy's, $20 at Old Navy, $45 at Target, $5 at Wow Bao.

So the plan is to leave here at 9:30, have some tea at the Starbucks in the Macy's basement and then buy a saucepan at Macy's, get a late breakfast at Wow Bao, buy a shirt at Old Navy, pick up some grocery staples and maybe a bluetooth keyboard at Target, and then dig into the "Mum fund" for latkes and blini at Russian Tea Time. And then I have a groupon for a reflexology massage!

And thus home. Where I may, depending on my whim, pressure-cook a loaf of bread before retiring to the internet.  

I feel so cosmopolitan. Even though I will be shopping at Target for most of the morning. It's not suburban if you can take the train to it!

I haven’t posted any origami in a few days -- so I made up with it with lions, and tigers, and bears.



The “two bears” figure is one of my favourites; it’s asymmetrical and strange and works in a particularly charming fashion, especially when you use awesome paper and make a FANCY bear.
