the giant paper tree had a head. and two feet.

greg and i went to woodfield mall today. in his words, woodfield is the tourist mall of illinois. it is definitely very large and has a weird section with three levels a little bit intertwined. so it's interesting.

i had tons of fun. maybe because i bought so many bras (because i had the 40% off coupon) and in my defense, annie asked for five bras. it went from 150 to 100. so i was pretty happy.

anthropologie was tons of fun too. we definitely played with all the non-clothing stuffs there and greg found a kichen bible which he proceeded to peruse from cover to cover while i was trying on clothing. apparently he knows how to cook liver now. it's a good book, i guess.

i found some very very cute measuring cups in anthropologie and proceeded to photograph each of them. i thought these were the cutest. haha.


i also took pictures of myself in the dressing room with each of the dresses i tried on. some of the less embarassing ones are on fb, but only the ones i didn't buy. i ended up buy two dresses and a skirt. i hope i'll be able to wear them. it's been getting colder lately. i think dresses are so much easier to wear! i don't have to worry about matching tops with bottoms. well. not as much anyway. i ended up spending about $140ish. two were $40 and the third was $50. sigh. it's anthropologie so i have to be okay with spending that much...

on my way to the cashier i saw this giant paper tree. and then i realized the giant paper tree had a head. and two feet. haha. it was an ostrich! i had to take a picture with it. i thought it was so cool.


anyway. when we came home, i decided to try to make oven baked bbq chicken since i had bought bbq sauce. i wrapped it in foil like one of the recipes online told me to do. but then the bbq sauce wasn't as thick and yummy as it was diluted with chicken juice. and then since i cut up the breast into much smaller pieces, i think i overcooked it, so it was really wet on the outside but dry inside. we had mashed potatoes and canned corn with it! yay!
