lol, that's pretty bad when a GUY is complaining about the shopping! JK
There's that one good mall in like Eldin or something, just past Crystal Lake on the way to Chicago from where you are. I used to go there when I needed a shopping fix or to walk the babies and just get out for a bit
I was pretty sick while I lived there, in the hospital for a bit too and then on complete bed rest for about 4 mths of a pregnancy, so I guess I didnt' get out much, but I miss the library there most, it had fictional movies and all kinds of good stuff that the ones in VA don't
Free movie night for me and the kids
Plus I like the people better, they are SO wound around the axle in NoVa! Everyone is too damn important to do anything but work and party until they are senseless.....not good, I miss just being able to relax, though I do believe in the "work hard, play hard" philosphy
