I admit, I’m not much of a mall shopper these days. I shop online. I wait for Neiman Marcus to have free shipping combined with some sort of “extra 30% off” promo and then I go in for the kill.

There are some places that I just haven’t been to in a while for no good reason. Wine Time is one of those places. It was lunchtime and we had no food.
