My no agenda agenda for today

Can't seem to kick in gear today... One of the frustrations of being a writer is trying to write regardless if you have something to say or not. It didn't help that I had a rather restless night, my mind was "on" but I was thinking about really stupid things - such as how many people my apartment can hold for Thanksgiving this year and why do cats sleep so much? These are not mind-boggling questions and yet they did keep me up.

I just had a second cup of coffee and that isn't helping. So I'm chalking today up as a non-work day or perhaps I'll get in the groove later in the day. What I really need is to go out with my best friend, unfortunately, she has moved out of Manhattan and up to the Albany area. Sure I guess I could meet her half way at Woodbury Commons but she has a normal 9 to 5 job (which we all know means 7:30 AM to 6 or 6:30 PM). So that isn't happening on a weekday...

Perhaps I will go to Mikimoto and finally break down and buy the string of pearls with the sapphire accents I've been eying for the past year. Or maybe just get lost in Bergdorf's for a couple of hours.

I wonder if the stores have started putting holiday decorations up yet. I remember the past few summers that Hallmark started putting up Christmas tree ornaments in late July or early August. While I do understand that retailers make most of their money for the year during the holiday season it's been getting out of control for the past 20 or so years. Each year the holiday decorations come out earlier and earlier.

Ok Bergdorf's it is - I see they are now in "Final Sale" and this is always fun. I love nothing more than finding a pair of shoes that were originally $1500 marked down by 75%! So with that I will wish you a wonderful day and hopefully tomorrow I will have something intelligent to tell you about a travel destination.

Ciao!
