i did all my christmas shopping this weekend. a couple hours yesterday, a few more hours today. lightning fast. loads of dollars poorer. i have a ritual of dining alone in the nordstrom cafe, reading (and i’ve been reading feverishly again since i’ve moved out!) whenever i can — coffee, tomato basil soup and the salmon nicoise salad. and while i was enjoying my fine coffee, an older woman sat a couple of seats away from me and i heard her on the phone talking about gifts and how she got someone this “very blingy bling” piece of clothing. i’d guess she was in her 50s. i gathered she was a grandmother from her conversation. a well kept, up to date grandmother. i thought to myself, wow, i wouldn’t even utter the phrase “blingy bling”. how much cooler is she than me?
