I think Auntie definitely wins the title, but I suppose I'd have to ask the incredibly lucky upper middle class Nordic children to be sure.heartinsanfranciscohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07535397382991383931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33559037.post-16609958286489422532009-06-09T23:36:13.972-05:002009-06-09T23:36:13.972-05:00I'm sorry, I was lost in the sparkling glory o...I'm sorry, I was lost in the sparkling glory of that mall, all of my smart comment just went away...flutterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11828689769747130419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33559037.post-67402118670069994682009-06-09T18:11:00.961-05:002009-06-09T18:11:00.961-05:00as an occasional reader and a 28 year old white wo...as an occasional reader and a 28 year old white woman, i hope my authority is enough to vouch for the fact that it is a (color-incorrect) boba fett. :) <br /><br />and i second all those other commenters giving kudos for bravery -- you couldn't get me into a mall that big with a stick!KarraCrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13428803122688262454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33559037.post-88004880782395953152009-06-09T17:17:37.505-05:002009-06-09T17:17:37.505-05:00Hey - you were in the Matron's neck of the Nor...Hey - you were in the Matron's neck of the Nordic frolic.

I can buy that reasoning.<br />I laughed out loud, kind of shocked my daughter when I did that so I had to tell her it was over reading your line, "Suck with sprinkles on top! -which she definitely loved as much as I did. I didn't however tell her what the line was in reference to as when that stuff happened here, she was old enough to remember it but not old enough to really realize what a pain in the dupa it was to have your kitchen and dining areas remodeled simultaneously while you are still residing in the house! We lived out of boxes and bags and even drawers from some of the old cupboards strategically (yeah, believe that one there's a bridge someplace)scattered throughout the downstairs with all the supplies or most anyway, that I needed to try to prepare nutritious, as well as delicious (another joke) meals on a daily basis for the family. So any kind of remodeling is a pain for sure, but a kitchen -most certainly does suck with sprinkles on top.

When they remodeled our place they did the kitchen, the bathroom, the floors all over the apartment, took down the burlap and plaster walls and put up drywall instead - while we were living there. It was hell and then some. I dealt with it much better than Mr. Jazz until the final day, when the sink arrived and it was finally over. <br /><br />He came to pick me up at work and said, "um, problem, the sink was broken" at which point I promptly had a metltdown. At which point, taken aback he told me it was a joke. At which point I didn't speak to him for two days.Jazzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14644896022880634803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33559037.post-69056299292290275332009-06-09T07:31:05.072-05:002009-06-09T07:31:05.072-05:00That was all in a MALL?
