Mrs. Claus

Mrs. Claus was on the subway with me this morning. (yes, i took the subway. i had presents to drag in!)

It's not like she was dressed like Mrs. Claus. She was dressed like she was going to work. She just looked like Mrs. Claus, down to the cute wire framed glasses.

And she was carrying one of those green and gold Gap bags, which was just way too hip for her. The Clauses should not shop at the Gap. They should make toys whittled from fallen twigs, so as not to disturb the ecosystem.

Then I had to muse on the fact that I make toffee and peanut brittle every year, from scratch, from my stepmother's recipes, and I avoid the Gap whenever possible. (although Old Navy is okay somehow) In true urban hipster fashion (::snort::), I package it in something interesting- this year was Chinese food containers that Sheri and I got in Miami at some Chinese superstore.

I love Chinatowns wherever I travel. Little Tokoyo in LA was not all it was cracked up to be, but still enjoyable. And it occurs to me that I almost never shop in Philadelphia's Chinatown. I will go there for dinner, but to shop? No. What's up with that? It's a pretty cool Chinatown. I don't need to go to New York for Chinatown. (while there is a store in New York's Chinatown that has bizarre Japanese notebooks and things that I've never seen anywhere else)

From Mrs. Claus to Chinatown. It's that sort of day. I wore jeans to work. I *never* do that.
