mall walkers...

I was in the mall today [thanks to some awesome coupons for aerie], and I got there close to when it opened at 10am.  I learned 2 things while there:

1. If you have a toddler and are a stay at home mom, the malls kid area is the place to be in the winter [it's a pretty good idea, all the toddlers were having a blast playing together].

2. Mall walkers freak me out.

Seriously, about #2.  They turn following some unknown-to-me path, and you sort of don't want to be awkward and stop so they can walk in front of you [this isn't a driving situation, after all], but you also don't want to walk in front of them, only to feel like you have got to speed your stroll up so that they don't catch up to you.  Sheesh.

Mall walkers... totally make my shopping experience awkward.

-mrp-

ps: they were all decked out in workout clothes too... which I know I shouldn't judge [how many times have I put on my workout clothes and not worked up a sweat].  But it was weird to see them in the mall, dressed up to work out, and creeping up behind you every couple of minutes.  Between them, the random guy that's either handing you lotion, or asking to straighten your crazy looking hair, it's no wonder I don't spend more time in the mall... eek!
