i finaggled my way into the annual nordstrom -"invite only"- earn 10 points for every dollar spent - shopping extravaganza - thingy. i went with two goals: to drink as much free champagne as possible and buy as much stuff as possible (i really wanted to maximize the point earning potential).
this is what i learned:
1-3 glasses of champagne = free time spent in search of more champagne instead of looking at things to buy.
4 glasses of champagne = a noticeably increased desire to buy things, accompianed by an increased level of chit chat with catherine, thus interfering with any efforts put forth to sort through the racks.
5+ glasses of champagne = a slight fixation on finding something to eat. far too dizzy and distracted to try anything on.
in conclusion, the champagne was delicious but i didn't buy nearly as much as i'd anticipated (which is probably a good thing). and i have a wicked headache today. and i think i made some more friends with the nordstrom staff (which is how i got into the dang thing in the first place). oh, i did purchase some really specatular lotion, so that'll be nice.
