Just Crazy

Ok, so I went to the grocery store to pick up a few things. I saw several things that I didn't expect.

1. A huge Christmas tree at the entry way with a black Santa Claus sitting on a folding chair underneath it. Bizarre. I didn't see any photographer, so maybe it was just for kids to see him and sit on his lap...under the a/c vent.
2. Christmas trees! There were small trees and large ones, though they will probably be gone by tomorrow since it's the weekend. No matter, we have our own plastic one that we already paid too much for. The fresh trees looked like one of those Charlie Brown Christmas trees, but I suppose if you want to pay about $25 then you can get one.
3. Ben & Jerry's ice cream. They had Chunky Monkey, Cookie Dough and something else. I went to pick up a pint and froze when I saw the price tag. 6990CFA which equals roughly $14!!! For one pint! I said outloud (in English) that I was glad I wasn't pregnant with the baby right now, otherwise we'd be going broke. An American family of five nearby laughed. $14!!! Besides, we've got N'Ice Cream downtown which has really good ice cream. It even has a new flavor called Barack Obama--chocolate with a nougat-type crunch. Yum.
