Houston

I've woken up in my hotel room in Houston,its cold(damn air-con) and dark outside.Im so happy tucked up in my bed.Its 6am I should try sleep more but the remote is calling me.
My favourite thing about Houston is the TV,ridiculous but true. The other night Friends,CSI- Las Vegas and Greys were all on at the same time! All my favourites,deciding which one to watch was the most difficult decision I've had to make in ages. Easy life I have!
I went shopping yesterday, to a mall The Galleria.Had to catch a bus to get there.A bus???
Of course we find the only crazy on the bus.Some weird guy with a red face and ginger hair,wearing double denim-you can just imagine it! HE felt the need to give us a running commentry of the trip.On the left is where his aunt used to live,on the right is a Wendys he ate at,you know all the useful infomation that I was just dying to know!!
Finally got off the bus and lost him and then its straight to the food court.We were all hungry so we needed to find food.The portion sizes in the states are not to be laughed at.Burgers the size of dinner plates and litre milkshakes.I setteled for a salad.
I found a shop on the ground floor filled with tacky things,I spent over an hour goin throught the rails finally deciding on an animal print dress with a sequin band around the boobs,a stunning black jersery and a rollong stones two tone t-shirt(my fav!) and of course a selection of cheap costume jewellery.
All I want to do is go back to my hotel room but we've agreed to meet at 2pm to go together.So I walk around a bit more and find SAKS.Ah I love touching designer clothing.I found a D&G skirt suit that I just hold against me for 15 minutes.PRADA and CHANEL have fab collections and I just walk around touching them.I found a full fur coat.How do I feel about fur?
I love the way it feels on my skin but it is in fact a dead animal.Is it ok,cos its dead already and someone has to wear it? Truth be told though,when I see someone in fur I get mad.
Im like How dare you!!!!
Guess Im against fur.Except vintage.Thats my loophole!Fur from 40years ago is fine,those animals would have died by now anyway and there were more animals back then.
So finally get on the bus and its back to the hotel.Its the end of the school day so there are many high school students on board.They scare me.I 've watched to many movies.I keep my eyes downcast,what if I make eye contact and they attack me! silly.
Walking from the bus stop to my hotel I see a hotdog stand.
Im so overcome with excitment! An actual hotdog stand,its so America.I get one with ketchup and tomatoe and onion.It was ok,but I was hoping for cooked relish that would soak into the roll and go all soggy,like the hotdogs from the Windmill in East London.Ooohhh,I want one now!!!!
Think its time to order breakfast.
Im think pancakes.
When in Rome and all!!!!
