On our way over to Ryan and Chel's tonight, we're stopping by the new International Plaza to have dinner at the California Pizza Kitchen. It's the first time we've had one in Tampa Bay -- and only the second time we'll have eaten there. The first time was at the St. Louis airport, so that doesn't really count... I can't wait! All emergency personal have been notified and are on alert, and the checkbook and credit cards are on lockdown. The mall opened a couple of weeks ago -- and it's the first time Tampa has had a Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, Lord & Taylor, J. Crew, Coach, Tiffany, Cheesecake Factory, Aveda, and L'Occitane -- just to name a few. I think it's best we get in, get out, get on with our life! A very dangerous place to have a hop, skip, and a jump away...
You're very lucky. Here, down under, I live in the middle of hicksville and there's nowhere to buy anything half way decent. One does not need willpower around here where the credit card is concerned. I'm going to spend a week with my mummy soon where the shopping is much better :)

Man, I wish I had a Cheesecake Factory at my mall... But it's funny, I live 1 mile from the mall but I never go there. Well, almost never - I have been there recently. The danger of finally having 2 nickels to rub together!
