Consumer Nausea

In a hurry to get ourselves properly set up for living, Mallar and I have been on a shopping binge. From Macy’s to Best Buy to Bed, Bath and Beyond and even IKEA –a store Mallar had resolved not to ever have to return to –we were loading up on all the missing pieces. It was rather nauseating to consume so much all at once -the packaging alone probably cleared a small forest. Recycling is actually giving us a workout these days. It had to be done at some point, though. Thankfully, the attending sales people were all super nice. Unsolicited, we got given everything from extra savings coupons to restaurant recommendations. Clearly, Toto, we are not in Aarhus, anymore. Service here is with a smile.
