I'll shop to that!

What do we do when I start to feel better?  Shopping!  At Dilli Haat you can get lots of STUFF!  Rugs, shoes, art, sarees, every few weeks there are different artisans from different parts of the country.  It's awesome...and pretty cheap.  Really cheap if you have Glen do the bargaining.  We ended up with 2 huge rugs and some outdoor lounge chairs.  And we're planning to go back as you can never have enough stuff.  Unless you're my Mom.  She has way too much stuff.AAAAAhhh dilli haat...one of my favourite places. getting quite good at this bargaining lark.  we have even agreed signals between us to denote when one of us likes something but we say we hate it just to lower the price.  obviously, for a bargaining position, if you say you like something, your position is compromise, so if one of us really likes something and really wants it, you will say "i dont really like it...its like the one that katie has'...then we shake our heads, tut, then begin to walk off....at which point, the price that you offer is acceoted (sometimes as low as 70% off the asking price).  now...this is all when and good if both of you remember the code word...however, sometimes when SOMEBODY WHO SHALL REMAIN NAMELESS forgets the code, then you end up sitting in a mattress store in town having the following arguement and cross stares...(lets use random colours to denote the people speaking...of course, totally random colours)
someone - "what do you think of this mattress?"
someone else - "im not sure, its way too expensive, i dont really like it, its like the one that katie has"
someone - "what do you mean? katie who?...how the hell do you know what mattress katie has?"
someone else - "nooooo *hard stare*...kaaaatttiiieeeeeee  *wink*"
someone = "katie who? WHO"s KATIE? katie from newark?  how have you seen her mattress??"
someone else - "nooo  *harder stare*..i-t-s- l-i-k-e- t-h-e- -o-n-e- K--A--T--I--E' has"
someone - "i have no ideaaaa-oooohhhhhhh k-a-t-i-e-...aaahhhhhh..right.  ok, thanks, we'll take it"
i kid you not...true story
