The Malls around here

Well, i finally went to two of the nearest malls around the area.  The one nearest to me was a little disappointing, but I think it was because I was looking for something in particular that I did not find.  I was looking for curtains and a curtain rod for my little girl's room.  The only department stores that were in this mall were Macy's, Sears and JCPenney.  Unfortunately, they had a sad selection of home goods overall.  This is the reason I concluded that this mall was "small."  I don't think I've been back since, but I will give it another try in the future for shopping in general, especially since it is so close.  The other mall that is about 20 minutes away has recently been updated according to my husband.  It literally is a bigger mall and has more department store selections and even an "upscale" area of stores.  Besides the upscale part which is available in Houston (but not in every mall), this size and selection of mall is what I'm generally used to.  Needless to say, I really miss the selection of stores that I had available where I moved from.  Shopping is not the same anymore.=(
