Marathon shopping…
June 17, 2006 by comfortableredsweatpants
I loooved what I bought today for my Conference in Jasper next week. It’s sooo girly and cute…so not me…hahahaha! It’s a pantsuit set which I got for $49 bucks! Isn’t that a steal? Altogether, I was able to spend about $80 for something I can mix and match. I could’ve bought a black pantsuit set but it’s sooo not me. Hahaha…I figured, I can always buy black some other time. I mean, Summer is all about color and being all bright. I also got a nice shirt at RW & Co. for $19 bucks. I liked it because of the beadwork design. I would’ve probably spent more money on clothes but then again, I really don’t need lots. It’s just for the two days that we are there in Jasper. I have yet to buy a new pair of shoes to go with it though.
Shopping is soo much fun. I especially like it if am not rushed. HAHAHA. Well, Michelle and I close at work and we don’t really have time next week before we leave to do so, so we had to really go. I remember reading something in a book once…I think it was Elegance by Kathleen Tesaro about not shopping with friends. And after shopping with Michelle I think I kinda know what she means. I mean, it’s not bad shopping with Michelle, it was more of the whole "compete-y" aspect of shopping. I mean, I could’ve probably gotten more things at the other shops we went to if she didn’t feel the need to speed it along when she didn’t find things she liked. But I really didn’t mind. I’d rather shop with her than Katie…hahaha…Katie and shopping is a whole different ball of wax altogether. My feet surrenders to the thought of Katie and shopping. Michelle it’s the whole sneak and go. Hahaha…Kathleen probably has it right. Shopping by your lonesome is waay better and less stressful. HAHAHA!
On a different note, I closed at Riverbend and Justin drove me home. We ended up talking about aliens and religion and marriage. I tell you, guys no matter what size, color, creed and whathaveyou are almost always the same. I will never understand them…hahaha! I mean, what silly goose would postpone their honeymoon to play hockey? I don’t get that at all. Plus, apparently, marriage is a trial and error thing. I’m like, "Goooood luck, Justin’s fiancee…". I dunno…maybe somedays, am not as cynical about things as I claim to be. I can be so idealistic and so up in the air dreamy about certain things I almost want to retch.
Anyways, I have yet to get Jenny a present for her birthday tommorrow. I should probably go to bed and check out the mall before church tommorrow. Hmm…what to wear?
