How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

I Kicked That Malls Ass!

in Uncategorized on


By 8am I had my war gear on.

Jeans, T-Shirt, Hoodie and comfortable shoes. (yes comfort was needed this time)

Dropped the kids at school and had my butt parked in front of my prey.

The biggest mall in town.

I had my weapons…my list of “must get gifts”, and my VISA.

In under 3 hours I plowed through a list of gifts for the girls, my 2 nieces, 2 nephews, my Grandmother, my Mother, my Sister and even polished off the odds and ends for my dearest Hubby. Oh and did I mention that I also managed to pick up a sweet winter coat and gloves for little ole me!

Store by store I took them all down one by one.

Feeling a little more at peace, a tad more victorious with each zip ding of the credit card machine.

Retail therapy.

Only about 12 more gifts to buy with just under 8 more shopping days left.
It can be done.
Sigh.

Tis the season my friends, tis the season.

    3. WAY.TO. GO. I can remember feeling an exhilarated sense of achievement when the moons and stars aligned presenting time , some energy, and the freedom to move quickly and spend.

    8. I was at the mall today and didn’t do so well. I blame my shoes. No matter how much I try not to be, I guess I’m just a last minute Christmas person 🙂

    9. Im glad you got the coat and gloves…I did alot online… but did manage a few trips where I slipped in some perfume, shirt and various other items my hubby would forget…we deserve it..!!
