Shopping: The Woman's Favorite Pastime
|
You know the saying 'shop till you drop'? I know it well. And it never seems to take me long. Even the novelty of being at Barnes & Noble keeps me going. I mean, you can only look at so many cd's by artists you don't know, books you've read before and movies from the 60's before your feet start to drag and your head starts to hurt. Then you get that empty feeling deep inside. A longing for something. Something hot. Something tasty. (That empty feeling? It's called hunger.) So why am I telling you all this? Got me.
As you can tell by the above reference to B&N, we've been to Deptford again. I'm told we go there a lot. But it seems to me that everyone else is always going too. Many times we've even followed the Davises up there, unintentionally. We hit some new stores this time. BabiesRus, for instance. I'd never been in there before. 'Course, I've never had reason to want to be in there before but we've a baby shower coming up next month. Poor James. BabiesRus is not a man's store. I don't particularly care for it myself. Gimme Walmart anyday. James spent most of this time testing out the various rocking chairs and gliders. I spent the time fending off half a dozen sales associates who all wanted to help me find stuff I wasn't even looking for. And you should get a load of the diaper bags they've got out now. I have always thought it rather dumb that these bags are covered in little bears and stars and Winnie the Pooh characters. I mean, it's not like the baby is the one toting that thing around. Why don't they make adult-looking bags since it's the parents that have to deal with this accessory?
JoAnn Fabrics was having the world's biggest sale today. Ok, maybe not that big. But it was the whole reason we went out today. I got a new patio set for the arbor (which is still in process of being built). It's so cute! and exactly what I wanted. Mom found some (more) fabric for a(nother) quilt. I found... what did I find? Nothing I guess except my table and chairs. Did I mention those already? How 'bout their cuteness?
So anyway, yeah, I shopped until I dropped (1:30). I guess I just don't last very long. Perhaps it is because I do not take the trouble of practicing? |

Oh boy! I'm the first one to comment on your blog! What fun.
Poor James! You had to go to all those, er, feminen(spelling?) stores (Excepting B&N of course)! Which by the way, have you ever tried the peanutbutter-chocolate-layer cake that they sell in B&N? To die for!!! You should try it sometime.

Derek, I've never tried any of the cakes in the coffee shop. Though the next time I'm finished shopping before anyone else, I may just remember that little piece of advice.
PS-Congratulations on commenting first. :)

| The ShugaBowl |
| Sounds like some kind of sports thing, but in reality, the ShugaBowl is just a little hideaway for me, Sugarcube herself, to let loose my thoughts and occasional creativeness. |
