I went to the mall with Rachael and Mom, intending to maybe spend $15 in Borders... and I ended up spending nothing at Borders, but getting a shirt, a hoodie, and a totally cute pair of panties at Aerie, because it was buy one get one half off for tops, and v. v. cheap underwear. What, I am shopping at girl stores, hold the presses!
...I even tried on the bras there, but they don't make them in my size. One band size too small, motherfuckers. I could have walked out of there with a bra with a girl's name (Katie? or maybe Lucy.), but noooo, 38 is just too big for the butterflies that shop there. I have big-bosomed rage.
We ended up spending three hours there, and one of them I spent alone in Borders, meandering and browsing. I found an Anne Carson book, but it wasn't If Not, Winter... but skimming through it, my god, that woman is poetry. Gorgeous.
So, that turned out to be amazingly fun, being with my littlest, fashionista sister, and my usually hates-shopping mom for a while.
All day I was in the kind of dazey, not-quite-there phase, and I only really felt awake after we left the mall. So now it's midnight and I am ~~~*all energy*~~~, and I have books to get ready to mail for Paperback Swap, and a tote to finish sorting through, and I may even get started on the gargantuan task of organizing my crafts drawers (*GASP*) so I can be ready for the sending of Christmas/holiday cards. I will be making a post to collect addresses in a little while.
Best find of all in that surprise tote: MY SCOOBY-DOO SLIPPERS OH HELL YES. I haven't seen these suckers in YEARS. My feet, they will be warm and ready for scooby snacks all winter long!
