A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The...
Shopping mall. Today, I went on a shopping spree with mother and sis. It was helluva good time, too. More randomness of what went on after the cut.
The trip to the mall was surely uneventful, with bits of bickering back and forth between my sister and I. (The usual, really.) But when we got there, we found it to be uncustomarily crowded. Then it dawned upon me: It was Veteran's Day weekend. Great day to go shopping. ¬___¬;;
So, shopped around a few places, got a nice tee from Journeyz. Inscripted upon it was 'Come To The Dark Side. We have cookies.' It's glow-in-the-dark too. :D Then went to an overpriced designer clothings store - Hollister. From there, I spent about $30 worth of my money... But I digress. Next, I bought 3 pairs of jeans at a 20% off sale. And I got an additional discount, bringing the total to about a little more than $20. (Macy's club benefits rock my world, thankyouverymuch.) Yay. I now have several outfit choices for school now. And I am a very mix-and-match kind of person.
On with the spree! I then helped my mother pick out some... bras and underwear 'undergarments' as we shall so call them. While we were shopping in the 'undergarment' department, a family composed of a father, mother, and little girl came in. The mother wandered off to look at something farther away, leaving the father and daughter alone. The father watched the little girl wander around the store, eyes full of amazement at the racks full of... Well... But a certain piece caught her attention. The girl promptly took the piece off the rack and ran to show her father. The little girl held up the lacey linegerie bra to her chest and said, toying with the lace. "Fluffy!" The father's expression was priceless. *teehee*
Then we went to Longs, after a full day of shopping, for my sister's hair needs. (I swear, she is the epitomy of vanity.) After buying several bottles of her conditioner and special shampoo, we went to the styling section, to get the right gel and pins to get her thin, uncooperative hair into a bun. Leaving, I saw the traditional stereotype of an old man in front of the makeup section. It looked like he was staring at the Clinique model. It looked like I was staring at him. He saw me, and he quickly looked away, walking down the isle towards the nail polish and skin section. ˚_____˚
And that finished off the most amusing shopping trip I've ever had. Tah-dah.
Oh, also gotta finish editing the writing to enter in akizakurako's contest for her two OC's. Might post the finishing work up here after I'm done with the whole ordeal.
I'm pretty sure of my entry. But the maximum for entry is two. And I'm sure there are some plunnies running around in my head, waiting to be lassoed. I have no idea. I think I'll start on the second entry.
*whips out trusty pen* Off to the writing chamber!
