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.

    1. Wow! You did kick ass. Way to go. I finished up some time ago. I am one of those freaks who buys all year and has my tree up and all the gifts wrapped by Dec 1!

      that way all December specials and sales can be left for self purchases…maybe not so freaky after all!

    4. I am so not feeling the Christmas spirit yet. I’ve done it all. The decorations..the shopping and still not feeling it. I immediately thought of a war when I read this post. YOu are my hero.

    8. You GO, girl! Doesn’t it feel awesome? 😀

      I did the same the past two days, all done now. DONE, I tell you!

      Well except for baking stuff.

      And wrapping gifts.

      😮

    14. I inspired you didn’t I? Didn’t I??? I am DONE already this year! But, the cards aren’t done…packages need to be shipped, cookies need to be made…but still. I probably don’t have to go to the mall again for another 6 months…

      You will get it all done! *sending mall tackling superpowers your way…oh, and amazing sale prices*
