Everyone who knows me knows that I've always had a weakness when it comes to shopping. I don't even have to buy anything, it's just fun to walk around and look at everything. I really love this time of year when I know that I get to buy things for other people. These past 3 days have been prime examples of my shopping addiction.
On Saturday, mom and I left her house with every intention of going to eat lunch, then visit my grandparents and finally go to the grocery store. Well lets just say things didn't go according to plan. We made it to lunch and then decided since Target was right there to run in there "real quick" About 2 hours later we walked out of Target with a bunch of stuff neither of us needed, but felt we couldn't live without. After our Target experience, we went to Sam's. Sam's is one of my favorite places for some reason and I always seem to find something that I just can't live without; Saturday it was wine :-) Once we finished our Sam's adventure, we went to HEB to get a few things. For those of you who have never been to an HEB, you seriously don't know what you're missing. It's kinda like a Central Market, but not quite as "fancy." So mom and I got our few things and got out of there when we realized it was already 5 and we had been gone since about 11. Needless to say, we didn't make it to my see my Nan and Pops, but we sure had lots of fun shopping the day away.
Sunday morning I was awakened by John, my step-dad, shooting a shotgun outside my window and then coming into by bedroom, turning on the light and saying, "wakey, wakey, eggs and bakey" Lucky for him I was already awake, but just not ready to face the world. Once I got out of bed, mom and I cooked breakfast and then decided to run to HEB to get some wine for the fondue we were making for dinner. Mom and I somehow managed to spend 3 hours walking around HEB trying different samples, looking at all the rows of things and drinking about 5 gallons of tea. I'm telling you HEB is seriously one of my most favorite places to go shopping.
Today, I had to head back home and get back to the real world. It was nice having the day off today though and getting to spend that extra night with mom. Chris had the day off too, and no kids, so we actually got to spend some time together. He took me to lunch and then we went shopping at Grapevine Mills mall. You would think that I'd be tired of shopping, but nope, I was ready to go at it again. We had so much fun walking around looking at all the fun stuff in the stores.
Tomorrow it's back to work, but only for 9 days and then I'm on vacation for a week. I can't wait to see my daddy and the rest of my family over Thanksgiving; I just wish my brother was going to be able to come down too :-(
I hope this finds you doing well and as ready for the holiday season as I am. This time of the year is always fun for me, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Brad's Birthday, My Birthday, Christmas and New Years all within about 2 months of each other. FYI... Friday begins the one month countdown until I turn 29 for the second time.
