i've been feeling very girly lately. above and beyond the every day domestics. while amy was here she was forced to help me buy perfume, shoes and shop for handbags. the horror. the perfume was from the duty free shop on the border. it's elizabeth arden's green tea. two amies agreed that it was lovely, and it was cheap. we also bought cheap alcohol, hopefully amy's grey goose made it home in one piece.
i was trying to find something appropriate and seasonal to wear to sara the bank teller's wedding this sunday, and so amy had to survive the mall with me. i didn't actually have any luck. i'm still praying that old navy opens saturday...but as a compromise i picked up some femme heels to dress up some work clothes. sara won't care, but it's a mark of respect to look nice. they make me taller than matt. which he suggested should help me reach things. it's not that i can't reach them myself, i just like it when he does it for me. it's the principle of the thing.
i looked at bags in marshalls and tjmaxx, the only stores i could ever afford to purchase one in, but had no luck. the only one i really liked was $60. since no one else in the bangor municipal area can afford that price either (atleast no one who shops at tjmaxx) i have great hopes that if i'm diligent enough it'll be marked down more and i'll catch the deal. shopping is a sport after all, it's all about strategy.
