Retail Therapy

Knowing that in a few weeks I will be joining my husband in Florida for the summer, I elected to do a little shopping this afternoon with my mom. We were specifically looking for dresses to wear to my reception on May 5th. I must have tried on nearly thirty dresses. My hair was utterly destroyed. I stepped on a pin that was camouflaged in the fitting room carpet. I re-injured my old lady hip (don't ask why someone who is in her mid-twenties has bursitis...it has to do with pointy bones) by bumping into the door of the JC Penney's dressing room (which, I might add, SUCKS since their remodel...They used to have so many fitting rooms, and they got rid of a lot of them). I was thirsty, hungry, and tired. I had given up trying to decide if I had gone up or down a size (because the only thing unstable about me is my weight!) and just took three sizes of each dress into the miniature fitting room. Once inside, I quickly determined that the hook that was intended to be used to hang the clothes upon was placed in such a location that, once I hung the dresses there, I was unable to close the door. So I shimmied in and out of dresses with the door half-open. Then, I found the right dress! It is beautiful, and I can't wait to wear it! I LOVE SHOPPING!
