Shopping was a lot of fun if you like getting up at 2:30am ( I use the term "getting up" loosely as we went to bed at 9pm and this gal didn't get a wink of sleep). We didn't wait outside in any crazy line ups nor attempt to kill any of the poor people trying to make a living. We also did not complain for 45 minutes straight like the woman behind us in the Kohl's line up. I wish I was kidding when I say she would not shut up about the wait to pay. "How long is this line", "why did we get out of the other line" "what is taking so long" on and on and on. Really??? You really had no idea that you would be waiting an hour to pay for a few cheap items??? I wanted to tell her to shut the fuck up but refrained.
I bought some cute tops and a lovely purse, a few other items as well but did not go overboard as A) our dollar sucks at the moment and B) someone left the above sign all over a department store that made me feel bad.LD picked out a few items that should never have been made such as:
Barfy green Apple Bottom high tops with sequins
Gold Lamme and gold sequined blouses
She also ordered mozzarella sticks at the one restaurant as an appetizer and they brought her 5 gigantic egg roll type sticks filled with cheese. We're used to the tiny little snacks the size of a finger. God Bless America!!------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Day 5 of my vacation and I completely threw my back out. I was being a wonderful Auntie and playing with my lovely niece when BAM I felt a twinge and hit the floor. I stayed on that damn floor for over an hour as I could not stand up straight (erect for 2DP cause he seems to like that word). I have a reoccurring back issue from years ago and when this happens I'm toast for days. It is sort of a double edged sword as I have a million things that I would like to accomplish while I am off of work but I also really need to clean out my Tivo and read a book before next week sooooo........I guess I'll be doing those two things until I feel better as even sitting in a chair is torturous right now.

I too have the back problems. Rest well and get it taken care of before it gets worse.
Oh, back problems. I know ye well. I got mine from running (and maybe a little jump at one point) while carrying fake rocks.
I love the "Stop Consuming" poster. Sorry to hear about your back. I can so relate!
Oh no!! I'm so sorry about your back. I like your descriptive "barfy" lol
Wiwille, oh I plan to, I'm doing absolutely nothing until it is 100%better as I know the slightest thing will set me back.
WIGSF, why were you running with fake rocks?
Scott, yeah we loved it to! They also placed info about sweatshops on every single pair of jeans that were hanging up. LD and I were happy that someone had the balls to do that!
Jlee, there is not other word to describe them ;)
Work.
Holy crap 2:30am is early! Good work you! I'm heading to the states this weekend for hopefully some fruitful shopping.
just got blog back up and running. i posted a few pics from Halloween night & other oddites. check it out when you get some time fullmoonindustries.blogspot.com/
stay true~
Everything in US is bloated and that includes our food, debt and problems.
I appreciate the word choice, but am sorry to hear about yr. back. Backs are no fun at all when they rebel on you, so I hope you get to feeling reasonable sooner rather than later and are able to stand erect and pain-free.
In the interim, enjoy the time away from work as Tivo and books are fine ways to spend it (I was out sick from work yesterday & did those exact things).
WIGSF, it's a shame they make you run with them.
Rawbean I hope you find lots of great deals and cool items!
FMI, okay!
Yrautca, Ha! True true sir.
2DP, Day 3 of Tivo and reading is a little much, I take back every time I said "I wish I could just lay in bed all day"
I just looked it up, and wow, your dollar really isn't doing so great. I was keeping an eye on it earlier this year, and you guys came soooooo close to beating the U.S. dollar (which would have been the first time in over 30 years, I believe). I was rooting for you on that one.
I liked the whole "stop consuming" poster all over the store thing. It sounds like something one of my friends would do.
Awh, my back went out on me during various periods of my life. Hope you feel good as new soon!
Pip, yeah it sucks right now. And to think last year it was rockin!
IG, The only other people that understand the awfulness of back pain are those that have experienced it. I hate the "go to the dr's" "get up and walk around" "it can't still be hurting you can it?"
