clothes shopping


i dont know when i became a speed shopper.
it must have been somewhere b/t kid 1 and 2.
i try to see as much as i can in a short time OR
find what i'm looking for in record time.

i dont relish in the shopping experience as i did as a teen.
i guess it comes from not having to only buy for myself,
and feeling guilty for spending too much money.
i usually shop for the new season ( winter , summer)
or for an event

Target is my only true shopping joy.
i can spend hours there buying nothing and everything
it never gets old to me

today my daughter begged for mom time
can we go shopping just you and me
she doesnt ask often so when she does i know she needs it
i like spending time with her and cant believe she's mine
already so poised and mature at 10

found what we need in record time. 3 stores in hour and a half.
she liked what we got and it was in price range
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!!
i was so proud that i was bragging to brian
kenna overheard me say
it was a great shopping trip . we found what we needed and it didn't take long at all.
kenna chimes in
yay i know. ( in her sweet preteen voice =sarcasm)
you wanted to shop longer? i questioned
YESS!!!!!!!
why didn't you say anything?
you didn't ask.

we are different creatures she and i
i'm pretty laid back,lazy, and not super girlie
she is a driven, hard-working,perfectionist who LOVES to shop
we have some similarities- sports, humor, last name
but we are God's unique creations.
Hard a times but intriguing at others.
I LOVE HER!!!

You crack me up, with your similarities...sports, humor and last name! lol!!
That is a great picture of Kenna. She's so beautiful! I can't believe she's only 10! She's been taller than me for at least 2 years now! (of course that's not difficult) Was the picture taken at school for a special occasion?
I love Target! That used to be my favorite thing to do when Jade and Zack were little, because it was the only place they would behave. Now I can't take them anywhere because they fight and badger me for too many things!
