SHOPPING: BARGAINS AND BLUNDERS

Since I had this week off I thought it would be a good time to do some shopping. I have been needing a few things for a while but kept it putting off, mostly because I haven't had time, but also because I hate shopping. Yesterday I went shopping with my aunt, and it went pretty well. I needed to get winter boots but seemed to get everything but. I bought three pairs of socks, pajamas and a skirt, all for about 20 bucks. I was especially impressed with the skirt purchase, it was regular price $50, would you believe I got it for $2! That's 96% off!

This had been my second attempt at finding boots. I have been debating whether or not I should blog about my first attempt. For one thing I am embarassed about the difficulty I have finding footwear in my size. I have decided in favour of blogging, but only because I have a few friends who have been feeling down and I thought this story would cheer them up. I warn you the story you are about to read may be disturbing to some viewers. Not all audiences share the same sense of humor.

So I was looking for boots, but I didn't want those big bulky Sorel type boots. I wanted something a little more formal but not to dressy. I like the boots with zippers up the side, since I am usually running late in the morning I don't have time for laces. Well once I finally found some that were in my side I was really excited so I started to put them on. Now it's been a while since I have shaved my legs, with good reason I assure you, and I was only wearing ankle socks. It was very difficult to hide that fact while trying on the boots. Judging from the look on the girls face I did not do a very good job of keeping my legs covered. And I was at transit, and the people who work in stores like that are not the kind to take physical appearance lightly, I think she may have had nightmares that night. I should have taken more care in zipping the boots up because if I had I may not have gotten my leg hair caught in the zipper. I imagine that is what an epilatior feels like. Well there you have it, my shameful shopping experience. Please that I will be shaving my legs soon so that I can wear my new skirt.
