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.

It's just as funny in print as it is hearing it in person. But remember, you really impressed Dempsie. Glad to know you got home safely.
