Mallrats

Are we the only couple who likes to just walk around the mall? I guess we could have bought stuff we needed but that's no fun. So we wandered and window shopped. I did get a cool "Yoga Conditioning For Women" DVD and it came with a free music CD. I longingly eyed the "Pre-Natal Yoga" DVD too. And we played with the robotics kits and infra-red spy glasses. I love the Discovery Channel store. That's how I know Tom is the one for me. We have the best time just hanging out. We especially love running errands. Need more dog food? Count me in. Roam around Best Buy looking at dream items we can't afford? I'm there. Heck I'll even accompany him to the car wash. I love the suds and scrubby brushes on the windshield as we are propelled through. Do this mean I am easily amused? Does it mean we are intellectual midgets? No, just that if you are going to go about the business of life, you might as well enjoy it. I would make someone a great personal assistant/shopper.

The dumb part is that I will now be going back to the mall later this week to do actual shopping. New shoes, restock my makeup and buy fun Spring colored clothing. I dread putting on the earth toned sweaters and tops I so looked forward to last Fall.

I think that's perefectly normal and healthy!

It's great to just spend time together and enjoying each other without any expectations.

On our first date, we went to the mall. And had a great time. Now we do it to just because.

easily amused? maybe, but there's nothing wrong with that :)

When you went to school down here, did you ever shop the cosmetic dept and Dillard's St. Vincent Mall? I worked there for years in Lancome.

Have fun shopping!

We used to love just going to the mall to walk. Heck in high school going to the mall to hang out was the *in* thing, hehe Now it is a rare treat if we make it to the mall at least 2 times during the year. It is a bit hectic with all of us going:O)
