Shopper in the making

While playing outside in the driveway, the preschooler got the mail hand delivered by the mailman and was very proud of it. We were browsing through it when she found a catalog from Coldwater Creek.She pushed aside the rest of the mail and began leafing through the pages. "Mamma, I am going to buy a dress for you, let's find a pretty one", she landed on a page and pointed to one with a big grin "Mamma, this is a very pretty dress, it is beautiful, it looks like a perfect dress, it's my favorite color also but the only problem is it's not my size. How about we buy it for you and then you keep it safely and give it to me when I grow up" Not a bad deal at all!
Bewildered as much I was by this young lady's shrewd move, I am so happy to have found a shopping buddy after 8 long years when I moved away from my mom. It has never been the same. I can't wait for those girly days that I will be spending with this lovely lady.

I don't know if my mind is on board yet but my heart is intricately immersed and its hurting. My well wishers must be so concerned by now that what adversity has befallen on me. You can rest but not me coz I am kicking myself in the you know what every time I remember the day before my birthday when my sweetheart hubby took me shopping. I was my usual self or not because I refused to spend money on yummy leather handbag at Banana Republic. I totally forgot about it until I saw one girl carrying it in Boston downtown, holy schmoly, why didn't I jump over it with all my, ahem!! And now I want it!! And ebay isn't helping much.
