Inklings had some derogatory things to say about my MALL tolerance. She said it was 15 minutes---well actually it is a lot less than that but---I hung in there Saturday while our grandkids were with their parents for an overnight visit for over 3 hours in one mall and 2 hours in another one. We went back to one store three times to look at the same thing---if it were me I would have bought it the first time---but no we still don't have it bought and Inklings gets to have stress over not having it taken care of---OH YEAH I FORGOT TO TELL YOU IT WASN'T AN EXACTLY PERFECT MATCH FOR WHAT SHE HAD IN MIND.
Well the Mall experience wasn't so bad it was the trip both up and back that was bad. We were in a super storm on the way up and at one time all traffic was stopped and we were sliding down the interstate. Inklings said "You're sliding" as we slid toward the back of a huge semi at about three miles per hour. I said "YUP--what would you like me to do about it?" Luckily about then one of the tires hit a small patch of exposed asphalt and we came to a stop just a few feet short of the semi. I was sure glad that I kept my following distance stretched out because of the snow---at a normal distance we'd have hit the truck. Going home was nearly as bad as the snow had been packed to ice and was very slick. There just wasn't as much traffic to contend with.

Glad ya'll got home okay. I thought it was funny about what you said about her not getting something because it wasn't a perfect match, because I'm the same way! :0) I do try to fight it though...sometimes.
I needed some mall in my life. Not sure I got a big enough dose yet, though.
HMMMMM?
maybe it's a genetic thing - my ex used to say I shopped in circles because oftentimes I would return to something I had looked at already to see if I wanted to really get it or not! :)
Which is why I prefer to shop ALONE. Michelle has a pretty high tolerance for me, though. lol :)
I don't mind shopping with people that like to be there. But I hate shopping if I am broke, I only do it if I need something. I am glad you guys made it home ok.
