Mall Rat

I admit it. I’ve been acting strange lately, that’s bad when I admit it. Maybe I’m just evolving.

 

Saturday I went to the Galleria, voluntarily. We go about once every two years, usually involving out of town guests. Or that Christmas when Nicholas turned three and I was hell-bent on showing him the Christmas Lights. We spent three hours looking for a parking space and Bobby growled at me dirty looks for a week. Another treasured family memory gone horribly wrong. Surprisingly Saturday, Bobby tagged along without too much opposition, although I think he thought he’d be rewarded for his good behavior  at the pipe store… Sadly it was no longer there. I was choked up about that to. Did you know people stare at you when you do a happy dance on the 3rd floor of the Galleria… No sense of humor.

 

So we go on this day trip for two reasons. One, it’s too hot to do anything else. And Two, I wanted a new look. I have some stuff coming up I wanna look less-ugly for. I almost said “look hot for” but I’m not completely delusional. Bobby is just excited I might actually wear something other than shorts and T-shirts.

 

Part of me knew I ought to go to my mall instead of driving downtown. But I thought the Galleria would inspire me to… to… I’m not sure now. The Galleria, what a strange place. It takes me about a year to forget how much I truly dislike it. It’s crowded. Overpriced. And crowded.

 

I guess we had fun looking window shopping. Although both Bobby and Nicholas groaned every time I threatened to buy them clothes. They both rather have toys. We did have lunch at chic-fill-la… It was much tastier then the one at “my” mall… Ok, Maybe not but ya know.

 

The irony to my story is Sunday I went to my mall. The one that is 2 miles away from my house… I put like five outfits on hold equaling the price of one shirt I liked at the Galleria. Yes, another Saturday well spent. Bobby’s praying for cooler weather. I become this insane mall rat only when temperatures are above 95 degrees.
