I haven’t been to the mall yet.  I haven’t done anything yet.. school’s almost over though.. then it’s my turn to brave all that crap.

My mom usually wants me to go with her, but she likes to browse while I’m like my Father when he was alive. I like getting in, getting out and having business taken care of. Why look when you really dont have the extra money to spend hmm? Just my point of view any way.  I’m not a major crowd person so I feel your pain on shopping at big places. Though sometimes looking is all ways nice when You just wana get out.
