Six Degrees of Shopping

Maren is walking all the way across the room!  Oh she is so precious!
She walks right to her brother!
We all sound like we're calling a puppy:  "Come here Maren! That's a good girl! Come here Maren!"
The look on her face is pure joy!
Maren is the type of toddler who will be a lot happier in her body when she can run and talk.
She just wants to be able to do what the big kids do.
Maren will NOT be getting a tattoo or riding off on the back of some dudes Harley when she is 16 just because the "big kids" are doing it, however.
We will have limits.
Yesterday I went into my favorite high end dress store. It was like 6 degrees of separation because JUST the day before a lady had purchased a dress to wear to Kim Kardashian's wedding!!!  I mean that is almost like I'm going myself!!!
Anyway, I was talking with the sales gal while I perused the racks and we both agreed the lady had bought the wrong dress. Yes, I just have THAT much fashion sense, don't I?
Never mind.
Anyway, and here's the best part, we kept talking and blah blah and my best comment was:  "You know I love Kim too, but you have to admit she's just a tiinnny bit trashy."
Now this is all fine and well, just an opinion mind you, but look, it came out of my mouth: the mouth with a HUGE cold sore right now.
If THAT isn't the trash calling the trash trash. Take your herpes and go shopping somewhere else.
So I did. Right down the row to this GORGEOUS baby store where I found the most heavenly dress for Maren. I mean it WAS PERFECT. Perfect for I am not sure what, but PERFECT.
Retail Price:  $95.00
What in THE hell? (As my mother would say.)
$95.00 for a baby's dress?
Have you lost your mind?
I buy almost all of Maren's clothes second hand.  And I fell in love with a $95.00 dress.
Then it came to me:  what if I just waited in the store until someone bought the next size up. Then I followed this person out to their car and said:  "Hi, I noticed you bought that darling dress I just love love love. Would you mind telling me your address and when you plan to have a garage sale to sell it?  Here's my phone number too. Let's keep in touch!"
There would be nothing wrong with that!  I am sure people who purchase $95.00 items for their daughters re-sell them at bargain prices. I bet their housekeepers LIVE for the yearly garage sale!
Well no one else came into the store and I started to get hungry so I had to scrap the idea, but I am thinking about going back......
Okay Will is back and the coffee is done.
It's round 2 of painting.
I am going to say a quick prayer that it goes as well, and we are off!
