Little kids made me feel old :P

life made me feel old. kids dont.

Back from the store....

Or should I say "stores."

The only reason I went to Coral Ridge was so I could use my Kohl's gift card I got for Christmas.

Well, I didn't get to buy anything from Kohl's.

We went to the mall, first.

Because my sister was needing to exchange some stuff at Rue 21 since my parents got her the wrong sizes.

Well, my sister didn't want to exchange them, so she had them refund the money and then she got a whole bunch more stuff because of sales and coupons.

It was 8-ish at this point. Mall closed at 9, Kohl's at 10.

Cat said "I don't want to be here long" but I didn't believe her.

So I went to Barnes and Noble.

I only spent $17 and was only there for maybe 20 minutes, because I really don't have much money atm.

I mean, that was more money than I should have spent, really.

But I didn't want to stay in that small store with Cat and Mom and watch her try on clothes....

Clothes shopping stresses me out. It really does.

So I went to B&N, got a couple of books...

Well, 3, actually. Two of them were only 5 bucks because they were on the clearance shelf.

Again, I would've gotten more, but I didn't have the money.

Then I walked back to Rue, and Cat was still trying stuff on...

So it's about 8:50, and my mom goes "Oh, crap, it's Gabby's birthday, we need to get her a gift! Meesha, can you run over to Claire's and get her a hat?"

I'm like... Okay. I just walked all the way across the mall, spent money I really didn't have, walked all the way back, and I don't even want to be here, and now I'm your errand girl?

Btw, Gabby's a family friend. She loves those hats that look like animals that cover your ears and have the dangly string things on the sides, ya know?

 

She recently got a homemade hat sorta like this one added to her collection:

 

It was knitted and hand-stuffed and is fuzzier and the flaps are more like rope than the flaps in the picture.

Anyway, so Claire's was just a few stores down, so my mom gave me her card and I went over there.
