A new record

Whoa. 9 hours of shopping... a new record. o.O

No, I haven't killed anyone, neither have I been killed... Although both my dad and I had books with us, so... We were able to pass the time productively. Although seriously... 9 hours!!! Holy coconut!

I also had lots of new clothes lined up for me, which was really, and I mean it, really pleasant, because I finally got the skirt of my dreams, although in a different colour. Well, who cares. It suits me just fine.

So... what did we buy? I shall write a "short" list.

• Bead supplies. (I got into the whole mess because I begged my dad to drive me by car to this faraway shop, because I didn't feel like wasting 5 hours of my life just getting there and back...) So when the shop assistant told me they'll be raising their prices in a week, my mom told me to buiy everything I wanted, NOW. She also bought a load of beads, which I will have to work into art for her. *sigh* It's not really amusing using the old patterns and colours I dislike. Oh well.
  I also got some much needed beading thread in colours, and some gunmetal grey, matte bugle beads. Never tried those, so I think I'll have fun with them next week.
  
  
• My dream taffeta skirt, long and bell shaped, silver (although I always wanted a taffeta skirt in a deep green, but oh well) and the "frills" at the bottom sewn with silver thread in flowery and vine patterns. It's beautiful, really. I was so in love with it I couldn't leave it behind, not like I wanted to, mind. ^^
  
  
• Jeans. In a faded grayish blue. I was into the gray ones and the faded teal-green ones, but they only had much bigger and much smaller. *sniffle* So blue jeans it is. Not like I'm complaining or anything.
  
  
• A deep green skirt with lots of layers of some see-through material, every upper one shorter than the last. The longest layer reaches beyond my ankles. Good. It also looks good on me, although knee-high fuzzy blue socks are a no. Well, I didn't dress up for trying on fancy clothes, I dressed up for friggin cold and jeans and boots. Course the shop assistant had to make fun of me, but once I told her if she minds my presence, I could go, somewhere else. She decided to smile instead and stopped talking. Good.
  
  
• A new umbrella. Mint green. Works fine, was cheap.
  
  
• New case for glasses made of wood, covered in silk with oriental flower patterns. Also green and pretty.
  
  
• A small lipstick holder box thingy, with a mirror. Also green, with floral patterns. (Leaves, mostly.)
  
  I think I'm developing my own pattern here, don't you agree?
  
  
• Random knicknacks, new shoelaces for my boots, a picture frame...
  
  All right, I admit it, there was a sale and everything went for the same price, so I got the umbrella for the same price as the lipstick box with the mirror and all the other stuff. I also bought some earrings, some I will give away. Will keep the spirals. I am crazy about the spirals.

Well, that's about it, folks. And so far I survived, although now I need to kick the cat out. No, not animal torture, I'd only prefer if he went home and not begged for food from the neighbours (us). The little bugger...
