What does one do when one is stuck in a small town for the holidays, with a father at work and a sister on work experience?
Why, she bows down at the Great Altar of Mammon, and goes shopping with her mother.
The expedition yielded unto me-
A pair of blue pants with a mermaid embroidered on the right leg
A purple top (with some sort of embroidery on it, I'm sure)
A long sleeved T-shirt in brown and blue bearing a picture of a squirrel and the slogan 'Nutter'
A black lace top
A pair of black and white striped socks
A red handbag
A copy of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass by Lewis Carrol
And, most importantly...
A brand spankin-new pair of Doc Martens!
Hooray! *Does happydance of New Docs. Starts wincing when the tough leather starts biting into left heel*
I adore my mother with the fiery burning passion of one hundred thousand suns. (And I don't mind the good people at Mastercard right now, either).
