Its also a long weekend!  So after work I ran a few errands and decided to go shopping just for the hell of it.  I was really shopping for a new duvet cover *or* flat sheets that were in a color I liked, I of course found neither of them.  Did get some good buys though!  I bought a really warm fuzzy blanket since my cat laid claim to my \”spare\” blanket for when I have guests over.  Also bought myself a new hand mixer since I lost the beaters to mine and it was actually cheaper to buy a new one then replacements!  Then I thought well I need new socks, I tear through socks like no ones business because I\’m on a my feet a lot.  I have cute ones but they\’re made out of acrylic and don\’t breath very well which leads to some epic foot stench on some occasions! So I was poking around the \”intimates\” section when I hit pay dirt! They had Hello kitty panties and I was SO happy! They\’re freaking adorable and I love them 🙂

Funny story about shopping today… I\’m very particular about how things in my home look and the walls of my bedroom are an unusual color. So I thought I found flat sheets that would be suitable to make a duvet cover out of. Its MUCH cheaper to buy 2, sew them together if you have the means of course and make your own as opposed to buying one. I like things that are plain. Anyway I thought I found what I wanted and of course if I make a new duvet cover then I need new pillowcases too lol. My duvet is currently in its natural state but its high maintenance to keep it white all the time and I don\’t bleach it because for one thing it breaks down the fibers and if you ever bleach your whites and notice odd little yellow spots, what most people refer to as \”pit stains\” those are actually protein deposits and its bleach that makes them yellow. So when I wash my duvet I soak it in vinegar, baking soda and a little bit of lemon juice with some water overnight in my tub and then I wash it. Keeps it nice and white that way but it IS a pain to do that all the time so I thought a duvet cover would at least help.

Anyway I noticed someone was \”following\” me. This guy hung out in the same aisles that I did which was mostly bedding because I was trying to find single sheets and not a full set and this store is HORRIFICALLY set up! So I\’m hemming and hawing, debating on this that and the other thing, running back and forth to the price check thing because some of those sheets are SUPER expensive! Anyway I had this stalker and then it dawned on me that it was an undercover \”mall cop\” and let me tell you he was doing a bad job! So I started at the opposite end of the same aisle, then I would grab a bunch of stuff, leave and then move to aisles down and leave it somewhere else. Wait for him to see me empty handed and then grab something else and I kept doing this just for fun. I DO feel bad for whomever is stuck sorting out the shelves later but hey, at least its all in the same dept.!

So I did some miscellaneous browsing and seen the mixer on sale grabbed that, headed of the cleaning aisle and sure enough there was what\’s-his-name. So then I went back to the bedding section to grab said blanket and then left in search of socks, got distracted by shoes because I need a killer pair of heels for a photo shoot and couldn\’t find any that would fit my feet that I liked. My feet are tiny but FAR from dainty! I wish shoe designers would keep that in mind, not everyone\’s foot is like 3\” wide. Anyway all the while there\’s this guy hanging around in the background. That is until I hit the underwear dept and I think everyone must have thought I was nuts because I was like a fat kid on cake when I seen that they FINALLY have HK underwear in Canada that\’s actually made by Sanrino and isn\’t stupid expensive ($5.97/pair in case your wondering) then I headed off to the cash and out I went. Boy was he surprised when the senors/alarm didn\’t go off.
Yeah I\’ll admit that I\’m NOT a fashion plate, ESPECIALLY since I just go off of work, not a purse girl I prefer knapsacks because they\’re far more practical and easier to carry and I look slightly skidly but not THAT bad geez! In any case it amused me for a while 🙂 I was accustomed to getting followed around by security when I was married because Jeff looks SO stereotypical in the sense that he would scream shoplifter more then me lol. I hate to say it, but its true. With the ton of piercings, the visible tattoos, the Mohawk and the punk lifestyle most people assume that your a thief. John said to blame it on my tattoos but you can\’t see any of them when I\’m wearing jeans AND a jacket, they\’re all covered up. Whatever, some people just have REALLY narrow minds!
