Ughh I hate shopping..

Went with my mom today shopping in Amarillo. I needed to finish buying school clothes and school supplies for Zakk. Also had to finish up his birthday shopping. But geez I hate it. After bout 2 stores I'm ready to call it quits and head home. I can't stand the long lines at checkout, nor the folks who can't control their shopping carts. Yea it does hurt when you bump me in the back of the ankle with your cart.

Thank goodness for the internet, or I'd be a real scrooge at Christmas time.

I am with the rest of you, I would rather mow my lawn than shop and I detest that job as well.

My little girl starts school in September, she needs her school uniform, a P.E Kit, a Book Bag, a purse for her dinner money and/or a Packed Lunch Box. Thats it!

You can get anything under the sun at Amazon, and you don't even have to get dressed! :-6

I hate Wal-Mart too! I always seem to end up there on the 15th of the month and it is over run with morons! Oh, never try to get in there on Saturday either! Around here it's like the redneck social club! They all come to "town" and meet up at the Wal-Mart.

I'm going to worry a little about sending my daughter to school looking like a dork, I can't wait till she's old enough to tell me what's cool....
