Where shopping is a pleasure

It was wet and windy yesterday, so I "coerced" a friend into going to the mall for some inside recreation. Work has been busier than expected and I'm picking up extra hours because we're down one employee. Plus, the kids have managed to find my last good nerve and strip it down to nothing. Definitely cause for a major time-out for mom. It was fun browsing around, not looking for anything in particular, and catching up with each other. I really miss spending time with her.

She did manage to talk me into one purchase - these cool Doc*Marten shoes. Now, I never thought that Doc*Martens would be something I'd wear, but they're so comfy and cute! The name has always brought to mind boots and chunky shoes, so I was really surprised to see these in Dillards. I'm tempted to get them in brown, too. You can never have enough shoes, right?
