Shoppers guide to the galaxy
Yesterday afternoon when the rest of the country was out having barbecue's, family reunions, and fireworks shows, I was at the Whitney Field Mall shopping for capris. What better way to spend the 4th of July then in an air conditioned store buying new clothes? There isn't one! My shopping experience went something like this.I started out at Walmart to get a few basic necessities like soap...and peanut butter cups. They have awesome store brand peanut butter cups. There was an amazingly attractive guy looking at the deodorant and he had the coolest eyes I've ever seen. Not that I was staring. I wasn't actually trying to follow him but every time i walked to another isle he just happened to be walking by too and it looked like I was stalking him. Ok, so maybe I was, but only a little and it was all good natured!
Anyway, from Walmart I headed over to the mall for some holiday weekend sales at Filenes. They had *tons* of capris there, all on sale anywhere from $12 to $17, which is a good price. I think I must have tried on about 30 pairs. My mom sat patiently in a chair by the waiting room to tell me how each pair looked. I was in heaven. Finally I narrowed it down to about 6 pairs. I only had enough money to buy two, so it was time for semi-finals. I eliminated 3, and then set aside one pair for sure. The competition now consisted of two L.e.i. beige capris. They were both a lot alike, with only minor differences in the pocket style and hem. SO naturally I had to hold finals. I tried on each pair again, modeled them for my mom, and then repeated the process. It was a touch decision but I think we made the right choice. The loser joined the mass of other rejected capris that were weighing down the return rack, and the winner came home with me. In fact I'm wearing them now, very trendy.
Little did we know that while we were in the mall our peanut butter cups were suffering an untimely demise. As we sat down in the car again I opened the bag and found them melted into a puddle. I tried to salvage some but all I ended up doing was getting it all over my hand and face and looking like a 5 year old, which can be fun, but is generally frowned upon.
After we got home we turned the TV to channel 4 and watched the Boston Pops concert at the Esplanade. I have decided that next year I am definately going to go to it. I'm planning a year in advance so there will be no confusion, and I'm really excited :D. I will take the T in the night before with however many people I can get to come along, and we will camp out by the Esplanade and get our places first thing in the morning. We're going to dress up too! I have also decided that sometime between now and then I must learn to swing dance. However, I need a partner...any volunteers?

Now what is wrong of anonymous comments? nothing. Absolutely nothing. I whish kate had made her comments as annonymous, then I would have been able to dream about them.
Nice blog so far. Technically it's more of a journal, but most blogs are now days
