TOO MUCH SHOPPING I AM DEAD FOREVER. (Note: my standard for too much shopping is anything that takes more than half an hour. Or six hours if it's a bookstore)
The shirt and pants my aunt in California sent for my birthday were totally cute, but unfortunately two sizes too small, so my aunt took me to Macy's today to exchange them. Sadly, the store here didn't have the style she bought me, so I ended up buying two completely different shirts and a(nother) pair of regular jeans. The jeans are a nice fit though (and don't even need to be hemmed, which is a fucking miracle), and the tops are nice - a grey and white striped shirt with a fake camisole, and a brown t-shirt with flowers and a hood. There were a couple of skirts I really wanted, but the ones that were on sale for $12.00 didn't fit me and the one that fit me, lovely as it was, was $90. And, just, no. We're going to see if it goes on sale. And then she made me go to Sears so she could shop for pants for herself, which was boring beyond belief.
We picked my mom up at the apartment and my aunt dropped us off at Sunflower Market, and that was fairly awesome. I think we spent about an hour checking out all the neat lotions and soaps and oils and crazy hippie stuff they had there (they had an entire section just for Dr. Bronner's, it was amazing). We got the essential oils section all mucked up, and I demonstrated my amazing ability to knock something off the shelf every time I moved more than an inch, because I am the world's biggest klutz. I managed not to spend my money too stupidly, though, and walked out of there with orange essential oil, organic deodorant, vegetable glycerin(actually that was my mom's, but it's nice stuff), sunflower and lavender votive candles, and dark chocolate orange candies. And lemonade, they have great lemonade. I did not buy the expensive leave-in conditioner, the lotion I would probably be allergic to anyway, or the pretty soapstone oil burner.
One of the horses in the back pasture on the farm has a baby and it is pretty much the sweetest thing ever. I really wish I had brought my camera when we went out to visit them today, because she is so cute it hurts. But we did spend about half an hour out there feeding them and petting them, so that was neat.
