Shopaholics anonymous

Anyone know a family member who should be a member of shopaholics anonymous?

LilSis should be a card carrying member...for sure!

This girl can shop. She looks at something. Likes it. Picks it up. She doesn't stand there and hem and haw and contemplate if an item will go with 5 or 6 things in her wardrobe. She'll just throw it over her arm. Yes. She'll try it on to check if it looks "right" on her. She has learned what looks appropriate for her shape. But she's got lots and lots of articles of clothing. And it doesn't look like she's anywhere near stopping.

We (me, LilSis, the Princess, and my Mom) went to the mall today. I had to show them the fastest route to the mall. In the event they want to get out of the house. In the event they wanted to shop.

Oh Lord! I forgot that LilSis likes to shop. Didn't take me long to remember. It was amazing to watch her in action. It was like a hunter on the prowl of its prey. She'd find the cutest stuff in a stuffed and confused looking rack. It takes some skill to find a jewel in the rough. And that's what she did in every single store we went into. And she got at least one thing in every single store we went into. Truly amazing!
