Nope. Its scarfs. But that is presuming that you are eating said scones and not draping them about your neck.

Hola, everyone! I had a fun day today. I did around 5 hours of shopping! It was very successful, too! I got 3 pairs of shoes (sooooooooo cute!!!!), a wallet for MB (shhhhhhhhh, it's a secret... at least for a little bit), and some dresses. Actually, my mom bought the dresses, but still! They were for me and MB, so they count! Yay! So shopful!

I dont know how you do it. I can shop for maximum of an hour or two. And that is if I have multiple places to go, really. And thats like, feedstore, costco, tackshop, hardware store, and for clothes sopping, thats about 45 min max. I make a list of what I need, after all my clothes have holes to big to patch, then go get each item that suits my needs.

But I am curious, how do you do it? I mean, really, how do you shop for 5 hours and not fall dead from fatigue and still have the old bank account intact?

Because shopping is fun! But if I don't feel like shopping (rare occasion), then I can't shop for 5 hours. Actually, I don't really shop for 5 hours straight that often, because I have a life, meaning I have other things to do!
I'm limited on money (I'm only 13!) so I won't be spending too much. If I see a shirt, I might be like, "Oooh it's soooooo cute!" And then if I see it's expensive (usually meaning under $10 {preferably lots cheaper} for a shirt) then it's not so cute. Low priced stores *cough*Ross or TJ Maxx*cough* are so cool!

Sane, my pet, you're not process oriented. Goal orientation doesn't make for shopaholics.

Rian, No scarves for the scones, please. Mittens, at most.

Aaaah, so, I'm supposed to care about the process rather then the goal, when it comes to shopping. I get it. Not gonna be able to change, but at least now I get it!

Err...no it isn't. You pay large amounts of money to ensure the future of capitalists who pay you back with substandard, low-quality product and propaganda brainwashing you to tell you what else to buy. You don't believe me? Just listen to the loudspeakers at City Walk in Universal City.

I hate my computer. It has decided to not let me on the internet.

Hello peeps! Since I really don't feel like reading through the rest of the last cafe to see what I missed, I'm gonna ask y'all that.

Easy! Bring friends!

Then you try stuff on, and they try stuff on, and you take ages offering advice and trying different mixes of things.

The way you don't spend tons of money is you know what you're looking for . Not so much in terms of, "Okay, I want a ringer t-shirt with a white body and brown neck/armbands," but more in terms of, "I want something casual that would look good in the gym, or with some jeans, and preferably in a light color."

So then you look till you find just the right thing, and you buy that.

Then you WINDOW SHOP!

Let´s throw a little party, with this post, I´m an elven warrior! But I want to write something else too. Hmmm... Say, what do you actually know about Finland? I´m curious. And I suppose this might get funny if you started answering. Please do! And now I mean what you know now, not after Googling through some traveling etc. pages and reading books etc.

One of the most beautiful woman I ever met is from Finland. And a lovely person, too. It's cold. It's right next to the former Soviet Union. It produces (in addition to beautiful actresses) hardy, long lived, taciturn farmers. Finnish is heavy on vowels and inflected like flute music. The only word original to Finnish in the English language is sauna.

How'd I do?

Welcome to elven warrior.
