The madness that is called Boxing day.

Now I don't know if you guys in the states have this, but basically this is when all the stuff in the stores go on sale (that they couldn't sell during Christmas). I am not too sure what the true purpose of Boxing day is, but in the retail end of things = sales.

My brother wanted to go to the malls and see what deals he could get. I bravely went into such an adventure.

We were suppose to get up at a decent hour so we can leave the house early and head to the 'good' mall which is about 45 minutes away......(in a town called Truro)

Somehow I managed to drag my turkey stuffed body out of bed at 9:30 am. Shocking I know.

We left the house at 11 am. As you can we are real shakers and movers, but I can not leave without coffee. I had to prepare myself for a battle of the century.

Stupidly we went to the big ol Wal-mart first, thinking its just Boxing day..... it cant be thaaaaat bad.

WRONG.

There was a cart jam up at the front doors. People were pushing and shoving, and carts were rammed into arses, little old grannies were shuffling, the decked out girl with ten pounds of floral bouquet perfume was prancing about, the little kids screaming and crying, creepy old guys checking you out, the couple who have EVERYTHING in their cart, snotty teenagers glaring, parents stomping about frustrated. It was a scene from a horror movie.

I didnt even know where to walk without bumping into somebody or being tackled. Every five seconds I was saying sorry because I kept running into people. AND half the time You have no idea what body part you ran into. (UNMMMM CREEPY!!??!?) *sanitizes hands for twenty minutes*

And all this for crummy sales?
Half the stuff was gone!

Underwear, only weird sizes left
Bras, big big sizes left ....(Like think umbrellas here)
Pants, ugly as sin (zippers and buttons and strings all over the material )
tops, picked over and again big big sizes left over

So What did we do?

Went to the Truro mall.

Luckily the mall was not as bad. I found a few things on sale (or this is what I am telling myself to feel better about spending money hahaha)


I tried my luck at La Senza ( a bra and underwear store for women) in hopes of getting some pretty but cheap bras and even *gasp* underwear.
LOL. RIGHT AS IF.

First of all they had a bad system to begin with. They put the bras that are on sale in this tiny itty stupid small bins. The bins might of been organized at one point but they weren't when I got there. There were A cups mixed in with E cups and everything else between.
Second the store is small and there were plenty of people there, girls with their boyfriends and some sketchy dude and little kids. What the hell?

Needless to say I was not impressed. But a bra for 8.50, I had to be determined at least root through the bins to find my size. WELL after rooting and digging like a retard for a while I came to the conclusion that ONLY big sizes were left. I guess my size is
a) popular and everyone else got to the bras first
b) everyone else happens to be a bigger cup than I.

So After that discouraging rummage I went to the underwear bins. I believe it was 5 panties for 25 dollars..... ANYWHO. Apparently my ass is getting bigger while my boobs are doing NOTHING. I have no idea what size I need now for panties. A small used to fit ...... Note the word used to. LOL.
So again I gave up in that department.
And left empty handed.



And guess what we did after that?

Went to the mall at New Glasgow (which is 25 minutes away from our house).

And after spending ... 15 dollars there we left. And went to STAPLES. OMG If I went to another store I think I would just sit there and cry.

Finally after a stop at the grocery store for crackers (random I know but mom wanted crackers for the cheese)
We finally made it back home.

I am MALLED OUT !!!!

I do not understand it but somehow walking around aimlessly in crowded places makes me very tired. And even more amazing was that buying things and carrying little bags around with you tires you out too. Its a strange thing this shopping, it requires endurance, strength, will, and determination to see through it.

I bid you all a better shopping adventure than I. Now I am going to sleep for ten hours.
