shopping is my soul-barometer. if all is well, or at least if my attitude towards the world is right, then i am content to let things look lovely in the store. if i have stress, anger, anxiety, insecurity, then the wallet falls wide open and things sort of leap into the shopping cart. i fell in love, almost literally, with these pajamas from hanna andersson. alas, when they went on sale, they sold out in a couple of hours or so. i finally tracked some down, right here in dallas! and put the last pair on hold. i went to the mall today to pick them up. i do love them. i am glad i have them. but as far as the rest of the stores . . . malls can be horrible places. they can feel so trapping and smothering and awful. while it is a good sign that consumerism's siren call was failing today, i look back over the past couple of weeks and hang my head at my spend-thriftiness. BUT i found this great song and i think it might keep me going, at least for a little while . . .
