Affirmation of my commitment to not shop for the next year...

I just made the mistake of attempting to shop at the mall before work.  Usually I walk in the door and take the first left into work and am completely oblivious of the rest of the scary establishment.   However, my kiddo needs socks.  Those I can/will not make.  At least not right now. 

I'm not usually very motivated to shop anytime ever, but I went ahead and walked past the safety zone of my work into the closest department store.  Half a mile and an escalator later, I have made my way through the literal ocean of stuff to the (of course) farthest corner of the store where they hide the kids area. 

Here's the thing ~  I don't understand how I can walk through fifty feet of pointless costume jewelry and another hundred of countless perfumes to get to a 3 foot section with about a dozen pairs of socks of the same size (too big even for her) and color (white). 

My brain hurts.  I walked back out, sat under the closest thing to a real sky I could find and spent the half hour I had left before work lost in my latest book.  Thank goodness for Audrey Niffenegger. 

As for my girl, thankfully she shares my affinity for a complete absence of footwear.  That gives me a few months to work up the nerve to attempt sock shopping again......ugh.

myfm is broken or something...
So this song has been stalking me for two days now. Every. Single. Time I turn on the radio - alarm comes on - this song comes on. Turn on the radio in the car it comes on - change stations - it comes on there too.  I was in and out of my car six times today and I heard it eleven times.  Doesn't stop there though.  Internet radio, at work, at the store, in a car passing by??  Seriously?  Honestly JT, it's an incredibly lovely song that is quite moving, it really is, I just don't know why you feel the need to engrain your sweet irrelevant words into my brain today.
