    Sunday Shopping

     

    Sunday Morning... Woke-up with a hangover-ish feeling.

    Hungover because I was partying till 11:00 and I was drunk! Drunk because, I had Whiskey. I had  Whiskey because, I was coughing (that lingering annoying dry cough) and my friend told me alcohol would help(with the cough, of course). So, I went ahead had whiskey -  one teaspoonful! I am not kidding.

    "They" say, to cure a "spoonful-of-whiskey-hangover", you have to go go shopping.  I take seriously whatever "they" say.

    So, I planned to go shopping.  I just wanted one thing -  I was desperate for a new pair of jeans.  I will buy the jeans and while I am at the shop, I will look for a few summer dresses  - I won't buy them,  just look and try a couple(we all know how that will end). And since, I might have these new summer dresses, I would definitely need a few accessories to go with them. May be I will "look" at matching shoes for the dresses. May be, just maybe,   the store will have winter clearance sale. Imagine the tons of money I would save next year if  I buy my next year's winter stuff this year. I am so good with money (I did pat myself on the back).

    And when I go shopping, we go shopping. My husband insists that he comes with me when I go shopping. He says that he loves being with me and can give me valuable inputs. He does not know that I know the real reason behind him insisting on accompanying me on these shopping trips -  to keep me under control. Like that has "controlled" me so far! And poor Sonshine has no other option than to come with us.

    I had to get the dinner ready, before we went shopping.    Once we are done buying that  one jeans that I had to buy, I knew I would have 3 hungry souls to feed. I had some leftover rice and couple of stir frys, so I was not worried. The only thing I had to get done was a gravy dish. And I had about 30 minutes to get dinner ready, get myself ready and get out of the house.  I got the dinner ready in 20 minutes and my self ready in the next 5 (I can get ready really fast - when I have to go shopping). We even had 5 minutes to spare, so we took pictures of tomato curry. And then we went shopping. 

     

    When we reached the store, they were closed. CLOSED!!!!!

    I am still hungover!
