Empty Handed

Nothing is more depressing than a day at the Mall with nothing to show for it. Today I went up to The Gateway to do some shopping. I also went up there so I could meet my sister at the Discovery Museum so our kids could run around and play. Sadly? A total wash! I was looking for something to wear at my cousin's wedding reception tonight, but couldn't find a thing - that usually happens when I go shopping with something in mind...I tend to only score great finds when I'm simply browsing. I still hadn't heard from my sister and after walking around The Gateway for about 1 1/2 hours, I decide to leave. I loaded up Cache in the car and as soon as we were pulling out of the parking lot, my sister calls. *sigh*. We agree to just meet up before the reception. No playing with cousins today!

I start the hour-long drive back home when I realize, "Hey! I could stop at University Mall and check some stores really quick!" So I stop there, walk around for an hour with Cache in tow. Did I find anything you ask? No sir, not a thing. It wouldn't have mattered if I did - I realized that when I got back to the car I had left my wallet on the front seat. Niiiiiice. So now I have to shower and get ready, find SOMETHING to wear that won't make me feel like a beached whale and head up to this reception. Ugh....
