The Desert

Welcome to Palm Springs! I've been here for two and a half days. And two of those days have been devoted to shopping. Day 1 brought my Ma and I to Cabazon. The Outlet Mall. I didn't go crazy. I bought the striped tank you will see pictured below. And two dresses, a blouse and a skirt from Banana Republic. Re-reading this, I have come to the realization that perhaps that haul is crazy for some most people. Not me though. This was me practicing extreme restraint. I have to pace myself, you see. I have 3 more days here. Two of which will be more shopping days. One (tomorrow) will be a spa day. Tough life. I know.

Two things. #1: How could I not? #2: I spy with my little eye something small, fast and blurry.

Today's shopping excursion took us to Target, DSW and Stein Mart. I was hugely excessive successful at each stop. Target made me buy 2 blouses, a teal and black snake print body con skirt (sounds much more hideous than it actually is) and.......oh no! This is BAD. I can't remember the fourth item. Let's not read too much into this, ok? Next stop was DSW. Where three pairs of shoes just had to come home with me. It would have been cruel to separate them. Last stop Stein Mart. Which did not disappoint either. A very cool jackety sort of thing called out to me from the clearance rack. And when sale items speak to me, I simply can not ignore them.

Tomorrow will be a day at the pool and spa to recoup. We need our energy for the last two days of shopping.
