Chi Town

So I made the trek back to the burbs of Chicago, The greatest city in the world, to see the family this year for Thanksgiving. I don't think I could ever take spending a religious holiday with them so Thanksgiving works out well. The point of this post was not to tell you about my family because I would be writing a book. I went out with my mother and my sister the day after Thanksgiving to go shopping early in the morning. I thought this could be fun. It will be like when I was a teen and my mom and I went shopping...my mom used to be a really fun person to shop with. If there was one thing that she was good at it was finding great clothes for me, but that ability apparently has disappeared. We went to Toys R Sucks first and bought a bunch of stupid toys for my nephew which are neither cool or educational. I feel that toys should fall under one of the two categories in order to buy them. Then we went to Kohls and then the mall. Every place that we went the obsession was my nephew and stupid shit for him. Now I like him and all ,so far, but this was kinda pissing me off. I want stuff! I finally talked my mom into a shirt from limited because she could get one for each of my sisters too. That was the extent of new additions to my wardrobe. This blows! My mom is no longer a good shopper, and if my nephew doesn't stop moving in on my territory I think he will have to move over to the shit list. I was surprised that everyone that was shopping was very civil to each other. You always hear the stories of people getting mad at each other, fighting for the last toy and duking it out right there on the sales floor. That is what I really wanted to see. I wanted some reward for getting out at 5am in the morning to go shopping especially when I went to be at 2am. Again I was denied.
