Retail Therapy Won't Mend A Broken Heart

That sounds like a spiffy title for a book, but that's what I learned today.

The morning started out sunny, woke up extra early, extra long shower to prepare for an out of the ordinary day.

Went to school only to go to 1st and 2nd period. I headed to Wilcox High School around 11 with Paula, Andre, Tammy, Danielle and Mr. Shelby for the Super Intendents Lunch meeting. Once we got there we were seated at the CHAMP's cafe, Wilcox hosts an amazing 3 years culinary course that made me wish I went there instead. I was served the veggie portobello mushroom burger which I couldn't enjoy since my braces were adjusted prior to the day of. The meeting ended and we had a chance to 'mingle' around. I met Ansel in the hallway, he told me there was a Key Club Meeting going on and both decided to head over. There I saw my Tammy Whammy Breezy F. Baby (middle school name though her real name's Stephanie) and my Joy Boy! Seeing two really good friends of mine made my day really, I was so happy I couldn't put my feelings into words now. Both gave me almost injurious bear hugs, which I thoroughly enjoyed.

Heading back to school Tammy read Post Secret book things in the car. She told us a good secret a guy had on the Post Secret Blogspot along the lines of 'I got the new iPhone but still no one calls me' and I guess it led to him posting his phone number saying "if anyone need to talk, just to say anything. call me." In one day the man had thousands of incoming calls.

That was all before 1 o'clock noon.

I got back to school and my mum excused me for the rest of the day and picked me up. I was to go Macy's for my job interview which was a grueling 3 hours. I ate dinner at the food court, never eat at Sbarro by the way. Horrible. When I was done, she took me to all the places I usually get things at and asked me if I wanted anything and she'll get it. She's really in the holiday mood because she herself spent a lot of money that day when I was doing my interview. Tomorrow she asked if I wanted to get my nails done but I promised the boys I would hang out with them. She's being unusually nice, probably since she's leaving to New York in couple of days. Anyways, I went to a lot of stores, saw a lot of things I liked but I didn't get anything. So we left Valley Fair and I thought we were going home but she took me to West Gate and said you're probably going to like something here. I ended up not buying anything once again. I bought probably a few Christmas gift for others, and last years holiday bad habit was if I got something for someone I had to get something for myself. I didn't know what was wrong with me. But today I told myself that retail therapy just doesn't cut it. Either that or you just have to be in a good mood to go shopping.
