So hitting the half way mark of our trip, DMM is starting to
show signs of not making it. The alarm
is going off right on time in the mornings, but she is not wanting to budge at
ALL. Keeping that in mind, I let her
sleep a little longer than anticipated today to save myself some grief over the
shoes that were now rubbing her toes and heels raw. Did it make an iota of difference? Nup. It is still our main topic of
conversation. All day.
Breakfast was a leisurely affair at Macca’s while we
organised a taxi to take us to Walmart and then Michaels ( a mega craft store
). And DMM hit the ground running at
Walmart, taking on the makeup aisle with a basket and a glint in her eye. Then she remembered she wanted Hersheys
spread ( like Nutella – only Hersheys ) so we wandered all over the place,
buying candy in quantities we’d never seen before and makeup, and hair stuff
and sugar cookies…. Ahhhhh…. Sugar cookies… we don’t have anything…
ANYthing like them at home. With
newly purchased CHEAP AS CHIPS makeup and other wonders ( which boggles the
mind, because she got a heap from ‘the afore mentioned goodie bag’ but anyhoo…)
we then made our way to Michaels and required a trolly to put all our walmart
stuff in so we could do the same again.
I didn’t buy nearly as much stuff as I anticipated I would… even having
an hour and a half before our pickup was due to return, I was rushing all over
the place and chose larger items that are usually out of my price range at home
and was happy with the couple of things I bought.
Back at the room, we decided to take a couple of hours to
rest and relax and then headed over to the park again to catch the shuttle to
the Outlet mall. With a strict budget
imposed on DMM ( thanks to transferred money still not appearing in our card
balance) we wandered around till nearly 10pm ( the usual closing time) and with
shopping bags of designer boots each, sketchers at a fraction of the price, a
foray into Hot Topic ( for the hipster in the group) and a few other bits and
bobs to round out the spending ‘spree’ .
It was a fun, if not exhausting day, and its probably a good
thing that the transfer had not gone through yet, or there is no doubt we’d
have spent a WHOLE lot more in all these designer outlets.
It was still a very late night once we’d fallen into bed
with the plan being to be up and going early to visit Disneyland for the last
time this trip. That was the plan anyway…
Oooh - leaving us on a cliffhanger Lisa? Not fair!
