We took our trip to the mall today. Mom was in heaven again, spending money on new clothes, trying on new shoes, and sipping on a Jamba Juice. I don’t know why consumerism makes my skin crawl. But being there in the mall watching people spend hard earned money to keep up appearance, ugg. Brand new coach bags on sale! Only $350! What a steal, says the sales lady.

Alas, it’s not about me, mom had a blast trying on clothes at Dillard’s, Macy’s and a few boutiques along the way. We wandered for a couple hours through the clothing racks, then decided we were hungry and got a Hawaiian rice bowl at Rumbi Grill.

We talked about finishing her closet in her room, and I convinced her to go to a craft store so we could find her a new hobby. We decided on beads and jewelry making. With lots of cute compartment storage containers so if all that gets done is sorting and organizing beads, we have at least one hobby. I’m hopeful she can figure it out with a little prompting.
