bummer; no starter, Beth 😦 I checked my blog and I had posted something very similar 18 months ago and almost all the regulars contributed 😦 will have to think up something new —
I enjoy the shopping excursion in a grocery store. Three or four times a year, I enjoy wandering through a thrift store (different ones each time). I run to a big box store once every 4 months and stock up on paper and cleaning products. And I am ALWAYS breaking down boxes from the way I enjoy shopping – Amazon delivery!
Always fun to be shopping with my wife – I always notice that in certain parts of the store, there’s always a couch with a bored husband playing with his phone while his wife shops for a dress!
I remember taking a seat in the mall back in the day while shopping ensued. I most often tried to position myself in front of a tv, so off to Electronics I went!
I used to love browsing any shops to tease my curiosity. Not so much now; I value my time too much to dive into those temples of handing out money. I‘ve found my favourite clothes shop, I have more of everything I can ever use, hang on the walls (I should have 20 more walls), I‘ve no longer a great need for plants or planters, pets are sadly no longer on the cards either (too much travel, not home enough, age), we feel like going out for a meal, so we do it. BUT having said all that, I just have a novel idea which I think I should present to HH: For our 25th wedding anniversary in March I could ask for a Trip to Ikea….. 🙂
Dale, HH does that, IF I can get him to come along (which is hardly ever the case). I find that particularly annoying when we‘re staying in an airbnb and we HAVE to shop for our food and stuff we can‘t get at home….
My two sisters love shopping – me, not so much.
