me and my mom

all this shopping reminds me of all the crazy shopping my mom and i used to do. one time we woke up at like 5 am and drove in the freezing cold, pitch dark of the morning to go to a cosmetics (max factor?) sale in some far away place. all i remember is waking up groggy, climbing into the car (or was it a van?) groggy, and arriving at the factory in the dark :b it was so cold that morning that i think we stayed in the vehicle for a bit until the doors opened! :b

of course i was too young to wear makeup, so all i did was carry the shopping basket while my mom went bezerk :b i vaguely remember seeing a whole warehouse floor full of tables with boxes and containers of foundation, mascara, lipliners, mascara, etc etc.

so THATs how i became so nutty about shopping... yah its all my mom's fault! ;b
