The Mary Phenomenon

Occasionally I have dreams that I am at the mall shopping and I have an unlimited budget and in every store I enter, everything fits me perfectly and is cute. Ahh...I love those dreams. Then I wake up and realize that no, I don't have unlimited funds, and no, not everything out there is going to be cute on me.

This evening I decided to go up to Laton Hills Mall since Chris was at work till 10pm. Even if I don't intend on buying anything, I do enjoy taking outfits to the dressing rooms to try them on, but tonight I went through a dozen stores and didn't find one single thing that made me want to go try it on. All the stuff that looked cute was way too expensive;I didn't try them on because I didn't want to fall in love with it and then be depressed when I would have to put it back on the rack.

So basically I have a testimony of what I like to call "The Mary Phenomenon." No matter where or when I go shopping, as long as I have Mary with me, I am guarenteed to find something that's cute and cheap. I don't understand why, but that's how it always is. It's very strange!
