I know from friends that shopping with their mums is not always the greatest. There are mums who are overbearing in their adult daughter's fashion choices. There are mums who really don't like shopping, so the entire excursion can only last a maximum of 15 minutes before said mum starts to meltdown. They start having the sweats because of the mall crowds, line-ups, and general rudeness of other patrons.
There are also the mums who like shopping too much, and can spend 2-3 hours in one tiny shop trying on everything. Then there was my mum and she was the "just right" shopping buddy. I was Goldilocks and my Mama Bear's Shopping style was perfect. We shopped a lot and that's not to say we spent a lot of money, we just enjoyed looking at things and talking about clothes, fashion and home decor. I could always count on her to head out with me on a whim at any time of the day, as long as she wasn't working.
I start a week's vacation tomorrow and I'm really missing my shopping buddy. My vacation will be at home as I don't have any plans for travel, and I also have an MRI scheduled for this coming week. My two best friends live on the East and West coast of Canada respectively so they can't go shopping with me; and actually neither one of them really enjoys shopping like I do.
I'll go to a couple outlet malls nearby on my vacation. I'll peruse and wander alone for a couple afternoons. I will think of my perfect shopping buddy every time I try something on or come across some fabulous item. It's been 2 years 7 months and 2 days and I still want my shopping buddy back.

The Bachelorette
Who knew that watching the Bachelorette would spark something worthy to write here. One of the guys, Chris, lost his mom, and there is a scene that I just watched where he needs to take Ali on a moped and he is super nervous and cautious. Ali then "tells the camera" how she can imagine that how losing someone can affect how you live your life...as we well know sweets it does. So just needed to share that...
