Shopping in Invader Territory.... again....
So the Familia is planning a trip into invader territory for some post US Thanksgiving shopping.
I was talking to the sis-in-law late lastnight regarding the trip.....
Sis in law: "I already have the stores planned out and my shopping list"
me: HUH?
Sis in law: "yes you can look up the stores in the site Primeoutlets.com"
me: WHOA slow down!
She is a type A personality - very organized and prepared.
I am not a type A. I really admire her for that!
I would have just gone there aimlessly wandering the strip mall not knowing where I was going or what I wanted. I thought this was going to be a leisurely trip to find some good deals.....
I'm thinking I could be wrong.
To Bring list:
Runners
Map of mall
Shopping list
Energy food / heck maybe even lunch
Raincoat
Napsack
Water for re-hydration
Walkie talkie
Cell phone
Mace
(this last one is because I dont like crowds and pushy ppl hehe - oh im joking of course! ....about the mace) .... I have very sharp elbows though.
So today I glanced over at the store list of the mall. My sister in law said she had only gone to 12 stores last time she went for the weekend. There are 170 stores all together!
Well I noticed something today on the website for the mall we are going to....
(Store lists)
Under Womens Apparel:
-Big Dog Sports wear
-Dress Barn Women Outlet
We dont have these stores in Canada. So exuse my ignorance. But from my perspective I was thinking :
What kinda names are those for womens clothes!?!
Seriously, makes a woman sound like she was ugly or belonged with the farm animals or something! Can you imagine? "Ya I got the perfect dress for you for Christmas I got it at the Big Dog Sportswear store, I saw it and just thought of you!"

It's so much easier to shop when you're a guy.
We know what we want, where it is, and how much it's gonna cost before we even leave the house. Real simple. And it leaves plenty of time and cash for lunch at Hooters afterwards.
True M+. Much simpler. But our wardrobe is not as boring as men's :)
Lmao i have been to the dress barn b4.... ur not missing much hehe or least the last i was there! But u do make a good point , were to ppl come up with these names? Must be a man LOL
Try not to think of it as "boring", but "traditional". Besides, we have "toys", that are way more cool than your wardrobe, to spend our money on.
BTW... Kel, why would any self-respecting guy want to come up with a name for a womens clothing store? And yet, these stores are making money... are guys spending their money there?
Wait! Don't answer that. These days, one never knows.
Becareful when you say "toys" lol
plus we gals can have the same gadget toys as you guys (my sis in law and brother are both gadget geeks) and no one will think anything of it so that is a weak argument ;)
ok kel ima scratch Dress Barn off my list... now I can choose from 169 stores ! :p
OMG did someone say "toys"...speaking of which grrrr I need new batteries ......lol....jj btw
:P
I wasn't really thinking of "gadgets" when I said "toys". Those are a given for anyone. I was thinking along the lines of "pimpin' their ride", a pick-up truck with all the accessories, a Harley Davidson Roadster, guns, knives, sports memorabilia, and many other such items that most women just roll their eyes at... except for that Harley thing.
GUNS KNIVES?
AS TOYS?!?!
good grief!!!!!!!!!
(mb its a toy to you guys in the states but ....JJ! hehe ok ok JJ Im not going to get political on this .... this is about singledom....I should stick to the topic)
So you mean "pimpin our ride" like, say,.... womens purses and shoes and jewelry and cars and fine china and other such items that men would roll their eyes at? .... hehe next argument... :)
whats that buzin r? JJ! This blog is not like that!! lol
I wear shoes, several different pairs. Each one designated to specific occassions.
I own fine china. Even guys like to entertain guests with a certain level of class.
Ya got me on the purse thing though.
Yes, here in the states weaponry is just as collectible as coins, stamps, or baseball cards. And I won't get political about it either.
BTW - I LOVE "A Christmas Story"! It's a true classic. I could probably recite the entire movie for you.
OMG i think this thing is stuck on autobuzz....lol....jj
