See the hill, take the hill shopper...

For years now I've been mostly (okay, there are some occasions that I dawdle, but really, not so much anymore) the type of woman that goes into a store on a mission. I pretty much either have eyeballed the item I'm looking for in the weekly ad or I have already seen the item and bee-line for it. RARELY do I say anything other than "No, thank you, I'm just browsing." That's even if I'm on a mission. To be honest, I think if I actually started on one of my explanations that takes you on a "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie" look into my life, the clerk would probably glaze over, pass out and I'd end up calling 911 (yes, I'd even do CPR).

Honestly, how much time do we have these days, anyway? I mean, if you are like me, all the people, getting in and out of the car (add heat for appropriate areas of the country) and search only to find NOTHING? Really? It's just not worth it.

Have I mentioned I started my own little piece of heaven? Yep, a 6x9ish space of all the fun little things I create and find and refurbish and grant a second chance. I've decided to start listing some of the stuff before I take it down to the shop. If anyone out there in my circle of friends (you know who you are, all 7 of you - and bless you for being my circle!) is interested in any of the items - PLEASE TELL ME! It would be one less thing I need to schlep down to my own little piece of heaven.

Why, you ask, did you title this posting "See the hill, take the hill shopper"? Because by posting my wares here, I am enabling you to TAKE NO PRISONERS! Go ahead! Shop in your jammies! Have bedhead and coffee breath? NO WORRIES! Your feet hurt and they've calloused in the back from wearing flip-flops too much, you are just too stinkin' tired to take the pumice stone to them along with pushing all the eyeliner that schmeered down to the bottom eyelid all the way back up to the right place and the thought of getting dressed just to go shop to be possibly disappointed is just too much to bear? Well, I have created a WARRIOR SHOPPER'S PARADISE! See the hill, take the hill, soldier! SHOP ON!

And that's... Whooops... Umpta! Ughhhhh! Ouch! Ooooph... just how I roll... down the hill. Didn't see that hill. :/
