Holiday mood

So we just had an overnight weekend trip to Johore for a short shopping spree.  The children had the car so we joined them for the drive and although it was an impromptu decision, it turned out to be a very enjoyable time with Jared and Gwen.  

We found a nice hotel near to the shopping belt of town and it was a marathon walk from one mall to the other.  

Isn't it funny how we don't feel the tiredness as long as we are on the move?  It's only when we stop that we feel the ache in our bones!

But this is just the prelude to more shopping as Christmas gets near and also as we prepare to visit one of the biggest shopping malls in Asia.

We're definitely in the happy holiday mood already. 

Buy and buy

I used to be an avid shopper.  My wardrobe was a good testimony of this.  Too many shoes, bags and clothes were common and never did I feel it was enough.

Maybe I was a working woman and so I justified all my purchases.  This made for mindless buying of things that I had sometimes used only once and never more.

How and when did I evolve into buying less and less? I can't really pinpoint a time but certainly it is because I am now a homemaker.  This must be the main reason that steered me out of senseless spending.  

At least I can say, "been there, done that" when it comes to shopping without a care in the world.  

Do I miss it?  Nawwwwwwwwww. Not a bit.

Now I have the time to choose well and because of this, I buy less as well.  It works for me.
