I believe I suffer from a very strange disease rarely seen in women: an extreme aversion to shopping. I can’t stand it. I dislike it so much that I’ll do anything in my power to avoid it. I'm not kidding, it puts me in the worst mood. It's unreal.

I guess that explains why I walk around in sweats and sneakers all day long. It's easy, it's comfy and best of all, I don't have to waste my time thinking about it. To me, it's a no brainer. I personally don’t see anything wrong with it. But it drives my mom and my sister absolutely crazy. They both have a lifetime membership to the "retail therapy club" and if it wasn't for the fact that we all look exactly alike, they would probably wonder where the heck I came from.

Here's the thing though. I have a teeny tiny problem that has been driving me crazy for days now: in about 5 weeks, I’ll be on my way to Spain to see my family and attend a very fancy wedding. Amazing, I know. Except... No sweats allowed there. Which means, I see (a lot) of shopping in my future... which means, you can expect a lot of venting in the next few postings. So be ready for it.

Unless… I can find someone to be my personal shopper in the next few days. Any takers?? Anyone??? Please???

Ok, I’ll give you some time to think about it. In the meantime, let’s get back to what we're here for, shall we???

Exasperatedly yours,

Ruth
