I took my niece to the mall today. I have not been to the mall to go shopping in years. I had convinced myself that I hated the mall. After today though, I realize that it is not as bad as I thought. My niece even found some pretty good deals, so I cant say that the prices are higher. Granted, the stores that my niece was shopping in, I could not currently wear the clothing, but I did like it. I guess that is telling me that it is time to lose this weight so I can be fashionable again. Again...HA! Like I have ever been fashionable. I like wearing what's comfortable and if that means sweat pants from 10 years ago then that's what I am wearing. No matter what I decide to wear though, I think I may actually venture back into the mall from time to time.
An even bigger plus that came from this shopping trip though and one that I will always cherish...I finally got to spend some time with my niece and get to know her a little bit. Seeing a person every few years really does not build a relationship. My niece is no longer the little girl that I was always around before moving away. She is now a very beautiful young woman with a lot going for her. Hopefully, I will soon be close enough to actually spend more time with her and the rest of my family. My niece leaves on Tuesday and I am not sure when I will get to see her again.
