you could say it's a love/hate

I hate shopping with my mother. she always has to look at everything. like even if it's something complete unneeded at our household. she says, "you shop like a man," which I am proud of. I know what I want in advance, I go in and find what I need, purchase it, then leave. I don't gawk or see what's on sale or 'peek' into a new store to see what they have. that's just ridiculous and a waste of time.

I love shopping with my mother. she has a credit card, and can drive me there. thereby saving me moolah two-fold. she is also convince-able, and if I want something (and have a reasonable need for it) I can get her to give in. tonight I got her to purchase me a lovely new dark blue button up shirt. she seems to enjoy buying things for me, even when I complain about how long she takes to look at stuff. maybe I can take her to college, but just for shopping.

you are funny. some women shop like men...i do not believe it is just a man thing! but maybe it is, chemistry, hormones, blah blah blah, the way we think, blah blah. and when you are in college, you have SUCH a good excuse for your parents to buy you things when they come into town.
