Retail therapy is definitely the new buzz word amongst us suburban moms meaning go the mall without your kids and walk around looking at shoes and get a coffee at starbucks and drink the entire cup. For me it does not even have to involve purchasing anything.
So I went to an early acupuncture appt, which makes me feel rested and energized at the same time, it also puts me in a quiet contemplative state. Then I browsed Barnes and Nobles for 2 hours... that is so great... my idea of heaven. I went up and down the aisle and randomly browsed through books. I spent a long time reading cookbooks, funny I don't cook, but I love cookbooks. I got a coffee and easdropped on a women interviewing a young girl for a nanny job. The mom was doing all the talking , loudly , so I wonder how she will know anything about the nanny if she doesn't let her speak. I am so silent these days that I sometimes feel invisible.
Then I went to the mall and bought some new lingerie, always makes me feel better. and then I went jean shopping and didn't care that I tried on about a thousand pair and none of them fit. I was just enjoying my time, and knowing that in a few weeks I will not have the energy or the inclination to deal with the mall on a rainy Saturday. So, I ended my therapy with a beautiful cashmere sweater that I can't wait to wear...

Shortly after I read this post, I had a chance to visit the mall here. Having grown up in the city, I have only been to a mall a few times in my life, but I have always been intrigued by them. I was able to spend an hour browsing around, and I got a coffee, it was a pretty fun new experience.
