I had a dream a few nights ago about my upcoming shopping weekend with Jerilee. In the dream, I was driving Jerilee’s car, and parked outside the mall. The second I stopped the car, she barrelled out of the car as though I had been taking her somewhere against her will. She booted towards the mall without explanation. Now, in real life, I would have called after her, and laughed my head off, and she likely would have laughed back at me. In the dream, however, I accepted that she was just really, really eager to go shopping. So I only then put the car in park, gathered my things, touched up my lipstick, and exited and locked the car. I made my way to the mall, walking at a leisurely pace. When I entered the mall, I looked around the entrance, I didn’t see her. So I texted her and asked where she was. Likely just in one of these shops nearby, but its a big mall, and I didn’t want to waste time ducking into all of these places that I probably wouldn’t normally shop at. Her response to my text was a quick “I’m at F21.”
I looked around for a mall map. Upon finding one, I learned that Forever21 was nowhere close to the entrance. My goodnatured dream self laughed, thinking how funny it was that she was so excited to get there. I made my way over to Forever21, which took quite a while, being that it was across the mall. And when I saw it, I had my first “gulp” moment. It was a three level store!!! Again, that was just in my dream, I promise. Its just one level for real. I didn’t see her immediately, so I texted again, saying something along the lines of “Oh my gosh, this store is huge! Where are you?” to which she replied “I’M IN F21!!”
Let’s specify that Jerilee is NOT that person, hahaha! But apparently in my dream, I was suuuper annoying to her. Probably because I wasn’t taking a hint. Because I proceeded to scour the store for her, looking on each floor over and over and over again until I FINALLY came upon her, going through the till. She was done shopping, and I hadn’t even started :/
So while this dream doesn’t seem especially positive, I’m completely thrilled to be leaving tomorrow at stupid o’clock to begin our shopping trip bright and early!! I’m pretty close to being all packed and ready. Its funny to look back on our trip last year. We both hardly packed a thing, we didn’t really do ourselves up or anything, and we speed shopped. All. Day. Long. This time around, I feel like it will be SO different! In the last year, we’ve both developed a love for makeup, so speaking for myself, my toiletries bag is actually fuller than my clothes bag! Also, we both have something of lists, so I think we’ll more so mosey through the mall, drinking Starbucks, and talking loudly, like usual. I’m not sure we always bring out the best in each other in that way, but we certainly have a ton of fun.
T-10 hours!!!!!
