shopping marathon

i've never shopped as much as i have in this past week. everyday it seems, we're at some department store or clothes shop buying this or that. i'm "along for the ride" and exhausted by the end of the day. i guess that's what happens when you put 4 generations of women in a family together. they get together and shop. either for clothes, presents, souvenirs or what not. it's been exhausting even for me...and i'm usually pretty patient with shopping.
