First Day of Break!

I woke up at 10:30 today, I felt fantastic! I cleaned up the house a little bit, ate a quick lunch and met up with my sister at Fairview to do some shopping and movie-watching. The point of the shopping to begin with was to find me a new pair of sunglasses, but we, I mean, I started checking bikinis instead hehehe....We went into H&M and there were a lot of nice looking ones that I wanted to try. There was this one particular one that was really cute, had like little flowers on them and everything, but it was a little high for me to reach. On the floor right underneath the racks was what it seemed to be a brown bench almost, there was no sign that told me I couldn't step on it or anything, so I did to reach it. What happened was that that brown bench was actually a bunch of drawers on wheels, and when I stepped on it, it flipped over, made a huge crash (the store went silent for a couple of seconds), and I made a complete ass of myself. I wanted to ask a store clerk or salesperson or someone to help me get it but my sister searched high and low and we really couldn't find anyone (the only thing to tell them apart is this little almost insignificant name tag/brooch thingy). It was after I made a loud crash that ONE store clerk came and was like "why does everyone keep stepping on these? Does it look like a bench?", I really wanted to belt out "YES YOU SOB!" but I didn't of course. Instead I said "well, you should've put up a sign saying 'do not step' or something", and she replies, "well, there was one (points to empty space), but the manager won't let me put signs on all the drawers". But really, what is there to deter (sp?) people FROM sitting on there? NOTHING! Ah well, I ended up scraping up my arm, neck and knees a little. It was fun though. Afterwards, we went to watch Mr. and Mrs. Smith which was a pretty hilarious and therefore GREAT movie. Before going into the theatre, Abby and I went to go buy some gummies and caramel corn at bulk barn, and I totally forgot to hide my bulk barn bag when we went in. The woman there gave me a ticket thingy and said I can claim my food after the movie's done. After we sat down in the theatre, Abby had a brilliant idea of claiming the food, saying to the woman that we're going to give it to our parents who are in the mall somewhere, and then stick the food back in her bag and back into the theatre. Miraculously, it worked! I had my gummies, they were quite satisfying =). We sat down in the theatre about 30 minutes early so we kindof observed everyone else who came in. There were four nerd-like chinese guys sitting in front of us and they wouldn't stop talking about porn really loudly. Example: "Yea, you know, porn is just so great! *high five*". There was this really annoying guy sitting behind us who kept reading everything on the screen really slowly and with an accent. I mean, he read out the trivia questions and all the little tidbit things that Rainbow Theatres have in their Powerpoint slideshow. Overall, today was a good day and an interesting start to my summer break. I got a little bummed that we ended up not having enough time to go swimming today, it would have been very relaxing.

oooo...I need to go shopping again soon. I have discovered that shopping can actually be fun and enjoyable, when it's for yourself of course =P.
