fashion sense

sometime on the weekend i tried to journey to some big shiny shops that i refer to as being in werribee but i think technically are probably in hoppers crossing (either way: they are about half way to melbourne). having been driven there once before i tried to find my own wayy this time (being a big sophisticated city girl). this was way harder than it sounds and involved many many cirquits around many many roundabouts (interlude: one of the particulary interesting moments of this journey came when a person in a car, one one of these roundabouts actually STOPPED. to a dead halt in order to let another car come on to the roundabout...). anyway i eventually made it to the land of many cash registers and had a totally fine time buying large amounts of kids clothes and the occasional piece of clobber for myself. on the way out i passed this 'everything for 5 dollars' jewellery shop and just had enough time to pick myself up a necklace. and today i know that it was worth the effort because step-daughter 1 (girl: 16) said "hey that's totally cool--and here comes the best bit--- can i borrow it??"

i rock.
