I woke up bright on early on another summer day, thanks once again, to Alice. She had no concept of sleeping in unfortunately, but at least it meant I actually did something with my summer.

I got up and grabbed a convertible bra, some panties, and a normal outfit of a t-shirt and jeans, then quickly got in the shower. I knew the bra would come in handy trying on all kinds of clothes because it's harder to assess the look of a strapless or halter shirt with your straps hanging out.

Alice came and picked me up in her yellow Honda S2000. It was as outlandish and cute as her. It was only two seats, so I hoped that would deter her from going overboard while shopping, although usually it didn't. She was wearing a flowing, white, spaghetti-strapped top with some dark, denim skinny jeans and sparkling, black flats.

When we got to the mall, we went straight to Robb & Stucky. Alice quickly went over to the Laura Kirar collection and looked for things to put in the house we would be living in with Emmett.. She found a nice-looking, gray couch and a cute, black coffee table, with black and gray, speckled marble on top. She also found the perfect bedspread for her. It was gold with a silvery, flower design all-over with matching all-gold and all-silver pillows to adorn it with. The total came to a mere $8,000.00 for her, which was almost nothing considering both of her parents were accomplished anesthesiologists.

Since I refused to let her pick my bed spread there, we went over to the Bed, Bath, and Beyond next door. I found the perfect crimson bedspread with a reversible side of medium-sized hot pink hearts on a crimson background to add a touch of flavor to the plain bedspread when I actually made my bed or to tone it down should I reverse it. It was perfect and it came with matching pillow cases that could be flip-flopped, as well. I immediately, grabbed the last set for queen size and put it in our cart.

We ended up finding a cheap mini-fridge as well as many cute lamps to adorn the room in. Next it was on to an Office Depot for desks and accessories. We found a great desk for a great deal and then gathered up all school supplies we may need as well as a couple cooling pads for our laptops. I got some new sketch-pads, a Tablet for making images send directly to my laptop, new colored pencils, and plenty of pens, pencils, hi-lighters, and notebooks. Once we finished there, it was finally time for the dreaded clothing part of the shopping trip. First stop, Express.
