Cathy: Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Mom: Tell me! Tell me everything!! Cathy: I couldn't find anything and got so frustrated that I bought an overpriced sweatsuit just to rationalize all the time I wasted shopping! ...Then I bought two pairs of pants that are too small... ...Then I let a 19-year-old sales person with a pierced nose convince me I needed a sequined halter top... ...Then I HAD TO HAVE this t-shirt... This cologne... This purse... and then I succumbed to the footwear department!! Mom: Feel better? Cathy: Yes. Mom: Great. Go home and enjoy. Cathy: Ok. Mom: Of all our rituals, few are treasured as the mother-daughter shopping confessional.

Son of a gun. I went through a similar thing with my Dad and fishing poles. …huh! Not so weird after all.

It’s all good except the too small pants. She can stick a blazer over the sequined halter top.

Well, so much for restraint while shopping. Not that I’d expect any from our favorite Whack-a-Doodle … ha.
HI, MOM. Happy Sunday, “Cathy” Clan.

I rarely go shopping because it’s something that I really don’t enjoy doing to begin with, but when I do and I can’t find anything, I don’t mind leaving the store empty-handed. Sure, it’s frustrating to spend my time in a store somewhere and not be able to find anything I like, or that fits me properly. But why would I want to waste good money buying something that’s too large, too small, or not my style at all, just so that I don’t end up walking away with noth-ing to show for it? I’ve got much better things to spend my money on that will bring me a lot more pleasure (like cross stitching supplies), rather than wasting it on expensive shoes and clothes I never wanted in the first place, that ultimately won’t bring me any pleasure at all.

I find an interview with Cathy Guisewite from April 2019 on the Mom’s Don’t Have Time To Read Books podcast. Hopefully the link I posted works. https://open.spotify.com/episode/5sANFBuSsSaNNFee8sFxJO?si=0CtUHt9aQTelGNguwnhDUw
