My life in no way supports random trips to the shopping mall, so instead Ill look at my current shopping habits and needs: I need to get in and out of the store as quickly as I can, getting exactly what I need. Often I have two small kids in tow or Im trying to check ten things off a list during my lunch hour. Yeah right.
