My sister and I spent the past week doing what sisters who haven’t seen one another for more than a year do… we shopped. We shopped for six days. We shopped for six hours a day for six days. On the seventh day we rested and talked about our shopping. As women everywhere will understand, this constitutes a good visit. Shopping with a close female friend or relative is not about commerce. It is not about the exchange of money for goods. If goods are found; if the goods found are great goods; if the great goods make us look younger, slimmer, richer, rounder, prettier, smarter, classier, funkier, friendlier; if the great goods that make us look younger, slimmer, richer, rounder, prettier, more intelligent, classier, funkier, friendlier are on sale, shopping is elevated from the pedestrian to the sublime. It is a symphony of endorphins, celebration and goodwill that sets the stage for the real business of shopping… the exchange of information.

Karen, your blog is coming along well although I would like to see more posts! You have a polished, witty and authentic voice and a niche in which you could do some interesting things. I really like your About section as well. See you tomorrow.
