The Procastinator's Rule 1.1

When faced with a work deadline - go shopping.

Bereavement leave is in corporate policies for a reason! I shall be away from this Brown Building of Doom for five whole days. I busted my ass all day yesterday and most of today to get some of my work done. But the remaining seventeen case files I need to review are going to have to sit tight until I come back on Monday. This serves two purposes: make the Hag sweat a little by thinking it's not going to get done in time and, it frees up my time to go shoe shopping online.

Indoor volleyball starts next week. Due to my lame flat feet, I'm going to have to find a shoe that has built in arch support. Asics seems to be a popular favorite but I'd rather wait for my resident Nike connoisseur, Rupinder, to give me his recommendations.

The time to don the spandex is nearing. Must check out Lululemon's new shorts asap. But this makes me think of the other Canadian store that I absolutely have to set foot in everytime I am in VanCity. M.A.C. They have been teasing me for weeks that the holiday palettes should be coming out pretty soon.

So my next trip to Canada will mean stops at Metrotown for shoes, shorts, girly stuff, boots, sweaters and Asian groceries @ T&T. Damn it. Just like that, my shopping list has exploded into mushroom cloud proportions. And I'm not even thinking about Christmas yet!
