out of touch with reality

In my little shopping frenzy yesterday, I was in a sports store (getting new running shoes).  I saw a cute little pink sports bra.  Now normally I teach in a t-shirt/tank top and just fold it up over my abdomen if/when I get warm or want to emphasize rib/abdominal movements...but occasionally I skip the middle step and just wear a sports bra for class.  So shoes in hand (great deal btw.) I mosey over to the little pink sports bra. Big time sticker shock.

( ..$$$ )

I guess I've been shopping the discount chains for too long.  The last sports bra(s) I got were ... I think ... 3 for $15? maybe 3 for $20.  but I think it was 3 for $15.

I haven't been in a mall in forever.  If someone wants more than $30 for a pair of jeans I don't even try them on, $20 is my usual speed. And I usually buy t-shirts in the $7-10 range.

I guess that's why those low priced chains attract so many shoppers. 

So is it me? or is it them...come on seriously now.. .

what does it mean to be Canadian?

hockey?

politeness?

gay marriage?

poutine?

comedians?

a laughable military?

Idiotic leaders who can't speak English OR French coherently?

Igloos & sled dogs?


in a side note.  I'm glad Henry Morgantaler was recognized for his achievements in Women's reproductive rights and all those asshats that are up in arms *cough* Jeff Watson *cough* (local idiot politician & strict Catholic) about giving the Order of Canada to an 'abortionist' can go... I can't think of anything bad enough....
