End of Season Sales

Although I always felt in high school an anathema for the “shopping” culture, I have thoroughly enjoyed the last few days of end-of-the-season clothing shopping. I bought several things for Ricki on my own, things I was sure will fit her in two years if not in one. Today I took her to try on a few things that I saw in a slightly more exclusive store (not-bargin-basement style). It was nice to be able to get a few nicely cut offits at a normal price, and best of all, Ricki behaved pretty well today. So far the is earning most of her points on her chart. She is highly motivated, and is able to curtail her shenanigans whenever I remind her that she is working towards a prize..
