"Hey Seventeeners, It&amp;#039;s winter break time \u2014 a whole month of nothing to do sounds so amazing. Although, I&amp;#039;m actually a little bit worried I&amp;#039;ll get bored during the days :/ Okay, actually, just kidding, I cant say I&amp;#039;m too worried about that. After all, break has been pretty eventful so far. It started off with a little shopping trip to the Mall of America... let&amp;#039;s just say that this little shopping trip didn&amp;#039;t exactly go as planned. First of all, it took us FIVE hours to get there! That&amp;#039;s two hours longer than usual! We&amp;#039;re not sure, but we think that the extra hours somehow added up by missing a few exits, picking up my friend Chelsea, stopping for gas, and driving around the parking ramp for a good 25 minutes looking for an open spot. Yeah, you can imagine how busy that mall was, since it was right before Christmas. We stupidly didn&amp;#039;t consider that mini detail. Anyway, once we finally got into the mall, we ate a quick dinner and then headed to Forever 21. About 20 minutes into shopping, my sister started mentioning that she wasn&amp;#039;t feeling very well. Next thing we knew, she&amp;#039;d thrown her items into Chelsea&amp;#039;s arms and ran out the front of the store in a frantic search for the nearest bathroom. About ten minutes later, she was back, and thinking it was just her acid reflux acting up, continued to shop as if nothing had happened. That didn&amp;#039;t last long... for the next 3 hours, she was in and out and in and out of the bathroom. Her trips to the bathroom became more frequent, and she couldn&amp;#039;t deny that we had to go home. This was her text to me: &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m sitting on a couch outside the bathrooms next to the security guards. I think I&amp;#039;m giving up for the day...oh, but before we go, I gotta get some Uggs.&amp;quot; Gotta love her Anyway, we finally ended up making it to the car about 25 minutes later... let&amp;#039;s just say it wasn&amp;#039;t the most pleasant ride home. Thankfully though, she&amp;#039;s feeling a lot better. We think it was just food poisoning, which is actually super lucky, since being sick over Christmas would be pretty much the worst thing ever. Anywho, that&amp;#039;s what&amp;#039;s up with me. Hopefully things start to go a little smoother from here on out. Lovies, Carly Have any crazy shopping stories of your own?
