I wear my sunglasses into WalMart sometimes. People do give me weird looks when they see me with the sunglasses on. I've gotten weird comments at times too...sometimes not-so-nice comments. I give them back some even-more-not-so-nice words that describe what I think of those people. (yes, I can be a little...mouthy...at times.

I even had one store (Target, I think) that had their LP (Loss Prevention) employee following me around once. I knew he was the LP person because I'd seen him before, ambushing a shoplifter who was trying to make it out the doors with something.

Just because I want to wear sunglasses at night (why am I hearing a catchy song from the 1980s in my head?) doesnt mean I'm shopping with less-than-legal intentions. Geeze.


I sometimes get the dizzy spinnies when going into certain stores, sometimes it barely affects me or isnt even noticable. I can tell when I'm not feeling all that great, the lights affect me more. (and the people and crowds annoy me more. Especially screaming kids on Wheelies shoes who crash into me and knock me down and then blame me for them crashing into me. That's really freaking annoying, altho that might not be totally related to the lights bugging me)

Oh well, I'm starting to really enjoy internet shopping! Especially when I can get free shipping!
