Well, all of that to say that my mom's aversion to shopping actually works out great. Because on my whirlwind of a shopping day yesterday I saw a sweater that I ADORE! I tried it on and loved it even more! My birthday is in a week and knowing my mom had not gotten me anything yet (since it was not the day of my birth or the 24 hours preceding it) I hopped on my cell phone in the dressing room...still wearing the sweater...and gave her a ring. It went like this:
Me: Hey mom. I'm at Old Navy wearing a sweater that I really love! (Then I went into a lengthy description of what it looks like) It's 30 bucks. Want me to buy it and you can pay me back and that can be my birthday present?
Mom: Sure! This is great! I could shop like this all day!
Me: Sweet! Thanks...I'll show it to you sometime!
Mom: Great! I can't wait to see what I bought.
And there you have it. Mom doesn't have to brave the ridiculous crowds or fret about if I'll like something. I get exactly what I want without having to return anything or make a list or try to describe what I like! It's a win win situation. And now...for your viewing pleasure (and so my mom can see what she got me for my birthday)....ME! In my B-E-A-UTIFUL new sweater! 
Oh, and P.S. I changed the user name on my blog to just "Sarah" and put a picture of just me up because let's face it, Jason hates writing, and It's really just my blog.

I love your new picture (sorry you got booted, Jason)! And I must say, that IS a beautiful sweater I got you, isn't it? Can we do all of my Christmas shopping this way? :-)
That is usually how my mom buys me things, too! In fact, for my b-day, Scott went with me to New York & Co (my favorite store) and we picked out a ton of stuff (almost all on clearance) and then I called mom, said, "hey, you wanna buy me this stuff?" and she said yes. She was a little bummed that she didn't get to wrap it for me (I wore it on my birthday!)
