I did not sleep Friday night, so I was tired yesterday morning. Regardless, I went to a conference in a city one hundred kilometers from Rome called "Colleferro." Colleferro is a small town -- nothing special -- but the weather was good and I had a nice drive through the hills in the countryside. The conference was interesting, and when it finished I drove back home.
I called my sister and we went to an amazing shopping centre twenty kilometers from my house. The 10th of November is my sister's birthday, so I gave her a present. I gave her money and she bought what she wanted. She bought a jacket, two pullovers, two pairs of jeans, and something else; I can't remember.
She is thrifty and determined. She always gets what she wants with what she has. She is a very capable shopper, which is good because I'm quite the disaster at shopping. I usually buy things that I do not need or things that I do not really like. Merchants always convince me that that what they are selling is perfect for me.
In the end, I did not over-spend, but more inportantly; she was happy. I am a poor shopper, but I am a good sister. I will ask her to confirm that.
A Saturday morning
I didn't sleep on Friday so I was very tired yesterday morning, but I went to a conference in Colleferro, a city not so far to Rome. The distance from Rome is almost 100 km. Colleferro is a little town, there's nothing special, but the weather was good yesterday so it was very nice driving through the hills in the countryside. The conference was interesting and when it is finished I drove back home. I have called my sister then so we went together shopping in an amazing shopping centre at 20 km from my house. 10th November is my sister's birthday so I bought her a present. I gave her some money and she boughts what she wanted. She boughts with the money a jacket, 2 pullovers, 2 pairs of jeans and something else that I can't remember. She's parsimonious and determinate. She always gets what she wants with all that she has. And she is capable to do it well while I'm quite a disaster when I go shopping, I'm usually buy something that I don't need or something that I don't like a lot. Sellers always convince me that that something is perfect for me. At the end I spent not so much and more of over she was very happy! I think that I'm a bad shopper but I'm a good sister... I will ask her to confirm!
