The Gap.

I'm currently filling out a survey for The Gap, so I can get 10% off my next purchase. I'm evaluating my shopping experience today. So far, my two favorite questions are:
  • "My visit made me feel happy," and
  • "My visit made me confident."
This is NOT a counseling session; it's shopping. And there is a difference, in spite of what many of the fairer sex may think.

oh, oh, oh, I feel a P&P quote coming on!

Mr. Bingley: All young ladies are accomplished. They sing, they draw, they dance, speak French and German, cover screens and I know not what.
Mr. Darcy: But not half a dozen would satisfy my notion of an accomplished woman.
Miss Bingley: Oh, certainly. No woman can be really esteemed accomplished who does not also possess a certain something in her air, in her manner of walking, in the tone of her voice, her address and expressions.
Mr. Darcy: And to all this she must yet add something more substantial in the improvement of her mind by extensive reading.
Elizabeth Bennet: I'm no longer surprised at you knowing only six accomplished women, Mr Darcy. I rather wonder at your knowing any.

So did your visit make you happy?

Wellll... let's just say that I went back and bought the same pants in a different color. What can I say: Gap pants fit me better than most.

But I can't say that it made me happy in a lasting, fulfilled sort of way (only JESUS can do that!).
