The shopping ladies are on vacation this week, woo-hooing at pool boys, scouring outlets for deals and enjoying a few amazing reads.

Or, Bag Lady and Shopping Siren are, right now, ignoring a mounting to-do list, wondering if the lawn needs to be mowed (when does neighbor-shaming kick in? When the grass is 4 inches? 5 inches?) and wondering if anyone in the house would notice if they snuck off to the bathroom with the latest issue of “People” because it’s the only room available to get a few minutes of peace and &%$! quiet with all these guests.

Either way, they’re off!

And they’ll be back shopping and adventuring next week.
