It has been shown in hundreds upon thousands of books that it tends to be the little things that bother you. In the 7th chronicles of Narnia the king we beaten and tied to a tree by his own people, yet what most concerned him was a small trickle of blood that was tickling his chin that he couldn't scratch.And she has been shopping for pretty much her whole life.
