Retail Therapy

As you can see I am back up and running. (Bet nobody even noticed I was gone at all. Sniff sniff)
Any hoot... I was feeling a little down and out last week and so I took myself on a "little" shopping spree. After all, I needed to pick up some things for my trip in a couple of weeks and pick up a birthday present for Nichole. So while Scott was at work I took a trip to the mall. Now everyone knows how I hate the mall, but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. I was walking around Dillards and picked up the pair of Rainbow sandals that Nicki had been wanting. While there, I found a pair of cute black shoes that I had seen a couple months ago and regretted not buying and so I bought those too. Well, the purse department was right next to the shoes department and so I mosied on over there and found they had a good sale going on. Well, I can't pass up a good sale! So I found me a leather pocketbook I liked. Bought that too. What good is new shoes and a new pocketbook without something new to wear it with right? So upstairs I go to the womans clothing department. I head right to the clearance and low and behold I find a pair of Capri's and 3 tops that were priced just right for me and so I bought those too. I thought I'd better get ouit of this store because I am spending waaaay to much money in here and so I head on down to another department store. What is that I see? A sale? I better go and check it out. It's safe to look because I never find nothing I like in this store anyway. Wrong. Found a couple more tops that were just to good a price to pass up. And plus they went well with the Capri's, shoes and purse I just bought so what the hell, I bought those too. I thought I'd better head on home because I didn't want to get stuck in the rush hour traffic so I start heading back and naturally I had to stop at Lane Bryant while passing it on my way out. There I buy 3 more tops, well one was for work so I NEEDED that one, so that doesn't count. OK here I go. If I don't leave now I'm going to get stuck in traffic. Wait.....theres INK bookstore. Let me just see if they have the new issue of scrapbook magazines in yet. Yes they do! Yippee! Which to choose from......I hate making decisions! Can't think... Can't think.....screw it......take them all. NOW I am finally headed for the car to get home and what happens? There's traffic up the ass. That's ok though because my feet are tired from all the walking I done. Once home I show hubby all my purchases! He just smiles and see's how happy I am and doesn't say a word. Bless his heart. He's the best! Well, I'm still not done spending money and so I ask Scott, "Honey do you want to take a ride to Best Buy with me? I want to look at computers." Sure. He'll come with me. So off we go. Well, needless to say we didn't just "look". We ended up buying a whole new computer, some software, batteries and battery charger, more memory for my camera and a couple other things we needed. Buy the time we got home I was completely exhausted! My feet hurt so bad, I was tired, thirsty, hungry and had a headache from hell! But you know what? I FELT GOOD! That is just what I needed!
