I don't know about you but sometimes I go into a store for 1 thing, usually under $20 - often under $10 and come out of said store spending over $40. Target is bad for this, so is any craft store.
The otherday I went to the grocery store to get : diet coke and a loaf of bread.
I came out with:
Diet Coke
Potato Chips
More Poato Chips
Vanilla Bean Icecream
Chocolate Fudge Sundae Icecream (yes, I know - I don't eat icecream - but I was craving it)
Loaf of bread
Chocolate frosted Cupcakes
White frosted cupcakes.
Gum
Candy bar
and $40.00 later I have satisfied all premenstural cravings.
Today was a little better - I was at work. I ate some heart healthy life cereal, some doritos were consumed to balance out the sweet of the cinnamon life and by lunch I was running a little low on diet coke - I luckilly made it out of the store for $12 - those chunky chips ahoy had my name on them - yes, two packages. Don't worry they are locked in my desk drawed for tomorrow.
So I know you won't believe it -- but it's been almost 1.5 years since I bought a new purse. I know -- crazy. But the last purse spree I stocked up and had a couple handbags that I rotated properly and now I have this medium brown matches everything handbag -- that well has seen better days. Something has spilled insdie and stained the leather- most of the zippers and snaps work - the handles are still in adequate condition but overall the bag looks like it got into a couple fights with car doors, jamba juice spills, rain, sleet, and the abonimal snow man.
SO I went shopping with Camille one day for lunch - she wanted to look at the purses at TJ Max, which is a great place to look -- once in awhile but most of the time they are crap. But I wasn't looking -- and there it was. A wonderful dark brown - perfect for fall handbag. It's part suede and part glossy but not patent leather -- cute straps - silver detailing big enough and then some to hold all my crap.
I haven't been shopping for me, aside from the essentials -- I've been taking care of a household and I guess I just forgot that I need to buy Kristen something once in awhile, (aside from pre packaged hanes her way underwear, oh the shame.) because I was so happy after I bought it. Giddy almost.
