There is something to be said about a little retail therapy.
John left this morning for CA to see a few HS friends of his. I am so excited for him since he rarely gets out and yet envious since I have never met this elusive couple that I have spent 11 years sending Christmas cards to....
But it was not meant to be.
That just left me, Madison, Anthony, John's checkbook and a bunch of stores for us to explore. I jumped on the computer this afternoon to plot out my plan. I find it comforting (and yes a little bit anal) to plot out from farther to closest and then if there are things that spoil or if I can bribe the kids with something etc. All the parents that read this know what I am talking about.
Anyway, I found a workout store that J ( I am keeping her anonymous in case her husband is reading) and I used to go to in MA called Lucy. I flipping love their store (that and Lululemon but there isn't one that is close to here). The have very expensive yoga pants that are sized perfectly! You know, the size smaller that you normally don't wear fits ( I freaking will buy every size 2 on the rack if I can get into it).
I was "window shopping" on the Internet today and found a pair of cargo pants that I fell in love with. I just had to have them. So I found them and bought the $68 pair of pants....FOR $14.99! HELLO! Then I found a $45 ORGANIC (read granola crunchy here folks) tank top for $9.99! I am stoked! Seriously.
Talk about a mood brightener. I still can't get the smile off my face. I wonder where the kids and I will go tomorrow...
