I did it!
Saturday, July 19th, 2008I went shopping and didn’t buy anything for myself! It may sound trivial but to me it’s a huge deal. I am a borderline shopaholic. When I go to the mall with the intention of buying a particular item I leave with everything else BUT the thing I went in to buy. I can’t help it. I’m drawn to the cute new fashion trends. To the sales racks… I hate digging through them but I have to at least look otherwise I’ll feel like I’m missing out on something.
Today I went to buy a bridal shower gift, mind you the shower is tomorrow morning so I don’t have much time. My girlfriend is registered at Macy’s so I parked right in front of the Macy’s entrance and went straight to the bridal registry. Well, I forgot that Macy’s has a home store and a clothing store. So of course I subconsciously parked at the entrance of the wrong one.
The minute I stepped through the door the sales racks were calling out my name. I tried on a few pair of sunglasses. Looked at a few cute summer dresses and found myself trying on shoes. But… in the end I walked away…pulled myself away.
I came home with nothing but a $40 salad spinner.
