I did it!

Saturday, July 19th, 2008

I 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.
