Shopping

Decided to hit the Outlets today. Hoping to maybe find an end of year Christmas sale that was too good to pass up.

I need to lower my expectations.

Made a pilgrimage to the new COACH store. It was mobbed. And while people were grabbing everything (and anything) they could get their hands on, there was plenty I could live without. Even with 70% off, the wallet I found was still overpriced.

Wandered in to the fat lady store (there, I admitted it) and found a pair of pants that I could use for work. But I still want to lose weight. And I have a couple of pairs of pants in the closet that I bought, wore for a month and then retired because they became too big. I know these are GOOD problems to have, but I'm not made of $$ and I can't afford to keep buying new stuff. That said, I also can't go to work naked. But I walked away. If I wavered, I probably didn't need it that badly.

When all is said and done, the only thing I have to show for myself are some soaps from Bath and Body Works and two shirts for the girls. Talk about disappointing. On the bright side, given the almost 80 degree weather I did some shopping in my closet and came up with some pants that fit better than when I originally bought them.

THAT was a good feeling.
