I HAVE A SHOPPING PROBLEM. I first learned to admit this last week, when after two weeks of visiting the mall - almost daily - it dawned on me that maaaybeee I shop too much? This only occurred after running around the Gap in a mad daze trying on everything in site before their flash sale ended [Eric and I walked in at 6:30 and the sale ended at 7]. I don't think we even said a word to each other that whole half hour... and I had narrowed things down to two pairs of pants and two shirts, but there was no way I could take all of that. Just the week before I had bought two dresses, a pair of heels, and two shirts. Oh - but this is not the end of it. So at the flash sale - 30% off EVERYTHING and $20 off all jeans [bah! yeaaa] I ended up with one shirt and one pant [pretty tame]. Anddd then I bought a dress at H&M and dinner after.... ahhh. I was handing over my card at H&M when it hit me - maybeeee I spend a littttlleee tinnnyy bit too much on the things I put on my back. Oh, but school hasn't started yet... so I can usually make it a day of no shopping and then I'm back to it the day after. Case in point - going awayyy. I went to visit Marissa and stay at the beach, which shouuuldd mean nooo spending money... what is there to buy at the beach anyway? But noo, these were CT beaches... with outlets two or three of them within fifteen minutes of the beach! Sooo... a belt, scarf, and earrings... ahhh!!! Okay, but that's been it sooo far, and with school approaching I'm hoping my habits will change. I will probably be spending more money on beer and foodd [and hopefully the puppyyy]. I thought of a great idea I should practice but [obviously] have not started yet - that would be going for a run every time I have the urge to shop. See it's perfect - because every time that I would have the opportunity to shop would be the best opportunity to run. It would have to be light out, not during one of my classes, and essentially "down time". Ohhh if only it were thattt easy...
