shop till you drop

In the last 2 weeks I've bought a lot of stuff... and I mean a lot. Then of course I start to feel guilty, and unsure of my purchases, so now comes the task of returning half of what I bought. Arg. For example, I bought new sneakers from Gordon's Shoes, then I found a cheaper pair at Dick's sporting goods (teehee) so I bought those too. I knew with 98% certainty that I'd find cheaper shoes at Dick's but I went ahead and bought the ones from Gordon's anyways and now I have to go back to the mall to return them.

I also bought a pair of black pants and jeans from Banana Republic's new petites line, 'cause they were having a special on petites. I didn't really like either one so I went to return them today. I walked out of the store with a jersey wrap dress. It was pretty expensive and now I'm regretting that decision. When I go to the mall to return the sneakers, I'll stop by Ann Taylor Loft and Macy's to see if I can find a similar dress for less and then go back to BR to return the current one (I really like it though).

Indecision... thou art my nemesis.

I also stopped by Victoria's Secret to use a coupon for $10 off a bra. They had several varieties that the coupon applied to, most of which were push-up style. For fun, I decided to try one on. I can't even describe how hilarious someone my size looks in a push-up bra. In fact, I'm amazed that push-up bras come in my size (and up). I looked really absurd. That's all I'll say.

My final stop on tonight's shopping tour was Williams-Sonoma where I bought myself a slow-cooker recipe book. I've already stocked up on some ingredients and I can't wait to try them! In particular, I'm looking forward to the garlic potato soup, the cilantro potato bisque, and the chicken chili.

..must...stop...shopping...

I also need to find my checkbooks. My current pack only has 2 checks left and I need to write at least 3 in the next 2 weeks.
