Stop Me Before I Shop Again

Invite me to something – I have a lot of cute new clothes I need to wear.  Went on a massive shopping spree with my sister this weekend.  Massive.  I don’t know what happened.  Maybe the stars were all in alignment and Mercury was in retrograde or something, but I didn’t see an item I didn’t like.  The best excuse I could come up with was that I’m going to Cabo in May and Vegas in June…and  therefore must buy clothing two months in advance?  In a rare show of self-restraint however, I did hold off on buying a sixth swimsuit.  I figured the five I have sadly stuffed in a drawer at home were sufficient.  I’m now nervously awaiting the finally tally to show up on my credit card statement.  Thankfully, I’m atrocious at math and lost track of how much I was spending three stores into the spree, thus allowing me to continue spending recklessly and relatively guilt-free.

Oh, and in case anyone was anxiously wondering about the fate of the gold clutch I’ve been talking about forever (as I’m sure you all were), I finally bought one.  It’s actually bronze, but close enough.  It also shimmers and looks much better than in this picture! 

And despite this crass show of consumerism, I’m still trying to think of a way to contribute to the community.
