I will actually go months and months without purchasing a single thing for myself. So even though I haven't been mad at my husband, I went on a shopping spree anyways. It started with the designer hair bows for Porgie. Then I decided that I needed some new summer clothes. I could have went to Target, but I decided that I needed to go to Macy's. My children were even little tyrants at the mall, but I forged ahead anyway. I ended up purchasing two pairs of capris and 4 shirts. And I have to admit, it felt great to shop for MYSELF!
While at the mall, I also had my children's pictures taken at JC Penny's. I was less than impressed, and will not be going back to that studio. I didn't care much for the photographer, the backgrounds, or the studio atmosphere. I really shouldn't have purchased many photos, but as usual, I bought way too many pictures. I really have a professional pictures addiction. When I sit down to select my portraits , I go crazy and start ordering EVERYTHING. I have no idea why John lets me buy so many pictures. He really needs to stop me.
In summary, I have been spending too much money lately. The end.

so just bc i couldn't leave empty handed i got a tall white chocolate mocha.
how sad is that!!
i say happy spending and well deserved on the new clothes!! we really should do it more often. not angry shopping. just pat yourself on the back shopping :)
Been there. ALl of the time.
Good for you! Sucks about the photos. We've done it once. And what did we do with those pictures? We put just ONE up.
I hear ya! I've been doing the same thing and I need to stop!
I have one lady that I like at our JC Penney's Portrait Studio. She takes awesome pictures. But I've gone before when she wasn't there and was less than impressed. I don't go without a coupon and I agree....they're backgrounds are nothing to write home about.
Glad you did some shopping for yourself though....you gotta do that every once in awhile!
Good for you! A lady after my own heart!!!!
I used to do the same thing (angry shopping, that is). But now we live in a city without a decent mall - so that has helped a bit. But I do buy things for my daughter when depressed/angry. :)
I love to let loose and do some shopping. I always make sure I know exactly what I am looking for first though- so I don't have to feel guilty later. Not that you do- or anything- but you know what I mean, right?
last time we went to Target..I bought a new CD that was serisouly on Clearance...why the guilt? I made up for it by getting a great new dress for an upcoming wedding! It was so fun NOT to shop in the maternity section!
I was naughty today too ~ I bought myself a pair of cropped trousers and a top ~ but the children got something too!!
It is nice to treat yourself every now and then ~ good on you!!
love and hugs ~ Tabitha XX
Hey, can you email me? cagey333@gmail.com
Thanks - nothing bad, just wanted to talk to you offline.
Happy shopping! :-)
I over-order studio portraits, too. (But I usually am very happy with the JCP by us.) I don't know what it is - is it that threat that once you walk away you can't ever again order from that sitting without paying an arm and a leg?!? Damn photographers!
I just realized yesterday I need to shop for myself, too. I have about three pairs of shorts that fit! EEEK!
When I blow money, it is ALWAYS at a book store!
You deserve to have nice stuff for yourself. We tend to focus on the kiddies and ignore what we need (or want).
I went on an "I miss my husband and need to spend money to make myself feel better" shopping spree last week. Finally new clothes for me!
Ahhh, you and I would be great friends...
Good for you, you deserve a treat every once in awhile. I do the same thing though. I will get gift certificates for my birthday or christmas and spend it on Ella or Quentin or household things.
yay for shopping. Sometimes if Pete goes golfing I buy myself something so I feel better
We all need to spend a little (or a lot) sometimes. We mothers work
hard and deserve a little treat,
sorry the picture place was not
all you wanted though
I do the same thing. But instead of shopping for me (because i'm too fat to fit into anything anyways) I buy random crap for Sophia. I can't leave a store without purchasing something. I also have an addiction to diaper bags. I have bought 3 in the last few months. I sneak them in. I tell Chris I have had them for ages and he should really pay attention to me more.
