Another Shopping Weekend

I have really enjoyed the last two weekends because I have been able to indulge in some retail therapy. After the failed IVF cycle, Mike was pushing me to buy myself some "fun, new, unneccessary" things...clothes, make-up, whatever. But, without a paycheque and with no EI cheque anywhere in sight, it wasn't possible at that time. So, I went on another little shopping spree this weekend:

A cute pair of runners for when my spring walks start up (once all this stupid snow goes away).

I have been looking waiting for over a year for these shoes to show up in my size!

Throughout the year as I was waiting for the brown ones to arrive, I decided I may as well pick up the black pair and the khaki pair! When I really like something, I always have to have one in every colour :-)










The picture doesn't do this shirt justice...this pic makes it look like a black and white tie dyed shirt circa 1989. It's actually cream coloured and a dark grey/green. It does an excellent job of highlighting my good features and hiding the not-so-desirable tummy area. Plus, it will work as a maternity shirt :-)

I also bought a new pair of jeans and another black shirt that was one sale. We went to a friend's house for a barbeque last night (in -25C!) so it was a perfect chance to wear my new outfit! Throughout the evening, I drank three paralyzers and, boy, did I pay for it today! I was so nauseous and dizzy all day (until Mike went and got us some Wendy's - that seemed to clear up all my ailments immediately!). I ended up sleeping for most of the afternoon (sorry for missing our chat Valeria!) and now I am scrambling to get my laundry done for tomorrow.

I guess if I'm wanting to make it Europe sometime this year, I guess I should quit my weekend splurges. BUT if I quit my shopping, I won't look as fabulous strutting down the little cobblestone streets!
