‘Scuse me for singing this morning, even though it’s good that I feel like singing, seeing as how I am getting over a sickness that had me laid out and internet-less yesterday. Stupid weather changes. My sinuses got all confused, leaving me wide open for my sweetheart’s cold. We went to visit his mom over the weekend (my EZPass deduction should hit me in about, oh, a week), and we had a nice time.
I am proud to announce that my future mother-in-law took me shopping for work clothes and I spent $55 guilt-free at the AJ.Wright ($47 plus NY tax). I got three pair of slacks, a blouse ($1 off b/c of a snag we fixed later), and six pairs of socks, which I really needed (you know how the socks thin out around your big toe after a while, as if a hole is on its way). I wanted some blazers and more blouses, but the place was so picked over I couldn’t find anything I liked in my size. Oh well. I told myself that I could buy $100 worth of things, so perhaps I’ll stop by the R.oss after work and find $45 worth of more stuff (shopping in Philly’s city limits is tax-free year round).
This is the first time I’ve been shopping in calendar year 2007. I just couldn’t hold out any longer, and it’s within my means. I’m proud of myself - it’s about time. Today I’m wearing one pair of new pants with a pair of my new socks and a sweater I have from last year. Outside of looking like I should be sleeping off the pleurisy in bed somewhere, I look good today.
Congrats! New clothes always make me smile.

Your first time shopping for the year?! I’m amazed and really impressed with the deals you found. You’re like my shopping yoda.

I haev yet to go shopping for myself in 07, I keep banking on gifts from everybody else. If I look homeless long enough, my mom or grandma will have some pity and buy me a pair of jeans
Someday I’ll give in and actually buy something, I just can;t justify buying a $60 sweater (Bananna Republic) when I have so many things to buy for the baby. And its hard to find decent men’s clothes at a bargain price….thats my excuse and I’m sticking to it
