This morning I go out to buy three things on my list....yes I purposely put three things down that I needed and then when I got to the store....that looked good....that was a good deal....thought I could use that....and so on and so on. I do not shop very often and now I know why.
I was so happy being out and about in my little car just enjoying the beautiful day and the freedom to go where I wanted and buy what I wanted.
p.s. I used to look like the girl in the picture 25 years ago....o.k. 35 years ago but have changed a bit as I got older. :)
It is all so bittersweet isn't it? I do not like to shop and do not go out often to do it but when I do.....watch out. I must admit the did get things for my guys lunches and I did buy things for dinner, and I did buy seeds for the back yard and hand tools to use too as the dollar store ones suck. I was pretty good... but yes... I snuck a pair of black ballet shoes into the mix because I wanted them, and I also splurged on a big box of Nanaimo bars which will a perfect dessert for dinner. All in all I felt a bit guilty but secretly I had a blast. I felt younger and fresher and full of vigour as I bought those packages, tossed them into my cart and proudly trod off to my car. The downer that sometime can become reality is? Where can I put all those packages into my little Mini. Long live the shopper!
