I just just just published a post about not shopping for 6 months, and already--already!--am jonesing for a shopping run. A thrift store! Something small!
But I don't do small. I really don't. I went to Heaven on Earth--aka the Rose Bowl Flea Market--and took out $60, with the intention of getting Just The Things On My List of Perfect RBFM Souvenirs--and left, having spent every penny. At one booth. On costume jewelry. (Which, btw, is admittedly totally rad and I have worn it all every day since, regardless of the fact that that could possibly make me look...insane...) Or the other day, after opening up my email the day after he Hardest Year of My Life officially ended, and getting the single nastiest, meanest email from a parent I've ever gotten--and then driving straight to the mall and spending almost $200 on sale costume jewelry.
Yes, I really did do that. It's so ridiculous, and I have no excuse.
But I still want to go shopping today. Ideas?
