SOMEBODY STOP ME!!

I have been on a shopping frenzy this week which is so not like me. I have been somewhere shopping almost every day this week and if I wasn't gone somewhere to shop I shopped online. I'm a bargain hunter but we can't afford this kind of shopping although it something I've been planning on doing and had stashed a little extra for...

On Tuesday Misti,the woman who does my hair, was finally back at work after an eight week maternity leave so, yeah, this is one that I had been planning for a while.
We did my hair a dark cola brown with red highlights. She got it a little darker than I like but I'm sure it will lighten in a few shampoos.
I had also been planning on going to my favorite liquor store when I went to Holdenville to see Misti. I had a budget and a list and stuck to it pretty well. I love to go to the liquor store... oh, all the shiny, pretty bottles. I stocked up on my usuals.. dark rum for baking cakes and Jose Cuervo gold for shots but I bought a new brand of vodka we've never tried, a polish vodka Monolopowa, a new whiskey Wisers, and a new bourbon that a friend told me about, American Honey. I buy small amounts, pints, so I can more variety and we just don't drink all that much. The American Honey is amazing.

Oh, and I stopped at Walmart and picked up some pj's for Emily, Seth and Zoe.

Yesterday I was cleaning out Emily's closet and had a load of clothes that needed to go to the Salvation Army so I took them and decided to shop a while. Hit the mother load of extra nice onsies for Zoe Beth.

I have ordered Levi & Christi's and Seth's Christmas presents online so my Christmas shopping is all done except for Emily and she is the most fun of all.

When Levi was 15, 16 we were in a position financially where I could indulge the whole brand name/right store/too expensive teenage desire for clothes-to-impress-the-other-teenagers a little. I'm just way to practical to do a lot of that kind of shopping. I have never been able to do that for Seth and actually he is just now going thru that stage where he is around other teens and wants to fit in by wearing the "right" clothes. So, I had told him that I would set aside some money from a big job just for that purpose and today was the day to take him on his first big shopping spree. Boy did we shop. We hit every store in the mall that had cool boy clothes and bought something in almost everyone. Lots and lots of sales going on. We stopped long enough to eat lunch and shopped some more, we shopped until he was tired of shopping then I dragged him across town and we shopped some more.

Very fun day.

After today I don't think I will be shopping again for a while... by the end of the day I was so spent I didn't even want to look at baby girl clothes.. and that must mean I AM DONE.
