kittenmmm's blog post - something completely different!

Well you'll all be pleased to know that I had a nice long 4 hour sleep this morning so I was full of energy today.

Now, for something completely different...I'm not a shopper. Yes, believe it or not, I do not like to shop. I hate going to the store, I dislike looking for things, I don't like standing in line and I hate spending my money. I know, every man's wet dream...likes beer, football, sex and hates shopping.

Anyway, I HAD to go today. I have to go to a baby shower tomorrow so I couldn't put it off any longer. I grabbed the keys to the car as soon as my husband came home and flew out the door. In addition to disliking this prospect I have to drive to the next town because there's no where to shop here. Well, the Salvation Army but I wasn't buying someone baby gifts from there.

So, off I go...to WalMart. I'm fully expecting to be in a real pissy mood and hate this. I hate the store. I hate shopping. Grrrr. So I go in, grab my carraige and head over to infants. I start looking at all this cute stuff and next thing you know I'm actually enjoying myself. No one was bothering me, I had no obligations back home...I figured what the hell, go with it.

I'm really bad with baby gifts too. I always spend way more than necessary. But, I remember how it was and what you REALLY needed and that's what I get. Diapers, wipes, pacifiers, onesies, blankets...photo album...but I can't find a damn diaper bag. Oh well I decide to go off to the other store down the road which is now a Sears Essentials.

Bingo, we have diaper bags. Oooh and we have this damn cute blanket set in a special type of decorative box. Oh and look over there...lingerie. Yeah I need a new gown, and its on sale...Oh, and look at that cute shirt and it's on sale too. You know, its been so long since I bought myself a nice item of clothing...Oh and my son needs new sneakers...I should grab them while I'm here. Ka ching...

Of course now I need wrapping paper and my son needed book covers so off I go to the Dollar Store. At least here everything is only a dollar. I find some paper, got 3 packages just in case...get mom a birthday card...no book covers so we'll improvise...a roll of Kraft paper and some tape. And Sunflower candles...have to have that. And I need tealights for the tart burner..got it.

I'm done...that's it. I'm flabbergasted at myself but I felt good too. I got some good bargains and ended up only spending slightly over $100.00. That's not bad for all I got..especially when you consider my son's shoes cost 39.99. I felt so good that when I got home I got creative and made a frame for some pictures in Lunna's room. (yes Lunna...it's your room, I know you're only letting me use it)

All in all a good day! /me passes on the good feelings to all who need it...
