Well, I Did It...

Sunday, October 4, 2009

I started my Christmas shopping yesterday. I know, I know, you're all thinking, is she nuts? There are still more than two months until Christmas. My son said the same things to me yesterday. But, I had the opportunity to go to the outlet mall near me and I had the money, so I did it.

My mother-in-law picked me up at 10 o'clock yesterday morning and we spent the day shopping. I had a blast. I managed to make a pretty good dent and I managed not to go broke doing it. That's always a plus.

By the time we rolled back into my driveway, it was 7 o'clock in the evening and my hub had called me twice to find out when, if ever, I was coming home. Evidently he forget how his mother is. I have never met anyone who can shop like her. She was armed with coupons and the knowledge of which stores had the best sales. We started at one end, made three trips back to the car and ended at the other, only stopping for half an hour for lunch.

I found a lot of great deals, and I even managed to behave myself in one of the shoe stores (the Bass Outlet). Which wasn't easy considering they were having a fantastic sale. Buy one pair of boots, get 2 free. Yes, you read that right, buy one pair get 2 free. It was ridiculous. But, sadly, I did't partake.

The one pair of boots that I loved was $109 and hub would have had my head if I came home with more shoes. Even if it was a great deal. He just doesn't understand the fact that you can never have too many shoes. I stopped trying to explain that to him long ago. It's not worth my breath anymore.

So, today, I am recovering. I did a lot of walking and standing yesterday and my body hurts, but it was so worth it.

Oh and 3 pairs for $109 is much better than 3 pairs at $109 each. You should try that on hubby later. ;)

Trust the Shoe Whore. She's a pro - knows what she's talking about. ;)

I am and always have been a Bon Jovi fan. This blog is just my obsession taken a step further, my imagination in high gear if you will. I love to read and decided to see what would happen when I took that love of the written word and ramped it up a bit.
