You know you've reached a low point when your husband has to say, "Uh . . . I don't think those shoes match your dress." Before Jason and I got married, one of the things he said he liked about me was that I didn't really like shopping--but now I don't think he's so sure! All of my capris have holes in the knees, my shoes are falling apart, my blue bathing suit is so faded it looks white--and so stretched out it looks like a maternity bathing suit (well, I DID wear it during two pregnancies), and I have no shirts to match my pants--it's to the point where Jason is practically begging me to go shopping. So . . . I've got him right where I want him--now I can buy whatever I want, and I'm pretty sure he's not going to complain!
I'm just joking, of course. In our family, I'm the one who doesn't want extra money to be spent--I'm always looking at Jason's receipts and asking questions like, "Did you really need that chocolate bar at Canadian Tire?" or "Couldn't you find a less expensive place to repair your power tools?"
But I have to admit that over the past few weeks I have bought a new pair of shoes (they won't match any of my dresses, but they are SO cute!), a new swimming suit (originally $115 on sale for $39.99), and a new hoodie (my old one was bought in 1999 and its pocked was ripped)--and I actually did enjoy shopping. Who knows, maybe I'll even break down and buy some shoes to match my white skirt--they're probably even on sale now that summer is ending! I'll see you at the mall :)

Yes everyone! I do love it when my wife shops. Its great!
I can't believe you still have those brown shoes!!! I wore mine on my first date with Mike:) The new ones are so cute--they look so small. I thought they were kid's shoes. I like the new look to your blog too!
