So despite the fact that I never used to think of myself as a girly girl, I keep proving to myself time and again that, indeed, I am.

I innocently stopped at Target today to pick up toilet paper and light bulbs. Before I knew it I'd spent over $100 on stuff I do not need!! The store was full of red and pink and valentine's stuff and due to my weakened emotional state I found myself throwing a bunch of stuff in my cart. Apparently in a matter of 20 minutes I subconsciously decided to be my own valentine today cause when I got to the checkout I discovered I'd loaded up with some sexy new underwear, cute silk pajama bottoms, a box of yummy chocolate truffles and (this is the girly kicker!) 2 seasons of Sex and the City I haven't seen in a while and I don't already own. But at least they were all on sale.

I will not go shopping depressed again.

OMG, I've been daydreaming about going on a Target/Bed Bath & Beyond binge all day!! I think you've inspired me!!

omg!

now i want sex and the city on DVD

Never go shopping depressed.

Impulse buying then is the worst you can do.

You can get some cool stuff but your bank account suffers.

Always good to spoil yourself though-and they were on sale, which somehow makes everything better, doesn't it?

Hope you're feeling better Carrie.

You needed that...don't you dare feel bad about it! ENJOY yourself and forget about the world for a while

its not funny
well it is.....

Glad I could help. Enjoy your shopping!

Don't feel bad. I do the same thing.

Recently I went to Kohl's and unfortunately walked past the clearance area. The LAST thing I need is more clothes and jewelry (or makeup) but by the time I'd left I'd picked out a sweater, pants, a new purse and a necklace. Want to know why I 'needed' them? They were PINK. And I love pink and well...also I have no will power. On top of that, there were a pair of thong sandals I also wanted JUST BECAUSE THEY HAD A FLOWER ON THEM. I couldn't get them that day but I'd be lying if I said I am not planning to go back and get them.

Another trouble area for me is Bath & Body Works or any store that sells yummy smelling lotions and bath stuff.

I say just accept it and celebrate your girly-ness! And the truth is a new pair of undies or some silky pj bottoms or whatever can really help a person's spirit, I know - just a $4 cheap bracelet has, for me in the past, cheered me up and helped make a difficult day a little brighter. Don't discount the power of that!

BTW, you got some cool sounding stuff.

It's a damn good thing I didn't stop there on my way home or it would have been trouble.

CarrieMpls said:

I think CD and DVD manufacturers have a big banner or something in their factories that say:

"Thank you Chris!"

Well, they should.

cborgman said:

you're such a girly girl

CarrieMpls said:

You just made my day. Thank you.


ps - I like you too. Carrie

subhuman09 said:

You could open a Best Buy franchise!

cborgman said:

We'll have to lock any and ALL threads you start due to your addiction to such things...i.e. Buffy the Vampire Lesbian.

muirdo said:

It totally is.

subhuman09 said:

um, as a chris and a DVD addict, i am sure they will mean me if they do so.

superspaceboy said:

cborgman said:

BUFFY KICKS ASS!

cborgman said:

I'm actually starting on Buffy soon. My friend has the whole freaking series and I've never watched an episode. Once I get through a season or two, I'll let you know.

applekisses said:

Hell, I am a Best Buy.

cborgman said:

Ah, I knew I had a brother.

applekisses said:

CarrieMpls said:

season 1 is kinda silly. season 2 is when it starts getting good. 3 was very good, 4 was a little silly, but moments were incredible, 5 ROCKED MY SHIT! can't wait for 6 and 7
