in order to get my personal life off the internet, i made a purchase.
this way you dont have to bear me harping on how miserable i am!
I now have some good ideas for what i can do now….. well, actually, now i can focus on trying to think of something new to do here.
i have an idea which i am going to give a shot at doing tomorrow.
so… STAY TUNED!
In the meantime, I have a funny story:
Today I was very sad. I decided to go for a walk with a purpose. That purpose being the purchase of a new journal (above image)! I sort of hurried out of the house and when I reached Borders HQ, I realized that I was still in my pajamas! I was so upset by this since everyone seemed to have pulled out their best peacoats, cotton tights, and riding boots to do whatever they do downtown. In my self conciousness ducked across the street into Urban Outfitters and searched desperately for something presentable to wear. Silly me bought a tiny dress (it was on sale! *cha-ching*). So, I make my purchase, change in the men’s bathroom at Starbucks (oops), and head home. I’m maybe four blocks from my house and realize how cold it really is. I duck into St. Vincent de Paul to see whats up. And, guess what?! Sweaters Galore! Omigosh! Let me tell you, I love sweaters. Of course, I’m broke so, I choose one and a scarf and this fluffy blue and white thinger and duck out. After a nice afternoon of extreme consumerism, I head home feeling at peace with myself.
I may be an emotional shopper, but not in the way that you feel depressed after you make a purchase and just want to return it all but you can’t it just makes everything worse. No. I made my purchase and I know in my heart that what I got is an asset to anyone’s closet and in this case, mine!
I learned another strange thing about myself, well, maybe not strange. But, it’s good to know! The way I look affects the way I feel. I need to start taking better care of myself and I’ll feel better.
I am turning over a new leaf. I can first take care of myself and then I can try to BEGIN taking care of everything else I so easily destroyed!
