off the wagon.

oh. i've been good. very good.

not in attempt to entice santa (although that would be nice).

but just good.

i guess i've been a bit freaked out by all the doom and gloom of the financial reports. the excessive hype of the news media. waiting for the recession. the higher prices. etc. etc. and i've had that whole simplify message running through my brain, too.

so i've been good. not great. but good.

i mean really? how many pairs of shoes does one person need? well, ok. i shouldn't ask that one.

but seriously? i have enough clothes, shoes, make up, un-necessities to last me months. no years.

but today. i don't know what happened. i fell. and fell semi-hard. not hard. just semi-hard.

two new pairs of jeans, a sweater, and a new pair of shoes.

i know. i know. it doesn't sound like much. and it really wasn't. old navy for the jeans and sweater (and we know how cheap their stuff is) and the shoes. well. they were expensive. but i had two coupons and a gift card (from a return, of course - see i'm what you could call a "serial returner" - but i'll save that for another post). so in actuality they were cheap. so what if they are cole haans. they'll last forever, right? and they were cheap in relativity...

so there. i 'fessed up.

i fell off. but i'm back on tomorrow.

well, after i get that one sweater at banana that is calling out to me....
