I think I was raiding the chocolate bowl when the shopping gene got passed out because I loathe shopping. I would rather pick up dog poop. The only thing that makes it tolerable is if I can take my daughter with me...she's fun to spend the day with, and she can go get me the right size if I guess wrong...and she has good ideas--although she dresses me a decade younger than I really am.<BR/><BR/>My solution? Races. I buy one pair of jeans a year (they usually last me 3 or 4) and then just enter local races and buy the shirt. I don't have to worry about color or fit that way. And for shoes I buy the fake Birkenstocks Bimart sells, and a good pair of running shoes. Of course, I always look like a slob...but that sure beats shopping!! blech...who invented it anyway? I have my own theory on THAT one!! (and it's NOT he one who said, "Don't covet"!!)<BR/><BR/>And I don't spend much on clothes that way either. Frankly, I'd rather spend my money on chocolate!KaraBeaglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09519711290091911234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16697270.post-35950341042947158912009-01-14T15:09:00.000-08:002009-01-14T15:09:00.000-08:00Em! I am so excited! I have been shopping at our...Em! I am so excited! I have been shopping at our local Goodwill for a while now and have found the funnest things. And our local Target has started giving their clearance items to Goodwill too so I keep finding brand new shoes with the tags still on! So now my goal is to find things with tags. I found a pair of pants from Banana for 5.99 with the tag still on and it was the color that was half price that month!!!!! I was super excited. Oh I wish we could go together!!! Darn! Everyone else laughs at me because I shop there (but I think they are just secretly jealous at what I find there. I will send you some pics)<BR/><BR/>And, the kiddos will do great at ice skating. Just tie their skates snug, and have them practice marching off the ice just a marching band. And to make it more comfortable for them, have them wear snow pants, gloves, and a helmet. Then they won't care if they fall. I posted a video of oli skating for the first time on facebook. HE did great! They are so resilient. Wish I could be there to see. Can't wait to see pictures!Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01017912202199524745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16697270.post-41455028958105791282009-01-14T14:49:00.000-08:002009-01-14T14:49:00.000-08:00BTW, I loved the last post.And about the shoes.

I am the queen of the resale/thrift store! I managed to dress in REALLY nice clothes for my job as a paralegal without ever spending more than $25.00 per outfit. I went to thrift stores, consignment stores (and bought off season when things were marked 50%+ off their already rediculously low prices.) Shoes, clothes, handbags, accessories, even perfume! WOOT!<BR/><BR/>Now be sure to share those finds...I wanna see! Great shoes, btw.<BR/><BR/>Peace & Love,<BR/>~Barb~Barb Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11879338992041413797noreply@blogger.com
