I planned on updating you all with my journal entries, but I was overtaken by a huge power. Guilt. I wasn't going to tell, but I will (because I know you are all just dying to know). My personal challenge is over. Which one, you ask? The no buying clothes for me challenge. I made it two looonnnggg months and while I didn't hold strong to my 6 month goal, I am so flippin happy it is over.
This cruise got the best of me. My Mom will love that as she is dying right now at the cost of the whole adventure and we aren't done paying yet. (On an aside...I was searching for hotel rooms in Venice. For days I couldn't find anything less than $400 per night that would accomodate our family of 4. Low and behold, the stars aligned and I scored a hotel for $200 that fits all 5 (our family + my mom) AND it offers great proximity to the ship AND free breakfast! 10 points for ME!
Anyway, I glanced quickly at my closet this morning. Appropriate spring/summer attire are missing. I needed a fix. Online shopping here I come. Thankfully there has been a glitch in my pay since I was hired, so they are cutting me a check. I used this little tidbit to convince my husband though he didn't appreciate the justification for such shopping. I immediately went to my favs--Loft.com and Oldnavy.com. Sadly, I was rather disappointed in both. I did buy a few things from Old Navy, but really. They didn't even have cute capris--colored skinnies? Yuck. No thanks. Cannot wait for my treasures to arrive.
So there you have it. I told all. 2 solid months. That was it. It only confirmed something I've known for sometime--I have very little willpower :)
