Shopping!

I like to shop. Having a little girl has put a whole new spin on this activity and it's a lot of fun. Today my wonderful husband took me to the outlet mall. He wore Thea in the Ergo and watched the boys so that I could actually look around. I was in desperate need of some new clothes. We went into Ann Taylor first and I felt like a little kid playing dress up. Most everything was for the working woman or at least the woman who attends lots of afternoon charity functions. While I like to look nice, I think it would be silly of me to wear dress trousers and blouses for staying at home. It was kind of discouraging because I assumed it meant that after practically 4 years of wearing maternity clothes I no longer knew how to shop for myself! We headed to gymboree and carters (I have no problem shopping for the kids) and then to the Gap. Whew! What a relief! Nice clothes I can wear everyday. The most exciting part was when I got up to the register and the jeans I was getting were only $9.99 instead of the $27.97 that they were marked! I was also able to find smooth soled shoes for the Salsa class for $6.

Now it may seem materialistic that I am posting about shopping...but actually, it just means that I hardly ever get to go.
