Women Be Shoppin’

It feels good to sit here without fleas jumping onto my legs. In the past week, the house became infested with fleas; mainly the living room. I dreaded waking up in the morning because I’d HAVE to pass through the living room to get to the bathroom. I’d sprint across as fast as I could and would still have fleas sprinkled all over my legs. It was hideous. So tonight, after Mary got back from going with Yadira and Yazmin to get her top braces done, we collected all the animals, took them to the (empty) apartment, set up the foggers in her house and our house and went to Yadira’s for 4 hours. We ate (nachos!) and watched videos of Angela and of all of their family in general of the past few years.

This morning Mario woke up in a crappy mood, again, which of course put me in a bad mood. I was going to Target with Mary (Mario decided he’d get his shoes later when he had time to try them on and junk), but she didn’t have her van so we dropped Mario off so we could use the Sentra. He was huffing and puffing all the way over there, so I just ignored him. He ended up getting me a Frappuccino and “Q” taco from Circle K, so I sort of forgave him, heh. Bribe me with caffeine and I’m putty in your hands . We dropped him off at work, then went to deposit money at the bank and went to Target. I needed to get Mario some lounge shorts and a new hoodie sweater for myself–perferably in pink–some sleep shorts and two tanks for the stripped collared shirts I bought from JCPenny on Thursday:

They’re sort of see-through, so I really needed those. I got what I “needed” and some extra stuff, too. I sort of went over-board , but my excuse was I haven’t shopped for clothes in over a year. I had no desire to buy new clothes ever since I gained weight, but I said ‘fuck it’ and decided hell, this is me and I’m not going to wear T-shirts (as cute as all my T’s are) forever. So, here’s what I got for myself:

I’m returning that first slip-dress type shirt, since it was too big (tried it on over my clothes at the store) and am debating whether I should exchange it for the Cheer Bear cub or one of the Hello Kitty purses I saw. I’m also returning the pink suede flip flops, since they don’t match any of the “pink” clothes I have. I loved the color, but I figured I’d barely wear them, so I’m going back for the brown ones. I’d get the regular $2.99 pink ones, which would match most of my clothes, but I’ve already bought those same flip flops two years in a row and they end up hurting after a while .

I ended up buying Jaylen a Mega Blocks bus, some Yugioh cards for Eenan, some magnetic picture frames for the fridge from the dollar section and some scrapbooking supplies from the dollar section, too. I couldn’t pass those up . But, I must be stopped. It’s not like me to go psycho when I’m shopping. I was scared to tell Mario how much I spent but he wasn’t mad. He was shocked, but not mad LOL. Speaking of Mario, he’s still not home yet and I need a shower. Jorge is supposed to bring him home. He’s over there right now and they’re trying to figure out how to install Jorge’s new garage door opener. We went over there last night after we left Cata’s get-together (where I was told I looked FAT in a picture, thankyouverymuch), and it was all cool till I was told to explain something and then was VERY RUDELY interrupted. Those who know me, know I could punch someone in the face when they interrupt me. Needless to say, I just shut up and stayed quiet the rest of the night before I said something offensive. That just really gets to me.

Anyway, going to clean up a bit more before heading to bed.

OMG I adore Target to no end. It’s my world *sigh* LOL I used to be the same way about buying clothes. “Why reward myself for looking like a fatass”. My mentality changed and I realized I’d like to look my best no matter how big I am (and I’m 10LB lighter as of Thurs. heheh) But yeah, you gotta feel good about yourself. If anything, you’ll have “wasted” money buying stuff and then losing weight. I think that’s a waste I wouldn’t feel bad about! Glad you got yourself some stuff, especially with warm weather fast approaching! You deserve a treat mama!

Cute clothes!

You do not look fat! At all. You’d have to gain like 50 pounds more before you even started looking that way 😛 You must stop obsessing over this!

Those are cute clothes. I especially like the blue striped one. Where’s my spending money too? 🙂 We have $38.40 in the bank right now. Luckily we got paid on Friday. How rude of someone to tell you that you looked fat!!! @$%#. Glad you had a fun shopping spree. I’ll try to get online more after I get rid of my ear infection and get my algebra grade under control. 🙂 Take care!

Its too bad about the fleas problem. Those things are so gross! But at least you got to get out of the house and go shopping. That always makes things a bit better. =)

Hey I love to shop. I went yesterday but I think I overspent and that isn’t good:( I feel like returning some stuff too. Those block buses for kids are cute. Too bad Frederick throws them everywhere.
