Phew! I just got back from a shopping explosion, and I'm not exactly sure what just happened.
As I've mentioned in a couple of other posts, I'm in the process of transitioning out of a long-term relationship. My girlfirend-turned-roomate and I are still cohabitating (pending my closing on a town home early next week; keep your fingers crossed for me). She left town this weekend to hang with some friends over the holiday.
I went out to run some errands today, starting at Target to pick up a prescription. I looked at some furniture there, then drifted into the womens' section, just idly seeing what was on clearance.
Three hours later I'm walking out of Nordstrom Rack with a bag with two sweater dresses and a pair of flourescent pink Steve Madden pumps. I put it in my trunk ...along with five bags that already there from Target, Payless Shoes, and Walmart. :eek:
After years with my collection sealed away in boxes in the garage attic as I traded this all in for a relationship, the wind seems to have shifted. No longer obliged to the relationship, and with no watching eyes around, I seem to have busted loose in style (pun *possibly* intended).
It's been a long time since I let myself get wrapped up the the Pink Fog. It kind of took my by surprise: a pink fog bank so thick that it took me a few of hours before I spotted a pink lighthouse and navigated back out of it. (I wonder what a pink foghorn would sound like...)
Anyway, we've had a few threads talking about purging fairly recently, so I thought I'd let you all know that as of today I've done my share to balance the cosmos (and possibly the economy) by indulging in a *major* binge. Felt good; I deserved it. I can't wait to get these things into their new home, introduce them to their imprisoned sisters, play fashion show for as long as I feel like, then give them all a place to proudly be stored. :heehee:
