Just to give you a little perspective, the worst ting that happened to me today was I got to the shoe store exactly two minutes after they locked the door... :(
What I need to tell you is why I was at the shoe store...
I awoke this morning with eager anticipation of my annual bonus hitting my checkbook, which it did. That was great news.
Unfortunately, the child support office took half of the bonus and gave it to the ex. Boo Hoo... which turned out to be good news because it paid off the past due balance and the draft from my check will actually be going down which is good news.
Life likes balance, you know. :)
So, I finished my project at work on schedule, definitely good news and, of course, had to celebrate...
What to do next???
I have extra cash. I am effectively getting a small raise in my take home pay and I finished my project. This calls for something special.
There happens to be a Stein Mart on my way home and I have never been there. I have heard good things about this chain being TG friendly and I'm feeling brave so off I go.
I walk in the door and start to browse the women s section looking for something special. After about five minutes of aimless wandering, I ask an SA for help finding a nice skirt with a cute top. She asks, "What size is she?" I reply, "Well, they're for me." She doesn't even bat an eye and off we go.
To make what is turning into a long story a little less long, I came home with a really cute pink skirt with a black top and a black cover up type jacket. The jacket doesn't really go with the skirt and top but it was so pretty I had to have it. I am celebrating after all.
unfortunately, I do not have any black shoes( I hate it when I purge) so off to Payless I go.
As I said, I got there two minutes after they locked the door.
All in all, however, I think it was a pretty amazing day.
What do you think?
:hugs:

PS.
I seriously doubt Payless will run out of black shoes by the time I get there. :)
