CR Sale

I went nuts and now I feel as poor as a church mouse. Not only was I waiting outside the doors of CR on Collins Street at 7.55am yesterday, I managed to cover 4 CR stores in ONE DAY!! CR on Collins Street first thing in the morning, CR Melb Central AND Myer at lunch time, and finally CR in GW at the end of the day. And on the day I actaully have something to look forward to coming home to, ie. mad dash to CR GW,...my train breaks down and we are left sitting on the tracks for about 15 minutes with no air con on a relatively stuffy and hot day. It's like I was possessed to BUY BUY BUY!

Got a doona cover, 4 pillow cases, 2 casual tops, 1 silk top, 1 (according to the other half a "fashion victim") coat, and 1 pinstriped 'what-to-wear-when-feeling-fat" top. Oh, and a hoodie for the other half. (Boring)

Of course, having the extra VIP 20% off sale prices helped too. Now I am broke.
:(

On another note

Don't know what's been up with me lately! Have been having these urges to BUY BUY BUY. I see SALE! signs in shops and I am hypnotized in to walking in and convincing myself to spend like I can afford it. I think my brief holiday back in February has unleashed the shopaholic me which I've been keeping under lock and key for the past 2 years. The logical side of me says that I have been wearing the same clothes for the past two years that so its about time for a cull of the wardrobe, hence the need to buy. Or this could just my pathetic way of justifying such impulsive behaviour. I mean, I've even convinced the other half to come in early tomorrow morning so that we can be at the 8am opening of the CR sale! I can barely get out of bed to get to work on time and I'm thinking I can be in early to shop before I go to work! Good luck to me.

Funny Observation

A friend, let’s call her Young Mom (YM) contradicted herself the other day while we were discussing the dynamics of a certain couple we know.

YM: So are you going to A & W’s engagement party? I think A’s weird. After that thing she said about YM (Young Dad) and me….
Me: What did she say?
YM: When she found out I was pregnant, she said to me “Maybe I should get pregnant like you so that W will have to marry me. I got really annoyed when she said that so I said to her that my pregnancy was planned, not an accident!

Back when she found out she had a bun in the oven she told me she burst in to tears upon leaving the clinic as she didn’t know what to do as she wasn’t expecting to fall pregnant. Funny how time can cloud someone’s memories. A bit of self-denial thrown in does not hurt either.

Regardless, I agree with YM - A is very anal and she could turn out to be a real Bridezilla!

Stuff

There is nothing like spending time in confined spaces to get to really know what someone is like. You might find that someone who projects that they are a nice, caring person really isn't very pleasant at all.

And there is nothing worse than seeing someone through new eyes, especially when you used to be really close to that someone and seeing how much they have changed. But I suppose you cannot control time and circumstance so I need to stop being bitter about it. I am also twisted because I just can't stand watching this person become so weak. When did it become acceptable to laugh at others when you are in the same boat yourself? I just wish this person would stop letting his balls get squeezed and become more of his own self. And I wish I could tell him what I really think about his other half but I know this will not happen.
