R.I.P

Alas. . .

Due to circumstances of maturity and responsibility beyond my control, I am forced to bid farewell to endless days of shopping indulgence.

Goodbye horrific (yet convenient) Lakeside, tootles a-ha(I remeber when you were down the block), shoenami, naaz, tomato, hemline, ele, trashy diva, winky's. . .I'll miss you all.

And I was just getting geared up to do some damage. I shipped out a literal trunk-ful of goodies to Olivier's momma that were not really my thang anymore. The closet is so empty now. And I freakin gave it all away. No matter, it didn't really fit anymore anyway. Some of it was almost ten years old. Damn.

But most of all I'll miss the places I hadn't quite made it into yet. Time is just so sparse these days. Lucky magazine actually just did a spread about shopping in New Orleans and there was a few spots I wanted to see for myself. Oh well, not any time soon.

Curses.

Maybe husband's salary negotiations will end soon and I won't have to be mature anymore. I like the sound of that. mmmmmmmmmmmm.

If anybody actually reads this, feel free to post. It may be changing subject matter, as I must pinch pennies until circumstances improve.

I could get a job. . . but then when would I shop??
