2 Things

There are 2 things you should never be when going shopping: hungry or depressed.

And God have mercy on your checking account if you happen to be hungry and depressed while shopping.

At least I didn't buy the shoes. Oh, but how I still want to. $30 ankle boots...black...with a modest heel...very hot shoes...I can almost hear them calling me from Kmart...AHHHH!!!!!

LOL!

Resist the temptation my sister. I am here for you. I'll help! "No shoes for you! You need money first!" There, does that help? If it doesn't, I would suggest that you watch the new Veggietales video, "Larryboy and the Bad Apple." It's a lesson in temptation.

They must look very tempting, there in the window saying "Come and buy me". It's an example of willpower.

Buy me...buy me!! You know you want to!!! We're so useful. We'll serve you for the next two to three years at least!!! :-D

*grins* - seriously though. Only buy them if you need them. And if you still like them in a week's time. When you're not depressed anymore. If you're anything like me, finding shoes you like is like, a once in a ten year occurence...

But Cliff - do you know how often it is that I find shoes that are actually comfortable for my feet??? :P

Jean-Luc: they are very tempting!

Kat! you so funny! You give some good advice though [you too Cliff, I was just razzing you above]

NO don't do it. They would have given you blisters. I'm sure of it.
Happy weekend.

I'm pretty safe in Kmart from spending but for some reason Walmarts are very dangerous for me, Ciera. I always want to buy things there. It's good that you remained strong!

Oh my dear. I have gone shopping whilst hungry and depressed too many times. I feel for you. Hey, if the shoes keep you from eating $30 in cheesecake, I would opt for the shoes. Whatever works, keep on trucking, it's all we can do!

Utenzi: I've been in Walmart at 3AM with the boyfriend more than once, cuz we're like, night people and it's the only place open that late, so I know just how it goes in Walmart too!!! The Pump and Pantry is also open that late so we can get pizza at that time of night too!

Shelley: good point! lol

A Situation

Ok. I need to think out loud here for a bit while I wait on email. I have a situation going on that could become tough. A bit of background: About 2 years ago, a single man started coming to my church and showed an interest in me. It lasted about a month and a half, with him giving me mixed signals all the time...since I have been praying for a husband for a while now, at the time, it seemed like my prayers were being answered despite the confusion. It all came down one night about midnight in his parking lot and I haven't talked to him since. He only stayed around for another 7-8 months, and those were very hard months. He lied to me and mislead me, often. Like it was second nature for him. It was made even more traumatic by a discovery of mine on a website shortly after he left the area. In September 2005, I had a blind date that was far from fruitful. My singleness and desire to be married is known to all in church, and so... To the present: Yes, another single man has walked in

Types of Friends

The other night, the friend that I watch tv and movies with was sharing something she had learned from a MOPS meeting. About the two different types of friends. Since that discussion, I've realized that there are at least 2 more types of friends and goofball that I am, I thought I'd share it all with you! Don't you feel lucky and special? :) 1. Mushroom Friends : These friends spring up over night and are in our lives just for a season. Kind of like the friends I made in school. The season is way over as I didn't even get Christmas cards from them this year [yes, I sent them cards]. 2. Oak Tree Friends : These friendships develop slowly, starting out small and laying down deep root systems. They last forever no matter how far apart the friends grow; time, distance, oceans and death cannot break the bond of friendship. They are the kind that years after being out of communication, if they heard you were in trouble {death in family, illness, etc...} they would drop stuff

My Happy Face

There is something wrong in this world when they steal the magnetic smiley face off the back of your car. Which someone has done. But, I only rolled my eyes heavenward and said, "Whatever!" Must be the neighborhood kids were bored or something.
