This morning as I was getting dressed I noticed that my button up shirt is getting a little snug in the waist area. I think I have about a quarter of an inch before it becomes unable to be buttoned. So, I decided that I should call Katie this weekend and see if she was up for going shopping with me.

As luck would have it, her boss gave her the day off and she called me about 10:00 to see if I wanted to meet this afternoon to go shopping. I knew that our budget did not allow for large amounts of clothing, but also that I would need some eventually. I decided I would try to shop the sale racks and get as much for my money as possible.

I finished up the things I KNEW I needed to get done today and then headed out to meet her at noon. Our first stop, of course, was lunch. We were going to eat at the mall food court but I decided on the way out there that I would MUCH rather have Olive Garden. So, that is where we went. I only ate salad and breadsticks, but I ate LOTS of salad and breadsticks.

Then we headed back to the mall. I will be the first to admit that I got a little carried away. It was SOO nice to find clothes that fit me well and in all the right places. I also fit into mediums which totally boosted my self esteem!! When the 2 hour shopping excursion was done I did end up going a little over budget, but I figure if I need to, I will pull that money out of savings. Isn't it worth it to have clothes that fit you well and make you feel wonderful??

After I got done shopping I headed back to work and actually worked until 7:00 because Jake was working late, yet again!! (I will be SOOO glad when he starts the new job on Monday!!) Once I got home I got the mail and discovered that after his last accident the insurance agency had pulled his driving record and discovered what I knew all along. It was AWFUL!!

So, needless to say, I now have 10 days to find new car insurance. This turned a good afternoon into a pretty crappy night so I decided some comfort food was in order. I headed over to Wendy's and then called Jess on the way home because she wants to go shopping tomorrow. Yeah... like I need to spend MORE money!!
