I Love New Stuff

The tribe is preparing to migrate north for a week. We are digging out long sleeved shirts and sweaters. Hope is the only one who seems to have any pants, which is ironic because she is the only one who has been here in Southern Florida for all but eight months of her little four year old life. Seems she is just the size to inherit all of Savannah's old (not worn out) warm clothes. The very short supply that we kept anyway.

I gave in to the Fat Gods and purchased a couple pairs of seriously comfy jeans from the discount store yesterday. I hated it the whole time I was doing it as I have a whole closet full of perfectly good jeans, they are all just three or four sizes too small at the moment. I also picked up a pair of really adorable slacks that are black with white pinstripes. They are so Benny and Joon. I am in love. So in love that when I realized the petite size was going to be too short to wear with heels and would look funny with my knee high boots I went back to see if I could exchange them for the regular length and couldn't find another pair so I just kept them and bought these which gave me double the pleasure as they were on the clearance rack for $22.00 and I would have absolutely had to have them either way. It will have to be an early Christmas present to me. I hope they will look okay with the pants. I also got a new lightweight black v-neck sweater to layer with my white fitted VS dress shirt with the cuffed sleeves. It should all look pretty nice together. I love to get new clothes. I love getting new shoes even more. Neither happens as often as it should. That is what happens when you grow up and get married and then have a bunch of kids and get a bunch of bills. Instead of manicures, facials and massages your big ticket items are getting your teeth worked on, dining room tables and new tires. Such luxuries. Speaking of which, damn Victoria's Secret to hell for sending me that promotional offer with the free luggage thing. Bastards. Tempting me with their cute totes. Totes that would come in so handy right now while I am trying to go on a trip. Hmph.

So yeah, going to Ohio. We are going to be there like five days and I am sure the whole week is going to be pure chaos. I called my mother and told her that I would like to see my brother if I could. I would be happy if we could all have dinner together one evening or something. I wonder if he will do that. Would be nice to have some semblance of a family to go "home" to. I also called one of my old friends and we are going to try to get together on her day off work. I think Terry plans to see some of his friends. We need to see his dad's mother. Other than that I think we will spend the rest of our time with Terry's side of the family. It will be a long long drive.
