« bad decorating | Back to Main Page | my resume, for Richard C. Davis »
I have a little problem. I just cleaned out my closet, and I think my shopping is getting out of hand. The floor of my walk in closet looked like an Old Navy barfed on it. Bags, receipts, sweaters I had shipped to me STILL in the packaging! I counted, and I have 24 pairs of shoes. Everything from fuck me pumps, to knee high boots, to $100 sneakers (still unworn!). I even have 2 pairs of Doc Martens that haven’t fit me since I had kids. One is a pair of black boots that I got when I was 17, the other is a pair of oxblood red low risers that I bought in Galway, Ireland. I think I’m the only person I know who keeps shoes for sentimental reasons!
For someone who goes to the office all of once per week, I’ve got enough to keep an entire office in clothing for a month. WTH do I buy so much? Two reasons I think:
1) Not having my OWN house right now is keeping me from buying house stuff. I refuse to buy a damn thing for a house that isn’t built yet.
2) Any time I get bummed / sad / moody - I shop. It makes me feel better for a bit. I don’t feel so hot when my charge card bill comes, but I figure as long as I’m paying it off montly, I’m good. I’m certainly not at a “Save Karyn” type level yet, so no intervention is needed! (My income isn’t enough to screw myself that badly). At least I recognize my trigger, right??
I’ve bought so much stuff recently, I’m out of hangers!

I’ve got extra hangers if you need them….;)
Well, if you ever get too bored.. and the need to spend.. you can always get me something.. :D… I mean.. I can volunteer.. you know for the greater good.
What you could always do.. if some hasn’t been worn, and you still have the tags, you can always return them!
We still need to get together and have lunch.. I have your Mom of the month present here.
I hate when I run out of hangers… but it does mean a trip to Target to buy more!
