Retail Therapy

It's pretty sad when the only thing that can REALLY cheer me up is spending $450 at Gymboree, which is what I did today. But hey, I had a 50% coupon, so it was really $900 worth of stuff!!

Since I stopped selling on ebay (even though I really haven't stopped, but I've stopped buying to resell), I've been buying so little there. I kept telling the saleswomen there, who were finding it very odd that I wasn't spending money left and right anymore (even though I was coming by to visit, and check out the new lines), that I was waiting for a better sale, and that was true.

So when I got my Gymboree Visa bill the other day, it was $54.40. I routinely run up a grand or two a month, so this was laughable. I showed the bill to Ross and he said, "I'd expect them to send ME a card, extending their condolences on the loss of my wife."

Ah, it felt good to be buying stuff again, even if it's gifts or for Tessa. Using children's clothing as a euphoric may not be the healthiest thing to do, but as I used to say about my selling on ebay, as an addiction, it beats the hell out of crack.
