Retail Therapy

After such a negative post last time I wanted to let you all know that I got a mani/pedi, coffee, and new underwear. I feel great. The Captain said "Didn't you just buy underwear?" No. The last pair of underwear that I bought was a pair of plain cotton maternity underwear, hardly anything that makes you feel sexy or in the least bit good about yourself. And so what if I did just buy underwear. Victoria's Secret was having a sale. He relaxed when I told him I used a gift card.

I used a gift card for my nails too. I have a wallet full of gift cards that have accumulated from birthdays and Christmases long past. I never seem to find the time or energy to spend money on myself, not even when it's other people's money. I have some other errands to run today and I've decided that it's time. It's gift card day! The Captain will be gone and Mister and I are going to spend all day (or as long as he lasts) using as many of those cards as I can. I have a trip coming up and I think I could use a few new things.

Now, if I could get a shower we'll be all set
