Consumption vs Consumption…

By jen

Ok, I headed into this weekend sounding like Doc Holiday and convinced I needed an iron lung to survive.  In fact I walked around telling people I have consumption for days.  God it was horrible and I am still not feeling 100% but thanks to nyquil and plenty of rest this weekend I should be functioning this next week at work.  That said…  While I was in fact suffereing from consumption I also did my part for the economy and indulged in retail consumption.  Yes yes I did… are you ready for it?

NINE PAIRS OF SHOES!  Yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss….

I am giddy with it.  Dillard’s has an amazing sale this weekend and ooooooh ladies, it was a religious experience.  I should take pictures of them and post them, but I am lazy and have consumption… *cough cough…  Also, I had to run by Neiman’s and get the rest of my Laura Mercier make up I put on hold last weekend so I could buy it this weekend and get the free gifts!  I hit the MAC counter on the way out of Dillard’s today because I loves me some MAC eyecolor and lipstick.

Also in our economic consumption this weekend, Daughter No 2 got some Ed Hardy sneakers because her step father is a sucker and much nicer than me.  I rationalized it only by knowing she is going to leave them lying around and I am gonna snag em for myself.  My ten year old wears the same size shoe as I do, God have mercy…

You remember Daughter No 3, right?  The one with the broken arm?  Yeah well guess what her step father agreed to buy her this weekend?  Yes… you guessed it.  HEELY’S!  Yes, I plan on blaming him and punishing him when we are back to the orthopod in a few weeks getting a cast on the other arm.  I am just not going there, but she loves them and well, she is pretty hard to excite and she tells the best Knock Knock Jokes.

Daughter No 4, well she got some new clothes because she is not into shoes yet, she likes dresses and hoodies so we hit The Pumpkin Patch and she made out like a bandit.  Yay, team!

Anyway, I would like to end this weekend with a final word for our President and his doom and gloom administration.  FUCK YOU.  Some of us actually work for a living and choose to stimulate the economy the old fashion way, with our own money.
