I am not sure what’s going on with me this year, but I am obsessed with boots! Perhaps it’s the fact that I’ve barely had any boots that I actually liked (other than Uggs!) in a very long time. Anyway, I found these and can’t stop looking at them. Not sure I’m ready to drop another 80 bones on them, but we’ll see.
I have a confession to make. I have been secretly obsessing over clothes for the past month.
“No biggie!” you might say. But it is. When I say obsessing, I mean it. I seriously thought about clothes most of the day every single day for at least a month. It’s so bad. Here’s the thing. I knew I was going to come into some money (by way of my birthday) and because I am on a limited budget*, I wanted to spend it on the right things.
I used to be a carefree shopper, but when I married my husband, I realized how important my purchases are (mainly because he cut me off) and started making better decisions. But this has caused one major problem. I obsess.
I obsessed about a certain pair of brown boots for at least 30 days. (Are you laughing? Because I am!) 30 DAYS! And I’m pretty sure if I mentioned them again to Bob, he’d tackle me.
I finally fessed up and told my friends and realized they do it too! My friend Anna (that’s right Anna, I’m taking you down with me!) told me that one night we went out she obsessed all day over what she was going to wear! My friend Gertrude (and you too, Gertie!) spends like 10 minutes trying on one item deciding if she’s going to buy it or not. She sits, she stands, puts her hands in her pockets, walks around the room, squats, does a quick yoga workout, etc. My little sister cries almost every time we go shopping, or even talk about clothes! Seriously.
Wow! Talking it through is making me not feel so bad about my horrible boot obsession! So, tell me, do you do this too? Are you as crazy as me?
*When I say budget, I don’t mean I have to call my husband before I buy something. I mean I have a certain amount I can spend each month and after it’s gone, it’s gone.*
Yes, I absolutely am in a Rose garden! One of my favorite spots!
Check it out Kendi! I found a bamboo forest! Bob insisted we take a pic for you since we were in love with your shots. 🙂

Do you remember in Clueless when Cher says she never trusts mirrors, so she takes polaroids? Well, I just learned my lesson with that one! I put on an outfit that isn’t me, typically. But I was feeling feisty and decided to give it a try. After Bob took photos, I realized why it wasn’t me. Because I don’t like it at all! Ha ha! Do you know what it’s like to be wearing something and then realize you don’t like it, but can’t change?
Um, yeah.
So, here are just a few pics of my face. Ha ha ha! Oh, and one of my sassy new boots that I’m pretty in love with.
