Day 2

Dum dee dum - at work, obviously NOT doing what I should be (which is figuring out some insanely complex excel formula "IF AND cell, cell + cell , IF AND, etc ERROR!"). I think I need a break. Interesting, so I sent you all a link to my new blog. I have officially become a blogger! Ha! In addition to all my addictions - maybe this one will also catch on.

My friends' reactions ranged from:
1. OMG, you gave up shopping?! How?!
2. You are so gay!
3. That is a great idea!

Either way, I hope you guys find this amusing. :) Luckily, some of you have committed to keeping me on track. So just so everyone is clear...this is only shopping (like pants, skirts, bags, shoes, etc). I can still eat out to my hearts desire and spend money on necessities like gas, groceries, necessary toilettries, etc. Not spending money would be a miracle that I don't think ANYONE who lives in Toronto could accomplish. How would one live???

So Today is Ash Wednesday. I'm not Catholic, but I don't mind giving up something for Lent...SHOPPING! Only Lent is 40 days, and I want to go approximately 70 days. So afterwards if I succeed, I will not only be richer, but also feeling a tad holy.

At lunch today, I was waiting for my friend at St. Clair and walked into Town Shoes. I saw a big "40-60% off selected items" sign. :P I was a good girl, I think I took about 10 steps inside and thought to myself...hmm...I don't think this would help. But, I did find something cool that made me think of Donna. I don't remember the brand name, but they had shoe clips! Like brooches for shoes. (I thought of your Miu Miu or Prada shoes that you lost the shoe brooch on. You can go there, get a pair and replace it so your shoes are wearable again). There were a couple cute ones. Only $15 bucks! :)

Anyways, off to the Opera with my mom. No worries there as there is absolutely nothing to buy. ;)
