I was so good today. SO freakin good. After class this morning, Ryan and I went to Tallahassee with a few of his friends so they could go to this um….card shop–the subject of which shall remain nameless for my own ego.
Anyway, we spent a significant amount of time in two malls. I paid for my supper, I bought a drink, and I spend $6 in a candy shop on some chocolate covered caramels and rock candy. The end. We hit this one shop that had so many pretties! Jewelry-wise and just cool stuff in general. I wanted to buy things. Lots of things that I did not need. I got lucky though–I found a really cute claddagh necklace I really liked, and at some point Ryan snuck back and bought it for me. [Okay, so he didn’t do a very good job of sneaking, ’cause I totally knew what happened, but ya know…] Anyway, yay for presents!
I like shoes, but I like really comfy shoes, not like, heels and overly cute stuff…anyway, I found about 15 pairs tonight that I was prepared to buy. I’m still not really sure how I managed to talk myself out of them.
I found a nice little stack of books I wanted to pick up too, but I thought it over and convinced myself that if I really wanted them, I could get them here in town. I’m proud of myself for that one!
We found a shop too, that sold personalized pens, pencils, mugs, cosmetic mirrors, etc–all that kind of stuff. Oddly enough, they actually had “Jade”! I never find my name on stuff unless it’s the stone or the color. I wish I hadn’t talked myself out of getting the pens. They were a little overpriced, but the only pens that don’t get stolen at work are the ones with my name on them. Maybe I’ll work in a trip to the mall when I go back for the Lifehouse concert.
I’ll admit that the first mall stop made me pretty grumpy. I spent a lot of time walking around by myself, not spending any money or really getting into any of the stores. Then when I thought Ryan was done, we set off to go elsewhere and he ended up just going back to the card shop so I walked around with two of his friends. Not what I had in mind when he talked me into coming so he could spend time with me.
I got over it though. The card shop is what we truly went for, and we were alone together for the whole ride and we all stuck together at the second mall.
I almost feel like a failure as a woman for turning away from so many shoes today.
