indulgences

So today was a very exciting day in my world. I went shopping. That's right, that is why I am excited. I know it's not much to be excited about but I'm excited anyways. I went to Home Outfitters (love that store) and spent way too much money and it was awesome. Cassidy is still a little choked because I didn't buy her anything but she's dealing with it. I bought new sheets (finally). Last year for Christmas I got this gorgeous comforter from my parents and it's kind of a beige and chocolate brown color and the only sheets I had were blue. horrid, I know. So today I bought brand new, 400 thread count Egyptian cotton sheets. It's only 8:30 and I want to go to bed! And I bought new towels. I got those huge, fluffy bath sheets and bath towels and hand towels and by that time I decided that I just didn't like the shade of blue my bathroom was decorated in so I had to get new mats and everything. My bathroom just got a little facelift. I also got a new blanket for my new couch. I got new furniture last month, so had to get a couch blanket to go with it. And I got a new phone. This one was actually almost a necessity. It was to the point where I could not talk on the phone for longer than 10 minutes without the battery running out. So I needed a new one. Wow, I was just reading through this and would like to clarify that I'm really not that spoiled at all. I rarely spend money on myself, most of it goes to bills and Cassidy, so today was a special little treat!

After my shopping spree, I took Cassidy to the theatre to see Happy Feet. Really cute show to take your kids to if anyone is interested! I think kids movies might be one of my favorite things about being a mom. I love kids movies, especially in theatres. But even better than the actual movie were the previews. Well, one preview in particular. It's only January and they're already showing previews for Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. So psyched. I think I actually whooped and clapped when the preview came on (cringe). But I didn't care. I am obsessed with Harry Potter these days. Ever since JK Rowling announced the title of book seven. It'll be Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows for anyone who cares. Anyways, I am waiting with bated breath for the announcement of the release date of book 7 and also for July 13 when The Order of the Phoenix is out in theatres. I get little butterflies just thinking about it. It really doesn't take much to make me happy. After the movie, we went to Chuck E. Cheese's. I've never been there before and it was ridiculously fun. Ridiculously expensive, but fun nonetheless.

I'm listening to the Rockstar Supernova cd and i must say I'm disappointed. It's really not very remarkable at all. There are a few decent tracks but for the most part, I don't think the group was successful in reaching their goal, which was to release music that was revolutionary. I think Tommy should leave that to Motley.

Anyways, friends, I'm off to pour myself a glass of wine, cuddle under my new couch blanket and watch The Devil Wears Prada. Take care & God bless.

luv,
meg.

How could it not be exciting to spend money on yourself? I wish I could go on a little shopping spree like that. Sigh. I was glad to see a new post. Thanks.
