Tuesday Update: Loopholes.
October 16, 2012
Minimizing my wardrobe is not going as well as I’d hoped. After being caught in a downpour with a too-small trench coat that I can’t zip up, I realized I needed a new trench coat. And I wanted a GOOD one, an investment piece. Not just something on sale that may or may not fit…

Tuesday Update: Fitness Broke Unshopping.
February 12, 2013
So much for my new habit! Getting healthy and fit is taking a toll on my wallet. It shouldn’t, except that I am a gadget geek, as is my husband. Last month, I bought a nifty little device that tracks my daily steps and calories burned. This month, I had an episode of sanctioned shopping…

Tuesday Update: Two Plus.
February 26, 2013
Remember last week, when I said I was only going to buy one top and one pair of pants for working out? Well, if you’ve been reading this blog, you know how well I do with sanctioned shopping. It was planned, I had “permission” to spend, and I had justification. I just didn’t have the…

Tuesday Update: Still spending, not saving.
May 14, 2013
In case you need a refresher, I listed my goals here. I’ve attempted to update on Tuesdays, but it doesn’t always happen. Sometimes I’m lazy. Sometimes I forget. Sometimes I’m just ashamed at how little progress I’ve made. This is one of those times, except that I’m posting about it. Last year when I started…

Silence is spelled r-e-l-a-p-s-e.
October 23, 2013
I’ve composed this post a million times in my head over the past couple of months. At first, it was “on vacation! too busy to post!” then it was “empty closet, nothing fits! how much should I buy?” then “help! I can’t stop shopping!” Now…it’s just guilt and shame. My last post was in July,…

Scattered.
March 25, 2014
There’s a reason I haven’t been posting. I am scattered, and struggling to keep myself together. This winter has been going on too long and I’m tired of being cold and unmotivated. I haven’t been able to work out regularly due to injury, schedule, and surgery. I’m still getting used to my work commitment, while…

What I Know.
March 28, 2014
Shopping. It’s what I do when I’m bored, tired, angry, anxious, annoyed, overwhelmed, or elated. It’s my default activity for when I want to feel something other than what I’m feeling. It’s my default activity, period. At some point during the winter, I started online window shopping again. It quickly went from sporadic to daily….

A Smile is Not Happiness.
April 25, 2014
Assume the worst when there is an absence of posts. Yes, I have been stuck in a maelstrom of shopping. Justified, and not. I need new spring clothing. But goodness, does any one person really need to spend so much time researching a pair of cropped pants? I had a great thought this week, and…

Partial Cave-in.
May 22, 2014
I don’t really know what category to put this in. It’s not a failure, but it’s also not progress. So, both for now. I did shop, but not at the sale that was tempting me. Let me explain, though I think I’ve mentioned this before and am not trying to gloat about it. I’m down…
