God is GOOD!

Warning- this post is all about shopping. If you find this boring you might want to just come back another time.

So yeah, Andrea and I went shopping yesterday. She wrote about it on her blog. You might want to go there first, because I'm not going to repeat what she said.

I have never enjoyed shopping so much, or had it be so productive! The best was of course J.Jill. I have always enjoyed looking at J.Jill catalogues and imagining how nice it would be to buy things from them. I was expecting to do the same thing in the store- just a chance to windowshop. But we bought so much stuff in there! We were in the store forever, looking at the racks, carrying loads of things to the dressing room, and trying them all on. The bestest for me was a cool brown skirt (retail value $99.99) which was marked down repeatedly until it reached somewhere under $20. It fit! It looked good! I loved it! I took it to the checkout and it was another 25% off! Yep, I paid under $12 for it.

We got out of J.Jill with bags of stuff and I said to Andrea, "Now I just need to sit down somewhere and cry." Cry out of sheer happiness of course!

But we kept going! More good stuff at the next store. In fact, I think I got almost everything on the list of needs I had started out with. And you should see the funky shoes I bought for $10!

Now I can actually understand all those girls who spend hours in the mall. :-)
