hahahah Glad it's not just me! Cat is giving me makeup & hair lessons over the internet! I'm sooo clueless...But I did have fun at Ulta the other day....
Seriously, I just decided I needed to stop "waiting" to take care of myself - kwim? I'm always waiting....till I lose weight, till we have more money.,,till the kids have everything they need.....till hell freezes over....whatever...I'm just tired of always being 900th on my list of people & things to take care of. I didn't used to be like that. I'm not sure if it's just getting caught up in everyday life, or if it's the combination of raising 2 kids, still mourning the one that died, dealing with Lupus, or Mike really poopooing my spending when it's for myself...Regardless...it stops NOW. I told Mike, if he can golf, fish, buy himself clothes & whatever....I can go to Disney, scrap & buy myself stuff too...& you know what he said ? " well, that's the Chris I married, where've ya been? "...So I'm serioulsy going to make an effort to take care of my own wants/needs better...not saying I can go bust the bank...but within reason.
hmm, didn't realize I stepped up on my soapbox there.
I wish it wasn't pouring...Casey & I need to go shopping for some shorts & spring stuff for her. But the mall she likes is outdoors!blah...maybe we'll wait till next weekend.
Oh, Chris...I need remedial lessons from you too! I am so awful with spending money on myself. I don't wear makeup just because I never really learned (mom/grandma never wore it), and I have really good skin. Its just now that I'm about to leave my 20's, I'm starting to notice some blahness to my skin. DH and I were just talking about this today, how we get to the Walmart checkout and its $80 and I feel wrought with guilt...and I didn't even buy anything for myself. He doesn't give it a second thought. I work so hard to save every penny, and he'll pay someone to walk out to the mailbox to get the mail if he could. I just want to say F-it (I don't swear, but I couldn't think of the alternative), and go on a credit card shopping spree or something, but I can only really spend money when it is for others, not me. So give me some of your moxie!
