Or as CP so aptly phrased it, "We're all mad here."
But especially in the TK household. Because my Disney Shopping order arrived. Oh yes, it arrived.
I was
and couldn't wait to open all my goodies.
And I did.
And then I tryed some on. Meh.
And I looked at the bag.
And then I
thinking maybe I was in a bad mood, somewhat hormonal and suffering from, I wish I was in Disney World right now! See, DH was supposed to work today, the grand ole fourth of July. I actually planned my work schedule around this, and didn't take this whole week off, because I thought, well, we won't be able to go on vacation anyway.
Right?
WRONG, my friends! His work for this evening got cancelled. Which made me happy, because he's here, but oh so sad...because I could have been in Disney World this week. I know, I know, spoiled, and selfish, and
, but we had actually entertained the notion of going this week so DH wouldn't have to miss work in September, DS wouldn't miss one of his first weeks of preschool (by the by, would you all keep your fingers crossed on this whole potty training thing because so far he's only pooped on the toilet once...:::sigh::
, and even though it was more expensive, it was something we were willing to consider because we've been there at this time of year before...granted it was our honeymoon, and actually not minded the heat so much. (Neener, neener long sentence award. Thou shall be mine!)
So here I am, mulling in my thoughts. Ruminating so to speak, and very betwixt and between about the whole shopping order.
I won't post the pics again, but y'all remember the bag? Looked sooooo cute online. In person, still cute, but it has no structure to it. It's like a vinyl/nylon, and will basically take the shape of whatever you put in it. I am really, really hard on my bags. And I know you'll all laugh at me that I even ordered this one, but there's a very lovely D&B black tote sitting in my closet that I've never even used that would probably serve my purpose much better. Since it has structure. And is well constructed. And will withstand the tortuous trials I will put it through holding all my carp, like plans of attack and ropes and things.
So the bag goes back.
And the shorts. Oh, so flippin' cute! But on me?
The problem is, I'm in between sizes. A medium is too snug for me to even consider being comfortable in public, and the large, even after shrinking in the drier is too big. So back they go. Alas, cute shorts...I knew you well...for about two days.
My
was waning.
As a matter of fact, I was feeling a little
So I tried on the tank tops. Oh, the peril! Well, I'm definitely not a medium in those either, because if they shrank that'd be the end of it. I wasn't fond of the knotted top part on the yellow one, my bra strap is clearly showing and as a former VS girl, that's a big no no.
So I tried on the Cleo tank. Which was oh so cute. But the large was too big. So I tried to shrink it. And I did. And now it has crossed over my comfort zone. It's just not a fit I'm used to, much too high on the neck, and I feel like it's riding up in my armpits in a way that no tank top should. Sadly, the length was perfect. The graphic of Cleo...perfect. The comfor level.
Doh!
So...it all goes back.
Oh, the drama. Oh the shopping horror!
Oh the money back in my pocket. Ooo, that's something to be happy about! Let's throw in some
Except that money in my pocket doesn't sit there for very long...especially when I finally figured out the 20% shoebuy code that only works today...and then went on Kohl's site, and perhaps found a little something else....
Ahhhh....to dream the impossible dream...
that'll I actually order something and it will fit/look nice/be comfortable.
Sounds nice right?
Then, I remember...
WE'RE ALL MAD HERE!!!!!
And that the trip binder's coming together!
to the corporate gods that you get out early.
You know I love the "We're all mad here!" shout out!!!
