Shopping

DH, the kid, and I went shopping today. It had been a long time since we've gone shopping. I used to shop a lot for fun, but am now trying to pay down debt from my freewheeling youthful spendthrift days.

I still enjoy shopping, to an extent, but it's really no fun when I feel guilty for every purchase, even if I pay with cash (which is what I try to do these days). The dog got a new toy, since his favorite sheep is nearly torn to pieces. I got a couple of sale toys for DD, a doll and a deck of cards with 52 dog breeds on them. For myself, I bought a new pair of boots. Yep, boots are back in style. No, they are not snow boots. They are just a pair of cute black boots, flat, not high-heeled, and come up to about my knee.

Anyway, I didn't even set foot in a bookstore. Can you believe that? So no books for me. My To-Be-Read pile is a mile high.

The only downside to our day out is that when we got home, DD promptly came down with the puke plague. It never fails: whenever we go to Wal-Mart or anywhere that is not our house, DD gets the plague. I hate feeling so helpless! Hopefully, it will be fast and she'll feel better soon.
