Back from doing some shopping. Feeling appropriately Scrooge-ish.

I was baaaaaad...spent a lot of money on ME. Some of it was almost justifiable...

For one thing, now that I'm starting that running thing, I needed shoes...the ones I had from before are literally falling apart. I stoopidly bought a pair of Nike's a year or so ago when I was getting into walking again, but they are murder on my feet. Ten minutes and I'm in severe pain. I only got 'em 'cause they were wayyy on sale and felt more or less OK in the store. Dumb move.

So I splurged at got some very similiar to my well-loved old ones, which I guess I should through out now. The soles are peeling off. But they were good shoes! *snif*

I didn't want to spent that much, but they were half price and it's motivation!

I also got a few chocolates at the candy store and a jar of blue cheese-stuffed olives. Mmmmm...

Um...lots of typos and spelling errors. I think I didn't sleep enough last night.

Do olives have caffeine? I could go for a few more of those... ;-)

We did a bunch of errands... rented some DVDs to watch with the bothers this evening while parents are out. I'm such an evil girl... Rankin-Bass "Return of the King" and X-Men 2, which they can't watch because Hugh Jackman is too cool.

Scale was only barely down, so I'm sulking today. And eating fake chocolate.

blue cheese-stuffed olives

Those sound yummy!!
Why not hang on to your old shoes and use them for working in the yard? You can always duct tape the gaping parts! ;o)
