Confessions of a Shopaholic

Today I went shopping. AGAIN. This may sound like I am exaggerating but...I AM ADDICTED TO SHOPPING! No joke. When I am happy..I shop. When I am sad...I shop. When I want to take a load of stress off...I shop. When I am bored...I shop. To put it simply, I always go shopping. I would shop 24 hours a day if I could. When I enter a store I get so happy. The fact that there is SOMETHING in that store that I will love just makes me so happy. And the process of searching and hunting for that said item makes me even more happy. It's starting to become extremely difficult for me to leave a store without buying SOMETHING. Sure I feel guilty about spending so much money, but when I get home and spread my purchases all over my bed to look at them..the guilt goes away and pure happiness sets in. I just might need an intervention...

My mother is the BEST!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO MY WONDERFUL MOM!


Ten reasons I love my mom:
1. She ALWAYS puts everyone else before herself. Always.
2. She's very nice to everyone- and everyone LOVES her!
3. She played 70's music while I was growing up thus launching me into a musically appreciative life!
4. When she does something, she does it well and extremely thorough. I think back to my dances in high school where she would literally run around town just for me, so my day was perfect.
5. She always roots for the underdog and finds the good in everyone.
6. She always made a home cooked meal while I was growing up.
7. She's a clean freak ( I know what you are thinking mom...and YES I actually love that about you! haha)
8. She doesn't miss any important event in my life or my siblings' life (Who else would show up to every one of my Spelling Bees, Battle of the Books, County Fairs, Talent Team/band performances etc, etc. ?)
9. She's GORGEOUS! Did you know my mom is 47? Yeah I didn't either. She looks 30!
10. And probably the most important of all...she has put up with me and my messy self for 20 years! :)
