Day 9 of 61: The Lust List
First I'd like to say, WHY AM I STILL IN SINGLE DIGIT DAYS??? Hmph! Double hmph! I know, "hang in there chicken lump, just one more day." But honestly, for the love of peanut butter...this is sooooo freakin' long! Why not 31 days? Is it too late to adjust the number? (oh the wicked thoughts)
To say I'm getting impatient would be a mild understatement, my friend. I sometimes find myself staring at shop windows with glassy eyes, in a complete hypnotized daze. I wish I could say that I feel less tempted, but I'd be a hairy liar. Hairy, in that I have a luscious head of hair. Frizzy, but luscious, if that's possible.
All that time spent suctioned to shop windows, I've come up with a list. Yummy.....list time! If only I could, check, check, check a box! Just the thought makes my sleepy behind perk up! This list is my lust list, my naughty list of "pretty, pretty, pretty please husband, can you treat me?" list.
Drum role please.
1. Charcoal skinny pants
2. Over-the-knee boots (sexy asian, watch out!)
3. Grey boots with a 2" heel
4. Purple boots
5. Studded black boots
6. Burberry trench coat (this will be on this list for a while)
7. Michele watch band (the animal skin ones)
8. Turtlenecks (I want them, but I'd complain about how they squish my asthma)
9. Anything Maxmara
Have I inherited an inheritance I don't know about, or is this list really far-fetched? See! When I can't shop "reasonably," I end up hallucinating.
Anyways, continuing on.....
10. Four belts (two doesn't sound like enough)
11. Escada pink ruffle dress
12. Bare Essentials mascara
13. Anne Fontaine white shirt
Okay. Stop! This list is insane. It's like an alcoholic listing her favorite drinks. I'm done. Ah hah! I caught myself. Like that? Uh huh. I'm getting stronger. (high five) (in the air) (down low) Oh yeah!
Blogs are defined by blah, blah, blah. So, I think I'm done blabbing for the day.
Before I go, please pray for my health. I think I have bad sugar levels, either high or low. I've been really light-headed for four days straight! I'm nervous to go to the doc tomorrow, especially because my main doc isn't available until the 21st. He's sooo popular. Eck! So, if you believe in it, I'd be grateful for your thoughts.
Hmmm...shopaholic and hypochondriac. You wish you sick person you. NO, I'm not a hypochondriac! How do I know? Like I tell my boyfriend, "if I was a hypochondriac I wouldn't always get it right!"
Goodnight,
Discouraged Shopaholic
P.S. Shout out to the smelly people

You're in my prayers Donna!
ReplyDeleteMy lust list would include pretty much anything Michael Kors. Especially one of his beautiful, buttery leather camel bags.
But I digress, we are encouraging you not to shop! And you're doing amazing.
Best,
Sarah
PS - One thing I've found that works for decorating my home or myself on a budget is to shop my closet (basement/storage area, etc.) Move things around, try something with something else you haven't thought of. I'm sure you have a pair of charcoal gray pants and black boots. Are they skinny? Maybe not. Are they studded? Maybe not. But combine them together with some chunky silver jewelry (mimicking the studs) - maybe a charcoal pencil skirt (??) and you'll get the same effect. It'll work. You're in the double digits tomorrow.
You are in my prayers (as always) concerning your health. Stay strong, you're almost there.....kind of. Well you're closer than you were before you started! If you gave up we wouldn't have great commentary to read! I'm sorry but I think the mascara is ok to purchase.....if you could only purchase one! A girl has gotta have the lashes,lol.
ReplyDeleteAnyhow, People say what they mean when they are upset and ill take your words to heart and move on but keep up the amazing job with your blog, its my morning ritual to read it while sipping tea on my way to work!
You are in my prayers! I hope the doctor goes ok! Thanks for the shout out for the smelly people! LOL
