Teaholic not quite anonymous

First things first, I must give kudos to my Maddy. We went out shopping today and she was in the stroller and two different shopping carts and never once fussed. As a matter of fact, we even were in the TOY section and she was fabulous! That little girl never fails to impress me.

So yes, we went out shopping today. I'd call myself a shopaholic, but I don't shop that much so I can't really. But going out shopping honestly does give me a thrill. Is that pathetic??? No really, I am asking. Is it?

I mainly went out shopping to get Maddy a pair of dress shoes for church. The ones I JUST bought she outgrew. So I bought a new pair at Payless for her. Very cute and I bought a size bigger. I'd love for her to get more than 4-5 uses out of them since they are just for church anyway. They are a warm white (but not ivory, really). I bought myself a pair of airwalk flip-flops because they were so cushy and comfortable on my feet. My feet have been hurting lately since I've been standing in the kitchen barefoot (and no NOT pregnant!) lately. So I thought these would be great for in the house.

After Payless we stopped at Target. My other goal today was to buy Maddy new toys. Yes, toys. I sorted through her toys not long ago and realized that she still has so few toddler toys and so many baby toys. She was soooo good in the toy section. I was very impressed. I wound up getting a little people house for her along with a car and a Mr. Potato Head. What I really wanted wasn't there though--plastic food. They had wooden food but I didn't want that. I did find two pairs of dress shoes for Maddy on sale for $3.24 each at Target. They weren't what I wanted, but are definitely nice enough for that price. I also bought her a sweatshirt type coat on sale for $2.

Off to Walmart! I only braved walmart because Maddy had done such a nice job at both Payless and Target. I did buy a pack of cookies at the register at Target just to help me make it through Walmart. However, she didn't really care much about them. Now, if I had bought chips... I did find the plastic fruit I wanted at Walmart along with a plastic lawn mowing set, toy vacuum (which is so cute) and bug house set. Again, she was super good. Although, she did finish all her OJ while I was there so at that check out I bought a lemonade for the car ride home.

I did buy a few things for myself besides the flip-flops. I bought three sheer nail polishes since I've been into doing my finger nails lately. And I bought some underwear/bras. I'm ashamed to say how long it's been since I've bought stuff for myself that way, but suffices to say, it was long overdue! But fun, fun, I got pretty stuff!

Of course, I bought the usual house stuff too: cleaning supplies, antibacterial wipes, etc..

After Maddy's nap we went for a walk and at that point in time I realized I didn't have a small emergency kit for her stroller and I needed to go back to Target anyway, so I bought another one for her stroller, transfered one benadryl dissolve strip into it and also individual wet ones as well. So now the stroller is set (I already had sunblock and diapers).

Now I'm home, but it's amazing what a little shopping can do for me. I'd call it therapy shopping, but that's not the truth. It's not that I went out to shop to feel better (fortunately, that's not a downfall of mine). But I do feel quite a rush when I come home with goodies. Again, is that pathetic or what?

Oh! My mom got her mother's day gift today. Donna got hers last weekend (well, partially) so now I can talk about them. They both received the digital picture frame that I originally bought for just Donna. I tried hers out after uploading pictures/video to a memory card and loved it so much I went back and bought two more! one for my parents and one for us. It was a great deal and a really nice frame. I bought the cards to go with and uploaded pictures/video so they'd be able to use it right away. I also bought a set of coasters for my mom and I still am going to buy some for Matt's mom. But I wanted her input on pictures she wanted on them first.

Ok, I still have a couple things I want to do before bed tonight and hanging out with Matt. Have a good one!

WO of the day: 30 minutes elliptical
Tea of the day: Gloria Jeans Cinnamon Spice Black tea and Republic of Tea Panda Berry Herbal tea (which Maddy loves as well)
