Shopping 101

I'm addicted to shopping.

I own lots of jeans but only wear about 4 pairs. In many cases I have two of the same item...shoes included. Since the weight on my shoulders fluctuate like Oprah's I sometimes buy things in two different sizes.

I've included a photo of some of my clothes. But, I must confess: I am not only addicted to shopping I am also addicted to new clothes. I even leave the tags on some of them to make that "newability" (is that a word?) last. I really like the feeling of pulling a tag off of something and then wearing it. And! you can always return something if it's been sitting in your closet for two weeks and you realize you have nothing that goes with it. It makes shopping less expensive if you just trade stuff in and get something more current.

Do you see that yellow plaid skirt? I have it on today!! Isn't that exciting?? Wait. Don't answer that...I know I have a problem already but hey- at least I've admitted it.

I'm not done decorating that room though. Below is a picture my nephew painted in school- he calls it his "Picasso".

I've been collecting all his artwork and going to the Goodwill to find other famous art. So far I have 4 good paintings: Van Gogh's Irises, a huge Henri Matisse's Goldfish, a greek painting of some sort but really pretty and the gold frame is in excellent condition, and an extra extra large painting and I'm not sure who the artist is but it's really pretty and colorful.
