Not a Good Girl!

Did that title grab your attention?  *chuckles*  Well, I'm not a very good girl.  Maybe I should say I'm not a very girly girl.  I'm not much of a shopper.  Going to the mall?  Just isn't my thing to do when there's nothing to do.  Don't get me wrong, when I was in  my 20s .....  once a week wasn't enough!  In fact, for a while, it was our 'thing' to head to the mall for dinner in the food court -- everyone got to pick what they wanted from wherever and momma didn't have to cook 8 different meals!  After eating, we'd wander around, look at things.  But I lost interest in looking at things - maybe because I knew I couldn't afford them.  Or maybe it was because I already had enough things, and didn't need to add any more.  I know, we all need an upgrade now and again.  And yes, I'm pokey on that as well. 

This morning, however, I needed to return a pair of shoes I bought on a catalog order.  I've never had trouble with a pair of New Balance shoes before, but this pair hurt my feet on the very first day.  And at $50, I wasn't willing to "get by" with them til I wore them out.  After doing my return, I wandered into the clothing section -- mostly the clearance section -- and found some work pants (khaki required!) and decided to try them on.  Yep, I'm down two sizes and BOY! was I excited!  hahaha.  Granted, when you purchase things from a real "label" they tend to fit better than some of the other, uh, walmart type clothing.  So, 2 pair of khakis and a new pair of jeans... Yay!  

Then I headed down to the shoes ... and found a pair of New Balance that felt better, so I'm trying them.  They'll be work shoes.  And found another pair of very lightweight running shoes.... that feel like I'm walking on heaven.  They're Addidas, and I've never been a fan of their shoes before, mostly because they didn't feel as if they fit well.   When you lose weight, do your feet shrink?  I believe they do ;)  Can't wait to get to the gym to try them out!  24-hour fitness in the morning, anyone?  *grin*
