Last Friday, I cleaned and packed for my upcoming move virtually all day. My room and car sparkled by 9pm. I also sorted through papers and my filing system and got rid of all excess. I guess the cleaning made me feel free or young or something. This was proven on Saturday during an outlet shopping jaunt when all of the sales people seemed to think I was quite a bit younger than I am. They greeted my mother and ignored me at a restaurant and in several stores. A sales guy at the Polo outlet called me "miss" rather than the usual "ma'am". At Barnes and Noble, the sales girl tried to get my mom to sign up for their discount program by stating that "Even your college student [looking at me] can use it!" Hee!
And now I find myself wanting to shop, shop, shop. I've bought more in the last two weeks than I have in the last two months. I'm allowing myself a bit of this until I can shake the "freedom" out of my system. I think part of it is that I have been dressing older for the last three years and now want to dress my age. I also find that I want a wardrobe/lifestyle overhaul right before every major life change.
I think it's time to reign myself in now. ;)
