Countdown to my last 90 days. Unbelievable

Honestly, this project is really taking a toll.  I certainly can't give it up now, I only have 95 days left.  Who would have thought I could actually do this?  Not only did I start, but I haven't slipped once!  Oh I have been sorely tried, believe me, it has been very difficult.  But with only 3 months to go, well, I just can't stop.

I spent the better part of the last two weeks in shopping mecca's, NYC and Chicago.  I didn't go into a single store in NYC. Instead, I spent my time doing what any mother of a baseball player would do...I went to see the Yankees!  It was a very exciting game, A-Rod hit his 599th Home Run and Derek Jeter hit an inside-the-park home run.  Not a common occurance.  So it was a very satisfying trip all the way round.

When I got to Chicago my resolve was tested.  One of my colleagues had her gf and daughter with her.  They had been shopping and shopping, since two days before I got there.  They knew where all the stores were and where the best deals were (and the not so best deals).  I pretty much avoided any shopping excursion until the last day.  I had time to wander, so I joined K and her gal pals, and away we went.  Ostensibly we were heading to Sprinkles to buy cupcakes and then lunch.  But along the way, there was Nordstrom.  Now I have been in a lot of Nordstrom stores, from NYC to South Coast Plaza, Seattle to San Francisco to San Diego.  I have pretty much seen what they have to offer when it comes to Salon Shoes, Womens Shoes and all the other shoes you can think of.  I had not been in Chicago Nordstrom before.  The Women's and Salon Shoe departments held the wonders of the world.  It was all I could do to walk away. 

They had flat black Paul Green Sandals I hadn't seen before.  They had Louboutin low heel black leather pumps to die for.  They had a better selection of Jimmy Choo's than the brand store at SCP!  I fell in love with shoes all over again.  I didn't tell K, K and C what I had been up to until we were heading out the door.  I didn't buy, I didn't cry, but I wanted to.

Love,
S
