Shopping is My Drug

Guess what? My name is Kimberly and I'm addicted to shopping.
Hello, Kimberly.

No, seriously, my friends I have a problem. I've been to Old Navy three times in the last week and a half and I won't tell you how much I've spent. And on Tuesday night, I had a wonderful experience shopping at Greenville's new maurices in the mall! More on that- including lots of exciting news, later. Let's just say I have a lot more clothes than necessary for wearing during my off-work time. And if I hear you tell my husband that, we aren't friends anymore. The last thing he needs to hear is that I have too many clothes that I probably won't get the chance to wear more than once every other month. (Hey, babe.)

Needless to say, when we go shopping, we like to look pretty and feel good about ourselves, right? Who wants to go try on clothes when they feel like a schlup? NOT me. So, I came home at 5:20, hopped in the shower, shaved my legs, dried and straightened (yes, again) my hair, did my make-up, and put on one of my new favorite outfits (note: only the top is actually *new*). And man, I must have felt good in this outfit, because I set myself up for some serious spending damage! And for the record, maurices provided me with the perfect pair of new jeans. And they are capris. Except not on me! HAH!

cami: Old Navy
blouse: Old Navy
jeans: Charlotte Russe
shoes: Lower East Side
necklace: Old Navy


Ooo, I may or may not have (definitely did) gotten the best little black skirt that would look absolutely fab with this top. I love scheming outfits in my head. But I'm still thinking wavy/curly hair might be more becoming. Or not... 

I'm DEFINITELY going to have to do that side-by-side photo thing to get your opinion. I'm lost without you!
** Photos of my new guest bathroom will be up tonight, so come back!

Confessions of a Shopaholic

To avoid confusion, this post was supposed to go up last night, not this morning... which is why it refers to "yesterday" as Saturday and "today" as a day of shopping. ie: I'm at work right now- NOT shopping. :)

1. I love shopping. It doesn't matter for what I'm shopping. If I'm buying, I'm happy.
2. I was just as giddy to go to Lowe's and buy weed killer, a hydrangea, tomato cages, and a sprinkler as I was to clothes shop at Old Navy for Little S. and I. 
3. This. Is. A. Problem.

I always feel best in a dress- even for errands. What about you?

dress, belt, shoes: Target
headband: Walgreen's




I got up late this morning... after last night. Hah.
And when I decided to clean off the back porch and get Little S.' summer toys ready to play with, I discovered a colony - no, a continent of slugs living in her play table and the umbrella. I broke out the clorox and salt and went to town on those slimy bad boys. It.Was.Disgusting.
There were at least 300.

But I won. Naturally.


Little S. and I went shopping at Old Navy for an hour... hours and both got lots of great things. Then we went to Lowe's and dropped some Benjamins (Okay, fine. 3/4 of a Benjamin) on the aforementioned items, which was just as exciting. And I know it's been a while since Little S. has shown her little face on the blog, but I've decided, after lots of thinking (and her stinking ridiculous bikini photo shoot, today), that I'm not opposed to showing her off, anymore.

This blog is about me being a momma. She's the reason I'm a momma.
And the crazy people that gave me trouble were clearly peeved about that ol' Food, Inc. post, which I gladly took down after losing my blog a zillion times. So, anyway, without further ado...

The cutest kid, ever:


If only we could all look that freaking perfect in a yellow bikini...
