Squashing the Shopping Bug: Week 2

Kristin finally admits her problem — she’s a true shopaholic. There’s absolutely nothing she needs (her two closets are overflowing as it is). She’s vowed to stop shopping until May 16th, and she invites you to join her each Monday during this trying time.

I would first like to apologize for what you are about to see. I have discovered the self timer on my camera. Therefore, my photos might tend to be a tad cheesy. Please find it in your heart to forgive me.

Now, onto good news—I have not shopped at all! I know that two weeks of no shopping is normal for most, but I don’t think I have ever gone that long before. I can even window shop without getting anxious about not being able to purchase. Woo hoo! High fives to me!
