On my way into the office today (yes, it is my off-Friday) I stopped by Valley Fair to return some pants I bought from BR which, when I tried them on looked like I had sacks on my legs. Go in, return the pants, walk out, that was my intention. But for those of you who know me well, you can guess what happened.

I decided to wander around to hopefully finish off my Christmas shopping list and that’s when something disconcerting happened. As I was walking, all these people manning those kiosks would suddenly get in front of me and try to push something for “my special lady.” I’m all like WTF and after the 3rd time it happened I realized I was carrying around a bright pink Juicy Couture bag. Heh, if only they knew what was inside it…

I originally allocated 1 hour for this whole endeavor, but yeah…that didn’t happen. But I did manage to escape without buying anything for myself which is almost miraculous. Though I came really close at the True Religion store and at Guess and I’ll probably stop by tomorrow to pick up something Jan showed me for my mom.

Let’s hope my resolve is as good tomorrow…
