Self Control (Day 150)

Today I could talk about how I had a wonderful talk with Becca as we sat at Shades (favorite coffee shop in Tulsa), or about the fun I had a Stephanie's with a large group of friends, but instead I'm going to talk about how for once in my life I had self control..

Self control when it came to shopping that is. Target is such a weakness to me. Things are cheap enough that I don't feel bad about buying them and the clothes are cute enough that I find something every time I go in! Well today I saw some delightful tops and I ran over to snatch them. I always try clothes on since it saves the trip and the effort to bring all the item back you ended up not liking. As I was trying them on, I realized I didn't actually need them and by the time I had finished going through the assortment of clothes I couldn't bring myself to buying them. If you know me that is not an easy task. I enjoy having new things to wear, but today I thought more about my life and where that money could go. Instead I only bought a bra (sorry if that's TMI) which I actually needed, some sunscreen, and a pair of shoes that I had been searching every Target for since May.. no joke. I really am proud of myself. I could of come out of that store with at least $75 worth of merchandise, but instead it was $45 and only one of the purchases was something I only wanted. And now I'm glad I didn't spend the money because buying those things wouldn't of made me happier. I think I'm growing up. :)


Needed to see this one today because I did hit a rough patch there for a few hours.
