Women Can Be Animals!

Okay, so I finally got a hold of hubby. Got pissy because (at the time) he didn't have a really good reason for not calling me, and he also tried to get me to cut our call short citing the fact that we were talking on his friend's mobile (I finally got him by calling his friend lah)...

Oh man, I was so pissed. And obviously, I assumed the worst. Cuz. I'm entitled. So there.

Anyway, yeah. 12 hours + later, he calls. I'm supposed to catch a concert @ KLPAC, but I was feeling listless and unhappy. I didn't feel sociable, and I just wanted to buy something. Anything. Even if it was paper soap from Watsons. *sigh*

I got me another pair of the same shoes, after extensive consultation with my fashionista pals. Got the green light about it being okay to own variations of the same damned shoes I like (PLUS they were on sale!!!)...Damn. Cheaper than the first pair I'd bought, too.

Wasn't sure my card had any credit left, but in my state of mind, was willing to blow my cash on it and go hungry the rest of the month. Luckily, that didn't happen.

I got lucky because MJ MV had my size. And while waiting for the sales clerk to bring me my shoes, I noticed that the entire shoe/bag department looked like a bomb had dropped in the middle of it, scattering stuff all over. Women were EVERYWHERE, most just single-mindedly forced their way through cashier lines...all intent on the "Goal"...or "prize..!"

Rude, grabby, messy, insane. That was the preview sale.

Anyway, hubby called when I was on my way to DP to buy the linen blend slacks I'd been eye-balling. But since he rang while I was rummaging, I didn't actually get a chance to pick anything up. Gave him a (nice) shelling, and proceeded to tell him he'd interrupted me while I was in the middle of my retail therapy.

He laughed, apologized a few times, laughed sheepishly...and then I told him he was going to PAY for my credit card bill because he'd pissed me off in the first place. He laughed some more, told me (quite truthfully) that he's paying my bills anyways (now, since I'm jobless), and I told him I'd run up my charges quite a bit this month.

Well, there was the Finale Songwriter I purchased online. Both sisters celebrated their birthdays this month (a day apart from each other), he wanted me to send some stuff over with a friend who was in town for a few days...so I purchased his wish-list with the card. My obligatory book quota was in the bill, too. My shoes!! And a nice halter dress which will do for parties and the MPO...

Yeah. So, no worries. And the insurance claims came through, yay! FULL amount, no shit! Intel Core Duo MacBookPro, HERE I COME!!! :D

Okay, back to the story. Walked out of DP without buying anything, as well as to give myself time to think about the white linen pants. Had dinner with Clare @ McD's...went back to DP's after dinner with the full intention of buying something. Picked up an office-wear type blouse as well as afore-mentioned black halter dress. Stopped by Axcess and got a pair of earrings.

And headed home. To upload silly photos. And hubby called again! Whee! So yeah, now I'm tired. And I want to sleep. But I can't. Think I'll watch a DVD or summin' ....
