clothes shopping

My class reunion for college is quickly approaching. I am excited to be taking Riley and meeting up with my old college roommate and her son of similar age. Riley told the career councilor that he wanted to work with space and rocketry. Nice that he has a plan. There is a future in that area with all the private rocket companies opening up to service NASA and selling seats to bring anyone  into space. he gets that he has to have the science grades also, to go with his ambitions.

 I made an appointment for a color and cut. I am planning on having a pedicure and a manicure as the date gets closer. Yesterday I went clothes shopping. I used the reunion as my excuse to hit some of the end of summer sales.

I was heavy with guilt over spending any money. but at the end of the day I realized I had spent less on my wardrobe than I had on the boys' back to school clothes. Tom was at the Beaver Wisconsin game sitting in very expensive seats in the club house. One of his seats was about what I spent on the clothes today.

I  came home with seven tops and four sweaters costing me around $150  plus a pair of sandals on sale. Had to buy the sandals at Macy's as the other stores had already taken out their summer stock and brought in the winter boots. I probably spent $200 total today. I still need to get some pants or skirts, but I may have stuff in my closet that will work.

This closet in the basement doesn't work very efficiently. I forget about things I have in my wardrobe,  since I have to leave much of my clothes in the basement. It really makes me want to put up a wall in Riley's room and swipe his nice big huge closet for me. Perhaps another trip to Home Depot is in my near future. 

We stopped at home Depot to buy more shelf brackets for the office. Slowly we will make that small space work for everyone. Tom just needs to tell me his ideas so I can start making them a reality. I am kind of excited about the over stimulation of being able to watch multiple shows at once. I am being only half facetious.
