Gasp...I Now Own A....

I spent the past two days shopping for a dress.  Yes, I said a dress.  Quite a miracle in itself considering I don't own even one (not even a skirt).  Of course, shopping for a dress is quite discouraging to me...the voice inside my head either moos or tells me I look like I'm wearing a curtain or tells me it looks like I could rest a tray of margaritas on my chest.  Gawd, there is some REALLY UGLY stuff out there and when the hell did my boobs get so big????!!!!????

Needless to say, I went to Kohl's, Nordstrom Rack, Lands End, Marshalls, Target and even Walmart (I know, the sin, right?)  I found one this morning at Marshalls.  It was ok.  I mean it looks nice on, but I wasn't too thrilled about the fabric up by the boobs...like they couldn't have picked something that didn't look like black canvas?  Anyway, I bought it.  But when I came home I felt like going to Goodwill...and usually when I have that feeling, it means I am going to find something...so off I trucked to Goodwill and I found the PERFECT DRESS FOR $4.99.  It still had the tags on it from the real store!!!!!  I love it.  I took a pic of it to post (the pink splotch is the price tag), but it doesn't do any justice for it.  It's just a simple wrap around dress. 

I saw it on the rack and was like "no way, it's not going to fit." because it was a full size smaller than what I wear.   I just kept going back over it and over it and finally I thought, "what the hell?  like trying on dresses can get anymore depressing today?"  I went and tried it on.  IT FIT!!!!  And I'm not talking, suck it in here, here & there fit, it really fit, perfectly!  I'm in shock, but sooo happy!  Now back to Marshall's I'll go, probably tomorrow, to return the other one.  Phew!

I got some cute shoes too to go with the dress, that is after going through rows and rows of  "fuck me" heels.  I just am not feeling it, nor could I probably walk 5 feet in heels that high!  Anyway, it worked out perfectly because the shoes I found look really nice with the dress and I'll still be able to wear them to work.  Nothing worse than buying a pair of shoes that you're only going to wear once!

I decided to splurge on the Josh Turner CD today.  I love his music!  So I went to Walmart and picked up the CD...okay, I totally confess I didn't have a clue as to what he looked like, but OMG!!!!  That man is GORGEOUS!!!!!  I'm totally in lust...yes, I know, keep dreaming!  I'm just saying, he wouldn't have to ask me twice!  Delicious!  Check him out.

Today I am grateful for Goodwill, that it rained and I didn't have to cut the grass :p, and that I found a necklace that my dad had gotten me that I thought I lost (I swear, I have no idea how it popped up in my jewelry box again!!!).
