One Resolution Accomplished
I start Tuesday (Monday is Martin Luther King Day) working 40 hours a week. I have been job hunting for quite a while but have had trouble in my city getting an office job without being bilingual. There's nothing glamorous about my new job, I will be in a cubicle typing data, but I don't care.
My husband took me out last night to get a few "business casual" outfits... Had to look the definition of that one up on the internet after they informed me of the dress code. I haven't ever taken him clothes shopping before because he gets all weird just shopping at target, but he said he was proud of me so he would go last night. We walked into Kohls and his eyes opened wide... I walked to the business casual (lol that's my new term) department and he started pacing back and forth and glancing at the exit... I saw that they had a great clearance going on and started sorting through the racks.. He looks faint.... lol so I was more than happy to oblige when he asked if I cared if he walked down to Borders Books... No honey go right ahead. So after 40 minutes he called me asking if I was done yet, I actually was almost..He walked over at met up with me. As we walked out I remarked wow I did great tonight.... Under an hour found a pair of dress pants, two sweaters and two shells to go under them all on sale. He said it was only an hour!!! Felt like 3......lol so moral of this story is NEVER TAKE YOUR HUSBAND SHOPPING even if he is trying to be nice.
Crap, just thought of something..... this job stuff is totally gonna cut in on my Blog Explosion time! LOL

YAY C!! im so proud of you, and of mike for actually swallowing his manly pride and going with you!! congrats girl....
hey, all the best with your new job. and yup, never, ever take your husband/boyfriend/any guy when shopping! :))
What???
In my house it is the other way around, I would rather leave my wife at home while I go shopping. Within 45 minutes she is begging to go home and I have not even started warming up yet.
Growing up with a mom who was a customer service manager at Macy's on Long Island I was taught early the value of shopping, and am especially adept at finding a sale.
I have been slowly teaching her these essential skills, but I have 25 years of work to undo as she was raised by her dad. I figure another year and she will be ready to solo, LOL!

my fiance says he calculates the time i spend in the changing room by the number of outfits i have...and he's usually pretty right about the timing.
