 Topic: Feeling much better now...
Posted: 08 April 2006 at 9:53pm |
Well, I must say there's nothing like a bit of retail therapy to cheer a girl up !
Even though it took me til lunchtime today to actually get myself together enough to get out of the house, I finally made it !  Got sucked into Baby City, yeah yeah my own fault I know... and of course spent WAY more than I intended *ahem* But you see, now that we know it's a girl, I *HAD* to buy some pink things !  See ?
The little heart on the front says "hug me"...
It was the only pink one left ! hehehe (all the others were blue)
Pink bunny rabbit rattle socks...
Pink baa lamb rattle mitts...
Cutest pink giraffe outfit ever !
(It says 'cuddle me' on the front, and is a polar fleecy type material, good for winter hopefully)
I also had a bit more pampering done, as a follow up to yesterdays haircut and color... starting with my nails:
And finishing with my toes !
I hope you ladies realise I had to get my foot up onto my computer desk for that shot LOL Glad nobody else was home to watch !! Hehehe...and normally my toes look REALLY gross, nobody but Rols ever gets to see them.
Anyway, I feel MUCH better now, but I think my poor husband is still in shock! I *did* try to balance my spending spree out by doing the groceries, don't know if it made him feel any better though...  I think he'll be glad to come home tomorrow so that I won't be able to go out 'unsupervised' with the credit card !! Hahahaha... oh gosh, it's not THAT bad though - this was all (mostly) budgeted for (at least the pampering and the groceries were!).
Tomorrow I really am going to relax, and just potter around the house, and then before I know it I will be able to head out to the airport and pick up DH, yay
Love from your resident shop-aholic (aka Jax!)

My gawd I think retail therapy and chocolate can cure just about anything!!!!!!!!
I am at my peak this morning of missing my hubbie. With still 4 sleeps to go until he comes home I need some form of comfort I feel. Probably really can't afford the retail therapy and my butt really can't afford the chocolate
Loving the nails Jax, very cool!!!!

Heh, we have one of those giraffes, except it's blue and small and plays Brahms Lullaby. Your nails look fab! I've always wanted to get a manicure. Maybe I should pout at DH and see if he'll cave and pay for one for me :)

I thought it was familiar, I think I have seen the smaller ones before somewhere. This one has a squeaker in one of it's hands, which I didn't actually discover until I got home LOL !
I do have a confession to make - they're not really "my" nails, I had them put on an acrylic set so they could do the nail art as well, otherwise it would never last. The place I went to was really reasonable though (for Auckland!).
Getting a manicure always feels good, but I must say I actually enjoyed the pedicure more - I got to sit in this huge recliner type chair that had a massage function, and have my feet rubbed and toes painted at the same time ! Hehehe... bliss !

Just to make things even funnier, that's not actually all I bought... I just couldn't be arsed taking pictures of every single thing, and stuck to the super-cutesy stuff
Spoke to my MIL this morning, and it looks like she spotted some cute baby girl clothes too and is going to send them over along with the gift money (that we already spent on bedding!), yay ! This kid is going to have a HUGE wardrobe LOL Considering the stuff I won from Janine is still on its way as well 
Oh, and online shopping is the devil ! You should know better than to tempt me like that

he he - when you say you "won", it kinda sounds like a prize not something you have to pay for!!

LOL I know and I think that's part of the problem - the buying doesn't seem so bad when you call it "winning" instead !!

lol... I was going to say that Jax probably wouldn't need anything quite that big yet - Josiah's only just in that size now! (mind you, he is little for his age!)

Xanda is wearing 00 now and he only 4 months. But it also all depends on the brand because in some brands he still wearing 000 and in others he wearing a 0.
