new month

I kicked it off last weekend by doing lots of fun things to ease my mind. :)

Retail therapy

Purchased footwear, cosmetics, and clothing on recent soothing shopping trips. I also replenished my supply of white tea. I swear it works wonders for my skin...I can see a difference when I don't drink it for a few days.

The best part is, I did not pay full price for anything. Everything was either on sale or discounted through an in-store promotion.

Outings with Friends

-2.5 hour lunch with officemates Friday afternoon
-dinner date with fiancé Friday
-leisurely afternoon with a good friend on Saturday which included lunch, browsing at an art festival, being delighted at the sight of so many dogs, and some of the aforementioned retail therapy
-drinks with a small group late Saturday evening

Solo pursuits

-Magazines and catalogs to leaf through
-Hitting the gym
-Washing my car
-Cleaning my closet and setting aside clothing for the hurricane victims
-Planning things to do/see for an upcoming vacation
