I'm back!!!

After a brief hiatus, I realize my mind races if I don't write my thoughts down. Its called my "Mind Dump". And you all know that if you don't empty out time to time, things can get really backed up. So I promise a weekly excerpt, even if it doesn't make sense. But does anything in life make sense when push comes to shove?

Broke but happy...

Why is shopping the most therapeutic activity a woman can engage in? Why do we get a natural high when we see a sale and purchase good quality items for a steal?

Why is it when we are feeling down, fat, irritated, agitated, angry or flat out depressed, shopping seems to heal all ills?

I have actually tried not to shop for two entire weeks. No groceries, retail or personal shopping. In the beginning, I felt content and empowered not spending money. But as the days wore on, I felt an important activity in my life was taken away from me. There existed an emptiness I could not explain. I felt I was being 'squeezed'.

Squeeze me?

I know how my dad paid off his mortgage in three years, never owned a credit card and paid for our orthodontic treatment (at a bill of $10K) without going into debt or paying interest. HE IS A MAN.

A shout out to all my girls...it is against our hormones not to shop. May our ESTROGEN levels always be balanced!
