How Much Do I Love Me?

#1 I just bought myself FOUR, yes 4, new bras online. I really like the ones that I currently have and couldn't find them in stock in the store of my choice yesterday. So, I did something crazy (and why didn't I come up with the idea before?): I looked at the tag, wrote down the brand and tag number and did a little googling. I found the bras on Amazon (from a different company) for free shipping and $15 less than I could have ordered them in the store mentioned above. I feel good about this purchase. Yes, it is alot of money on undergarments, but they are necessary. I like making good purchases and I especially like getting attire that I feel fits me well...even if no one else sees it! :P

#2 After work today I am going to the gym. This is typical now - I scheduled it and now it is a reality. I enjoy working out and it makes me feel better about myself. I have lost some weight so far, but still could lose a bunch more. And, because it makes me feel better and I am starting to see results, I have decided to extend my membership for an entire year. It is a gigantic step for me, but I am so excited! Yippee for me!

The above are such big deals because I usually buy things for the kids, sean, etc. I rarely just splurge on myself for just me. These are splurges for me...necessary, but splurges nonetheless. I feel empowered. Go me! :D
