Good Morning!
the last box...
I ordered this BEFORE my challenge but it just arrived yesterday, so I had to take a picture of it. Dramatic yes, but a monumental moment because there will be no more boxes for awhile. I'm not even 100% sure if I will keep them; rain boots tend to fit my legs funny, but with the rain that comes down here I might have to grin and bear it.
In other new, today is payday.... otherwise known as "Happy-Dance & Buy Day".
However, we all know that I'm NOT SHOPPING FOR 3 MONTHS!!!
I must admit it's been slightly painful to look at the sales emails as they come through my phone late at night to greet me 1st thing in the morning. But I know that the money that I'd be spending could be going towards other things...
This week hasn't been that bad lust-wise; work has been ridiculous and by the time I get a free moment I don't even want to get near the computer to swoon over clothes, shoes & accessories. I'm also on a new kick.. HOME IMPROVEMENT!! My living room has just been redone and now I want to paint my bedroom, bathroom, kitchenette & 2nd bedroom... my shopping energy has gone towards improving my apartment, my mom is going to be so proud.
The last reason, but by far the most important... the reason why I'm not in tears about not shopping is because the money I would have spent for clothes... I will donate to one of the many Haiti Earthquake relief funds. I gave a bit the other day and I will give more when the paycheck clears. It feels good to give, even better than new clothes.

We were able to give to a church group sending food supplies and you are right -- it does feel better than adding another piece to the wardrobe.
Share your apartment improvments with us. I love "redecorating" almost as much as I love shopping.
I'm glad that we share the same sentiment about giving!
I will take before/after pictures this weekend :)
Yes, you must post some pics once you're done with your place!
