Shopped 'til I Dropped

Today was supposed to be an ugly, yucky, rainy day here in the Northeast.  Lucky for us, the weathermen got it wrong and the weather was gorgeous!  So, needing something different to do than my rainy day plan (changing my closet over from winter to summer, glamorous I know...), I decided to go shopping. 

Spending hours on end shopping is fun when you have lots of money to drop. When you don't, it's an exercise in restraint.  Even so, I still found a few fun things to buy.  A trip to Barnes and Noble resulted in "Paris, my Sweet" (another book about Paris that I've been dying to read) and "The Fry Chronicles"(which has finally been published in the States and made me happier than anyone should have been!).  And a trip to Old Navy resulted in some spring staples: cardigans and tees.  I spent the rest of the afternoon trolling the shops and making lists of things to buy when I hit the lottery or get a raise, whichever comes first.  Until that time, I'll be holed up reading my new book and being completely jealous that Stephen Fry can write as well as he does.
