What was I thinking?

I love to SHOP! I especially love bargains. I will comb through a clearance rack looking for the best deals. I love clothes, shoes, jewelry (love, love, love) and handbags! I also love shopping for others. I shop online and in stores. One of my favorite places to shop is Macy's. I buy what I need and what I want (much more of what I want!). You are probably wondering why I would put myself on a shopping fast since I love it so much. The answer to the question is one word......LAUNDRY! I have spent the past couple of weeks trying to catch up on laundry. Most of the time, I just grab what I need and let it pile up but I decided that I needed to get the laundry done. As I was washing, I saw all of these pieces of clothing that I forgot that I had. I also organized between spring/summer and fall/winter so that things would be easier to find. I realized that I had some gems in my closet and that I didn't need to purchase another thing! I am also hoping that this time will teach me about discipline. I have a savings goal in mind and I want to get started now. I was recently promoted and I want to be able to save a portion of the money that I am bringing in from the promotion. I thought that giving up soda was going to be difficult but I know that I am in for a bigger challenge.
