What did I buy and why....

The movie based on the book "Confessions of a Shopaholic" is coming out with Isla Fisher as Becky Bloomwood. HUGE MISTAKE!! Now as someone who finds this book more as a manual to good finances than a novel, this is totally crazy!! I loved Fisher in Hot Rod and think she's good looking, but as Becky Bloomwood??!!?? Please!! I just don't see this as a good fit! I hate to say it, but LiLo would have been a better choice, but then maybe she was in rehab during filming.

That aside, I really look forward to the movie, if not the costumes. The IMBD photo's are horrendous.

Being Single and Ready to Jingle, I do my fair share to stir the economy. We all know, you can't win if you don't play the game. COAS is a great book for all SRJ's to learn how to hide your purchases from others. I had a horrible relapse last month, when good friend Sarah came over to help me pick out a dress for our gala and she pointed out that I had 8 dresses NWT. Now, had I hid the tags, removed them or hid the dresses, it would have been fine. Being a Shopaholic is all about hiding your debt and purchases from those who think you have a problem.

My mother is coming down this weekend, which will be another cause to hide all the recent purchaces. I hope the three things I won on Ebay and the Esty apron I totally needed arive before then. Oh, also need a good place to hide host of Coach purses I got at lunch. Normal people wouldn't have this problem, but with a Nosey Parker mother like mine, it's a must!

Things to return: Shoes to Marshall's. Membership to Boingo. Jeans to Macys. Wait! You always need jeans. Keep those. Black plates to new 'rainbow' french store???? Yeah, I think they look like target plates. Package can be soooooooooo deceptive.

Well this is my monthly post, so enjoy and wish me luck!
