No Shopping Challenge Week 1

Well, I made it through week one without shopping.  Kind of.  It wasn’t a quitting-cold-turkey kind of thing because stuff that I had ordered online 1-2 weeks ago started arriving.  So they were fun little residual treats to get.  But I think the last of them has arrived.  And now the real challenge begins.

When I sat and thought about how easy the first week was, I put up my peacock feathers and felt very proud of myself.  I was quite hopeful that this would continue to be a piece of cake.  But then it dawned on me that I still have 51 weeks to go (fifty one, you guys) and Stevie would be 3 years old before I could shop for clothes again. (!!!!!) Pretty sure I broke into a cold sweat at that moment.

This is going to be…interesting.

Here are some things I had on my radar this week that I just might have bought within hours of setting this goal, if I had absolutely no self-discipline whatsoever.  My virtual shopping list.

  1. You know….if I bought the kitty watch – would that make you feel less upset? 🙂

  2. Jaana, I’m going to try to get through February without shopping for clothes. I chose February since its a short month…that’s how weak I am. There is no way I can make it through the year like you but I hope you do! Good luck!
