Shopaholic!!

I just want to say that right now I am sitting in a big winged leather armchair, beside a gas fireplace, and looking out at the sun setting on the calm waters of Birch Bay, WA. This is awesome. Plus, there's free WiFi, even more awesome.

I am shopped out. We started the shopping extravaganza on Sunday afternoon with a trip to the small outlet mall (where we were excited for the Lululemon outlet, but were very sadly disappointed). Yesterday, though, was the biggie. We left the condo at 8:30 and arrived at Seattle Premium Outlets just before 10:00 when they opened. With coffee to start our shopping buzz, we stayed there until 2:30. My favourite purchase from there is my new coat from the Guess outlet, which is the cutest thing ever - black and white houndstooth wool. We then drove a half hour to the giant Alderwood Mall and stayed there until closing at 9:00!!! Oh my god, my feet and legs were SO sore. By the time 7:00 rolled around, Laurel and I had to take a sit-down break every half hour because our arms were so sore from holding all our bags and our feet were so sore from all the walking! Craziness!! We didn't get home until 11:30 last night, and then I had a hot shower and fell into bed.

Today was a small day, we slept in (thank god) and then hit up Bellis Fair. We'd been in most of the stores already though, plus our money stashes were almost depleted, so we didn't buy a whole lot and only stayed until 2:00. Now we are back at the condo relaxing, and I'm supposed to be doing my homework... shhhhhh. ;)

What an intense shopping trip! I have bought a coat, shirts, 2 skirts, a pair of skinny jeans (the horror), 3 pairs of shoes, and perfume!! I'm pretty sure that now I won't be allowed to spend ANY money for a long time. It's a good thing we're going home tomorrow! :)
