the $8.98 button

The only thing I like better than buying things I don't need is spending money I don't have. Ah.

Well, I sorta needed pants that fit. Because jammer pants aren't really socially acceptable, no matter how comfy. And Smokin' Fairy needed cargos. So we headed over the river to Parkersburg, WV which has more shopping options than Walmart.

Let me tell you how much I love Steve & Barry's. They have normal looking and even cute clothes. And everything in the store right now is $8.98. Cute black dresses, jeans, shoes. Ended up with a couple pairs of khakis and a cool blue shirt. To wear with my new wedges, (cheaper in store than online)which I bought in an attempt to look more like a grownup, despite the fact that Smokin' Fairy is totally certain I will never wear them.

Smokin' Fairy and I were delighted by the $8.98ness of it all, complete with the idea of extensive training on a single $8.98 button. Heh. Add that to the list of other fun, like the Jesus of Nazareth - Frat Boy webisodes (he turns water into beer!).

Now I fight the fatigue to do work. With Top Chef Chicago in the background making mildly homesick.
