She even bought me panties...
My mother took me shopping for back to school clothes today. My disposable income each month is laughable, and I quite frankly, think my mother was sick of seeing me in all the same clothes over and over. Granted, I do see my parents quite frequently, but I think she had my pattern figured out...
Anyhow, we spent no less than six hours in two stores, and my mom dropped damn near half one of my paychecks on acquiring a new, more professional-ish teacher-y wardrobe for me. I really enjoyed just hanging out with my mom, but I got a huge bonus... a butt-load of clothing!
Don't get me wrong, I have clothes, it's not like I'm rotating the same handful of outfits or anything, its just that most of what I buy comes from Old Navy or somewhere else of equally shoddy durability of construction... and therefore a large majority of my wardrobe could certainly stand replacing/updating.
Bonus:
I got home with a shot of energy from a post-dinner frappuccino and actually CLEANED OUT MY CLOSET! (clothing only - i'm not starting shoes at this hour.) I wanted to have a place to put all my awesome new clothing. I accumulated well over 50 empty hangers in the process, AND now I get to put a check by that thing I didn't think I'd get done this summer...
Double Bonus:
I got some prints of pictures from my trip to Virginia to see my new baby nephew. There's this one of me holding the baby, and I look awesome. I looked at the photo and said, "Damn, I'm pretty..." (... and I have immeasurably low self esteem, so you know its gotta be a good picture...) As soon as I get my hands on the digital version, I'm so posting my picture on here. I never thought I would put up more photographic evidence of my existence other than my feet, but Damn, I'm pretty...
{Unfortunately, however, we will still not be posting our photo to our profile because we are still somewhat frustrated with the whole store your photos elsewhere thing, and trust us, we have invested some time, but you know what, we're not going to be talking about this right now... we'll come back to it, though... oh, indeed, we will...}
It's been a great day. I go to bed happy. And did I mention, Damn, I'm pretty....?

Yes, inquiring minds want to know what you look like! (Other than your feet, that is...)
I, however, would not be able to put a picture of my feet on my blog, as the sight of them would most certainly negatively impact my already minimal viewership. My wife says they're "OK", but I think that's probably a stretch for her and she's trying to fulfill the "respect" part of the vows...
Lemme know how the photo posting goes and if you need assistance. I jumped through all the Blogger hoops, but it was no fun. If all else fails you, I've got web space where I can put a photo and send you the URL to link to.
Thanks for the offer... I do plan to sit down sometime in the next few days and figure it out. I'm an intelligent (yet slightly technophobic) woman. I should be able to do this...
So what did you do with all the clothes you cleaned out of your closet? ;)
ummm... gave them away?
