so-called housewife: Welcome to Window Shopping Wednesday

Wednesday’s are always kind of…well, blah (for lack of a better word). Wednesday is like the middle child – not the first, not the last, just the dependable one stuck in the middle that doesn’t give you something to talk about. I often find that a teensy bit of panic starts to hit me on this so-called Hump Day. What is there to panic about on a Wednesday? What to wear this weekend, DUH!

On that note, I have decided to try a new thing called Window Shopping Wednesday. Doesn’t this sound exciting!? Well it is to me! We can’t have it all & we must work 40+ hours a week, so why not live vicariously through the internet?

Yes, I admit I am a major window shopper. I surf and surf to see what I like and where I can find the best deal. I very rarely actually buy but looking at what I want and putting it in a virtual cart makes me feel like I am making a purchase. Or maybe I'm slightly obsessed with finding the perfect outfit to fit every occassion. Either way, I let the cart sit there all day until I have talked myself out of clicking the ‘check out’ button. It kind of feels like beating an addiction (well how I would imagine that would feel). I refuse to believe that I am the only woman out there that does this. Ahh…the bliss of retail therapy.

Ok, here we go…the shopping adventures of Jean Marie’s wonderland…

My mind says: What are we doing this weekend? I guess we are staying in town and will work on the houses. Well, we were supposed to go to The Trials. If we go, what should I wear? What screams redneck version of The Cup? I’ll Google the weather. Yuck, the high is 80 with a 30% chance of isolated thunder storms. AKA don’t wear jeans and plan to wear your hair up unless you plan on giving a Tina Turner concert. I’m thinking a casual shirtdress (maybe I’ll belt it) and cowboy boots. The boots could get hot, but I don’t want to tromp around through the mud or dust in any of my sandals. Lets see what I can find.
