T-minus 1 day and counting...

Tomorrow officially begins my 46 days of lent, sans-shopping. This may sound superficial, but shopping is a major part of my life. It probably wouldn't be that way if I didn't work at the mall...

Scratch that. That's WHY I work at the mall (and LOVE it!)

I have loved shopping ever since I had money to spend. My favorite store has been AE since I was big enough to wear their clothes, and now I work for the company! I got my first store rewards card (my AE All Access Pass in '06) and I haven't gotten anything less than 40% (or $20 as an employee) since. THAT'S how much I shop there. You should see my account history...it's disgusting.

When I started working at Aerie, it was an even bigger excuse to spend all of my money there! That's what's going to be hardest about giving up shopping: I have to see the clothes all the time!

I did create a loop-hole for myself...I had to. Prom is coming up! I have to get a dress! Following with Lenten guidelines, I will only shop for Prom Dresses on Sundays (but nothing else!)

Wish me luck...I work tomorrow! AAAAHHH!
