Apparently back in January I purchased a pair of shoes that I'd wanted for quite some time. I even price stalked and that is something I don't do (i.e. continuously checked the prices at the store and online). If I see something that I like and I have the money to buy it, I buy it. No price comparison, no price stalking, no waiting on a sale, no googling for coupons, none of that. I'm too impatient and while I like clothes and shoes, I am not a "shopper" per se.
So what happened? I was cleaning out my purse when I saw a folded receipt in the coin section of my wallet (interpretation ... I was looking for something specific that required me to empty the contents because I couldn't find it otherwise). When I looked at the receipt I saw that I apparently had purchased 2 pairs of shoes in January. Now I remember one pair because I wear them pretty frequently but I could not remember the second pair. This is when the scavenger hunt began. I began to search high and low looking for a new pair of shoes and guess where they were? They were still in the box, on the outside of my closet door! You mean I didn't even take the time to move them 2 feet into the closet?! LOL. Is this how I treat something that I had to have? Gee whiz. In all fairness, I claim amnesty on this one because it's been a very hectic 3 months. But what about you, have you ever ... ?

Now that takes some self-control! I'm one of those people that rips stuff out of the bag/box to try on once I get home. So I never have issues like that when it comes to clothing/shoes. But I notice that I often forget groceries that I've purchased and stuck in the far corner of the fridge. Often time, I discover that a new life form has developed when I clean out the fridge! Eeeewwwww..
