shopping parties

i love to go to shopping parties.
eat, drink, talk, shop, i just love it all.

i love the idea of helping out other women,
who want to have their own hours
and the freedom to be with their kids,
but mostly i just love to shop.

and i don't get to do that so much anymore.
or at least when i do, it just ain't that much fun.
(read - not worth it at all)
three kids can hinder a shopping experience.
i'm pretty sure that's why mm had kids.
so i couldn't shop anymore.
i digress.

recently i have been to two dud parties.
the parties themselves were fun,
but the products,
not so much.
for me anyway.
to each their own i suppose.

#1 signature home-something-or-other
i ordered some storage baskets,
which i later saw at big lots,
for WAY cheaper.
grr.

#2 romance-something-or-other
GAH!!!!!!!!
just, gah.
there are no words.
i ordered over-priced massage lotion.
citrus.
GAH!!!!!!!!

note to self -
stick to jewelry, woman.
maybe purses.
or at least kitchen gadgets for goodness sake.
