I was on a direct
mission, when entering the store.
I needed a red jacket
to wear with a fancy black Christmas skirt.
Bummer....no luck here either,
so, why waste the trip, right?
I had promised myself to wait until afterThanksgiving
to look at Christmas decorations......but the
temptation in this place was overwhelming. The store
was chocked full of Christmas delights.
Self ignored that request when I found
these pretty Christmas dishes.
"Could I use them for holiday desert and coffee?....Yes!"
I immediately thought of at least two or
three occasions during the holidays when I could use them.
I loved the red cardinals and poinsettias, and
they would look real nice on my green tablecloth
or better yet, on the white one.
Quick as a flash, into the shopping cart they went!
Later at home, I told the Mister of my plans and
how I "needed" the Christmas dishes.
I saw that look on his face,
and began to have that
little twinge of guilt.
I had been guilty of
" impulse shopping" alright.
My purchase had been unplanned, hasty
and perhaps a little thoughtless. I should
have taken a few deep breaths, walked away
for a few moments and reconsidered.
Guilty as charged, I suppose,
but they're so dog-gone pretty,
I'm keeping them!!!!
Have a blessed weekend....Dee Dee
