… that one of these days Stacy and Clinton will show up and tear me a new one.

It’s not an irrational fear. My mother, father and husband have all expressed an interest in getting me a makeover. Or at least some new clothes. (Its not as bad as it sounds… I love that show and I would totally be down for a $5,000 shopping spree. And I know they mean it in the kindest way possible.)

To that end, I’ve decided I do need a better wardrobe. With clothes that actually fit & flatter me, that are comfortable and still allow me to be me. Not such a tall order right? ;P And to go along with that, I need a new hairstyle. I’m thinking shorter, easier to manage. Or not. I’ve spent awhile growing my hair out and I’m not sure I’m ready to whack it all off. When I look in the mirror I can’t help but seeing a frumpy, pudgy scraggly mess and I don’t like it. I would love to be polished and stylish and cute… I’m just not sure how to go about it. And I’m not sure I could keep up with it. I don’t care for makeup, I WILL NOT spend more than 3 minutes doing my hair and I need clothes that I can pop outside and feed the chickens in. So. There is that.

But I think I’m on the right track. Yesterday I went to Target and bought myself four new shirts. And none were clearance! I actually spent $12.99 on each shirt. I know, that is pathetic, but that is a huge step for me. I normally don’t spend more than $3.99 on ANY article of clothing. It took me almost an hour to convince myself to get them. Next… I need pants & shorts. Not looking forward to that trip.
