Retail Therapy!

I am a believer in therapy. Granted, psychologists and shrinks can help people with their issues, but I have a better way. A way that provides instant gratification, automatic happiness, and only costs a little money. Yes, the answer to all of life's ills is RETAIL THERAPY!!! Yes, I have been the main proponent of RETAIL THERAPY for years! Any time I have a bad day, it's CHARGE all the way to the mall... and back! ;)
 
Ok, so compulsive spending isn't the best idea in the world. However, just one new pair of shoes, obtained at 50% off the retail price, isn't too compulsive, it is? I mean, I come home with a new pair of shoes (they have to be ones I will, in fact, wear) and the satisfaction that I got them on sale! Handbags, earrings, cropped pants, tops, tanks, tees, you name it, if it is in style, reasonably priced, and something I will wear, I consider it a gift to myself for all of my hard work. After all, I earned it!
 
Yesterday, the new professor teaching biochemistry in our neuroscience system informed us that we wouldn't be tested on his basic outline of neurotransmitters and receptors, but we would have to go look everything up on our own! This, my friends, was a breaking point, and I witnessed an uprising of medical students that would have made the Teamsters Union and Jimmy Hoffa proud. The kids peppered this guy with questions, to the point where he had to stop lecturing for about 20 minutes. At the beginning of the lecture, one of the other professors had been sitting in class, and once the announcement had been made that we were to go figure out what we needed to go, he disappeared. Once the Class Inquisition was well underway (and pissing off the rookie professor), our wonderful Dr Kuehn appeared, and sat in on the rest of the class. Well, all of this excitement and crap was a bit too much (no one appreciates having to start lecture at 8 am only to be told an hour later that you must go research the material yourself.) To top it all off, my dear friend Juliette was having a rotten day. So, we decided that some therapy was in order, and knocked off early to do some shopping! We went to Ross, Onterio Mills mall, and a few other stores, and although we didn't spend a whole lot of money, we did have a few bags of great finds - and had a blast the entire time!
 
I tell you now - a new pair of shoes, or a great new outfit can turn a crap day into a great day!
 
Oh, and that ballyhoo over our neuro-biochem? After the office of medical education met to discuss the situation, it was decided that we would not be responsible of any of that professor's material! Crazy, I tell you!

CL, I'm with you: I splurge on music more often than anything else.  This weekend I bought three CDs, though in my defense, one is Amanda's.  LeeAnn Womack's greatest hits (this one has Cheryl's song on it, she was SO excited!), Simple Plan: Live at the Hard Rock and Bowling for Soup: Drunk Enough to Dance.  Too much fun!

Aynde, of course $2.00 spent at the scrapbooking store counts! :)
 
Mocha, it would be an honor - Retail Therapy changed my life, and it will change your's too! ;)
 
CL - I love buying music, but CD shopping in this house has a much different meaning. If I am out to cheer myself up or reward myself, it's clothes and shoes. If it's Jon and I going out cd shopping, it's an elaborate coutship ritual we have (I'll have to blog about it some time, but, yeah, going to the record store is a "couple activity", and has a long history of him and I digging in every used CD bin and flirting with each other!)

I agree with Mocha and Soon-To-Be-Dr.-Cara - All Hail Retail Therapy!

Music is my usual splurge purchase of choice. I just got the new Mary J. Blige cd (Rocks!), I'm getting a bluegrass cd as part of my recent NPR pledge, I have tickets to a folk music concert next week, AND I'm consider ordering online a French Alternative cd that I can't seem to find anywhere in the States. I think all this music therapy should help me get through the upcoming Feb. 14th torture.

Maybe.
