No Clothes for a Year Update
So I exaggerated the time a bit--it won't be until July 20 that I reach the first month of No Shopping for a Year (NSFY) but I'm nearly there.
I'm proud to report that I survived the first post-NSFY Target trip without any purchases other than gum. Loads of chewing gum. And breakfast cereal. A trip to the arts-and-crafts store Michael's resulted in a sign (Hippies use the Backdoor. No Exceptions) and a cup with a reusable straw. Really necessary things, right? But they aren't clothing items.
The Target and Michael's visits did make me consider, though, whether I need a complete shopping hiatus. I think the Hippies use Backdoor (their misspelling, not mine) sign is a really good, um, sign that I might need to enforce a necessities-only rule. Don't you think?
