I'm Nearly There!

I've got another story. I know I'm kind of a broken record lately...but this is my life right now. This is my joy.

I didn't have pink polka dotted underwear on...but I did have a little pep in my step and $225 burning in my pocket.

I've done all my underwear shopping online so far...but I decided to head out to some local stores in search of quality, but reasonable priced underwear. And I really wanted to find some polka dots. After three stops and a short time in the mall...I was a bit discouraged. I was clearly in the wrong places. 

Then I remembered Marden's...a local surplus and salvage store. I was ready to be home and just get back online...but I rallied and decided to make this one last stop. 

When I first walked in I thought oh no...I can't do this. It's a big warehouse type store and always seems a bit chaotic. I also had my prescription sunglasses still on...and didn't take the time to go back to the car for my regular glasses. But I got a cart and headed out on my mission looking through my rose colored glasses....and I hit the jackpot!

The prices were great...and the brands familiar. I tried to get something for everyone: girls, boys, men and women. I piled things up by price so I could have a rough estimate of how much I was spending....but I really had no idea. I wish I would have taken a photo of my cart.

I got to the check out and Jeannette was a little surprised at my cart full of underwear...with a few polka dots here and there.

I briefly explained my story and we had a good chat as we bagged everything up in bright red Marden's bags and she gave me permission to take her photo. 

You will NOT believe what my total was.

$224.38! 62 cents to spare!!! 

Jeanette and I celebrated!

I knew how much I spent...but not how many pairs I got. So the first thing I did when I got home was tally it all up. 

205 pairs of underwear today.

Putting my total at 461!

I'm nearly there!

I'm tickled pink!
