Today was a shopping day.  For the very first time, Jason kept BOTH kids, all by himself, for several hours.  He survived, the kids survived, and the house survived.  But that isn’t the part I’m all jazzed about.

Oh no.

My mother and I went shopping.  Not only did we go shopping, we kicked some shopping ass, and I did my part to stimulate the economy, believe you me!

I bought a dress.  No, not a dress.  A gown.  An amazing gown that will make my husband forget that I am a mother of two, and see me as the goddess fallen to Earth that I am.

I also bought shoes.  Otherwise known as FM Shoes.  Oh yeah, those.

And a wrap, just in case it gets cold at Navy Pier this Wednesday, where Jason and I will be attending a wedding.

Also, jewelery. Earrings and a necklace.  Lovely lovely lovelies.

A purse.  Too hold of my necessities, what with still being a nursing mama.

And of course, appropriate foundation garments.

All in one day, and all for UNDER $200.

The dress was in fact the 3rd one I tried on. First (and only) trip to a fitting room.  And it was 50% off.

I never have this kind of luck, this is what in my family, we call Megan luck after my sister who can wear anything off the rack and buys a swimsuit in less than 10 minutes and looks amazing in!

Well, the whole shebang took me a little longer than 10 minutes, but we were home before 5, and I got everything I need to look amazing.

I should go buy a lottery ticket with luck like this!
