I am a horrible shopper. I can go to a store looking for one specific item and leave with a bag full of crap I already own. I should not be allowed to shop alone.
If you looked at my shopping habits, it would appear that I am not only an avid golfer, but I am also addicted to exercise. Both of which I am not. I golf and I jog but to be avid at either, I would need to spend less time shopping and more time golfing and jogging. However, every time I go in T.J. Maxx, I leave with new golf clothes and a sports bra. My theory is...I might not be good at golf, but I want to look good at golf. I might not be a good runner, but I want to look like I should be running. I have two weeks worth of golf skirts. During a good week, I golf once. I love golf skirts so much that I thought about just wearing them around town. My delusional hope is that everyone would think, "Oh, she must be a golfer." Just like if I was walking around Target in scuba gear. Everyone would just say, "Oh, she must be a scuba diver."
Might I also mention my obsession with vaccuum cleaners. This year alone, I have bought two. I will research which vaccuum cleaner is best and know for certain where I should go to get the best deal. Yet I always buy the cheapest one with the hopes that it will magically make me love vaccuuming. I know for a fact that Dysons are the best. I also know that the amount I spend on those two vaccuums could have been combined to buy one Dyson. Alas, I buy the junk vaccuums and regret not spending the money. Did I mention we don't have carpet.
There is hope. I was once a flip flop fanatic. At one point, I owned over 25 pairs. I have learned that happiness cannot be attained by having a pair of flip flops in every color. Today, I can leave Old Navy without a bag full of cheap flips. I have come a LONG way.
Truth is, flip flops make running impossible and look funny with golf skirts. If you see me at a store and I have a golf skirt, flip flops, or any vaccuum other than a Dyson, please intervene. If I have a sports bra, please don't intervene. That might just be the sports bra that makes look like a runner.
