Shopaholic vs. Devil

I loved Confessions of a Shopaholic. What a cute, fun, but yet thought-provoking movie. It also brought to mind one of my other all-time favorites - The Devil Wears Prada.

I loved both lead actresses. Anne and Isla, you were both phenomenal. I would give Anne the slight edge in wardrobe, as I am just not quite as funky and colorful as Becky Bloomwood. (Sorry, Patricia Field, but I was after most of Charlotte's wardrobe, not Carrie's.)

Cute boys all around - Hugh, Adrian, Simon.

And let's just talk about the stellar supporting casts. Wow!

• Meryl, Stanley, Rich, and, most of all, Emily - loved loved loved you in Prada.


• Kristin, Wendie, Joan, John, John, Leslie - I confess my love.

Lenten Shopping Ban - Day 1

So, day 1... How did it go? Pretty well. I worked at home in the AM, and then saw Confessions of a Shopaholic in the afternoon before the kids got home from school. A very good way to start off a break from shopping. Cute, cute movie - very fun. And some definite food for thought. Interestingly enough, my book club is discussing the book Friday night. (yes, I have read the book)

My son almost did me in, though, when he asked for a pair of (really cute and very cool) shorts from the Land's End catalog - and they had a 20% promo today and today only. I told Michael that we would get the shorts when it was actually shorts weather. I'm sure it won't be the last promo. And he never asks for anything. Maybe an Easter present?

I have sort of started on the clean up closet project. I should post before and after pics. I had to do a quick go through to put together my bag for the consignment shop on Friday. I really, really need to wade in there, though.

Tomorrow, I'll be at home working all day, except for a quick run to the pharmacy to pick up a prescription. The not-shopping does seem to free up some time! I really should be using some of that to go through the closet, though...
