Retail therapy: the cause of, and solution to, all life's problems...

So I was decompensating earlier:

I decided to go out and spend some money.

I bought:

A case of MRE's
4 dog toys (A rope, a fish, a quail, and a starfish, all different textures)
A dog brush
2 large ham bones for when the dogs are going crazy
"The Dog Whisperer"
"Spanish in 30 Days"
The latest Nevada Barr in paperback ("Hard Truth")
"Eats, Shoots, and Leaves"
"Atonement" by Ian McEwan
"The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time"
Soyrizo (GOOD STUFF!)
Margarita mix
Small bottle of Jose Cuervo
A small Maidenhair Fern

I got home and ate a burrito while drinking two margaritas and reading "The Dog Whisperer" and now everthing is okay. :D

1. Shopping is very therapeutic.

But no Ben & Jerry's? ;-)

2. No bras?

I thought this was Do Something Nice For Your Breasts Day. :shrug:

3. Considering my older dog

kicked me really hard in the boob while I was *trying* to read the Wretched Penlight I think trying to get the damn dogs to mellow out *IS* doing something nice for my breasts.

5. Damn

Even dogs get more action than me.

6. They're in lockdown mode

And FWIW, I hate bra shopping. :P

7. Oh I hear you! I hate to shop for bras too.......

Fit perfectly......:bounce: :bounce:

8. I used to shop as therapy

That resulted in lots of bills, which necessitated working many hours to pay them off, which just made me more unhappy. I've discovered shopping is not nearly as therapeutic as it seems on the surface. :-(

9. Since we cut up all our credit cards (except for one emergency card)

I have bought next to nothing..and I love it:)

[XemaSab]

10. I'm not usually a big shopping person

Basically what I bought is food, dog toys, books, and alcohol.

What more do you need? :D

11. Soyrizo is awesome

:9 I like it with peppers, onions and potato, either wrapped up in a tortilla or stuffed back in the baked potato skin.

12. Yummah!

I just use it for quick and easy burritos.

1 can refried beans, half a tube of soyrizo, big chunk of cheese, 1/4 jar of salsa verde, and fat gobs of tapatio.

Heat it all together, then cut up some avocado and lettuce and throw it all in a tortilla.

It takes under 10 minutes and it's GOOD. :9


Mexican noodles:

Cook some noodles. Add cheese, soyrizo, and salsa. Stir. :9

When I lived in Oakhurst, I ate these two recipes like, 5 times a week or so. I had no life and no energy to cook.
