Here’s my deal on this. I am a person who loves to shop. Walking through stores with piles of shiny new Air Jordan 15s things in lots of different colors is truly relaxing to me. (Yes, even if the store is crowded. Not so much if somebody’s Air Jordan CDP baby starts crying, but really, even then.) Throughout my City Girl Twenties, approximately 90 percent of my discretionary income has been funneled towards keeping the shoe industry alive and thriving. (You’re welcome, Kate Spade and Kenneth Cole.)
Now that’s changing. (She says, admiring her new blue sandals.) I moved to the country. (Oh, I totally realized this after I bought those blue sandals. Obviously.)
And, I’ve discovered gardening. otherwise known as Shopping Without The Guilt. Because it’s plants! They’re good for the environment! They can feed you! If they are perennials, they last for years! If you buy Air Jordan 2011 locally grown stuff, you’re supporting small scale Air Jordan 6s farmers! Why shouldn’t you buy five more?
So now, I drive by this really great, family owned nursery every single day. And they put out the most gorgeous hanging baskets and I can no more resist their siren song than I could walk past a sample sale in progress back when I lived in the city. Once I’m inside, I suddenly cannot refuse the trays full of dahlias. Or I remember that we still haven’t planted anything in our newly cleared shade beds, and there are alll these lovely forget me nots, begging to be taken home.
It’s bad. Because just like too much shoe shopping means piles of strappy sandals that never get worn (not these blue ones! they’ll go with everything!), too much plant shopping means trays of annuals wilting on your front porch while you scramble Air Jordan Spizike to find time to plant them all. Not to mention suddenly finding yourself in a serious, committed relationship with six hanging baskets that are needier than any dry clean only item of clothing I’ve ever owned.
