shopping update...ahem

well i know you are all wondering how its been going. the no shop zone that is...well i can tell you its going not too shabbily if i do say so myself! mariss and i have been backing each other up. we try to do things that focus away from shopping - outdoor walks (not lovely in this -what i refer to as - the longest november ever), cottage trips with very little shopping opps, and now we have enlisted in bootcamp...ouch. so we start tonight on one month of paying someone to yell at us to work out harder - sigh.... on the upside we have lasted one whole month without shopping. yup no extras at shoppers, no joe fresh...and honestly? it hasnt been that hard! i know i know its only been a month, but that leaves us only 90ish days to go and well as soon as you break through the triple digits on the countdown...you cant help but feel a sense of lightness. and to those of you who have fallen off the wagon (and you know who you are ;)) no worries just stand up, dust off and jump back on...remember misery loves company!
