That was the title of the post I wrote 2 hours ago but apparently Joomla! does not auto save posts and so that brilliant post of mine is now lost.   All because I took a break from writing and started to shop online.  Heh.  Damn you JCrew dot com and your beautiful shiny accessories.

Are you lost?

*tap*  *tap*  Is this blog on?

You see.  I divorced the blogging platform of blogger dot com and am on my own now.  I have to admit...  there is something incredibly liberating about losing 800 followers in 24 hours after changing blogging platforms.  I.  Can.  Write like no one is reading this blog.

My mother and I closed Neimans the other night.  In the middle of a nationwide recession.  

I have yet to tell my husband now much the Diane Von Furstenberg pencil skirt set us back but I am quite sure that when I frolic around in it after hours to give him the entire picture he will be pleasantly surprised. 

You see..... on a whim, after my three children were in bed under my parent's roof in Chicago, my mother and I darted to Neimans minutes before they closed in search of stilettos.  Instead, I walked out with not only a delicious new pair of sexy heels but also with practical black trousers and my beloved upgraded adult-like pencil skirt. My mother, convinced that I start acting like a 30 year-old and stop purchasing quantity over quality, forked over half the bill for my practical "to-be-taken seriously" professional wardrobe. 

Because, I am officially at my wits ends of being a SAHM and am pursing future endeavors.  In which I need less of yoga pants and more of sexy office skirts. And I have to cut this brilliant post short because I desperately need to convince my husband that my mommy is right.  Because ohmygawd you should see how that skirt hugs the curves that my three children so lovingly bestowed upon me. 

The final Neiman's bill?   Perhaps I should get the husband to guest post the final result.
