I've been shopping, but I still sometimes feel trapped in the 90s. Except for shoes -- nothing I had before Gus was born fit afterwards, SUCH a bummer. I know, right?

I had quite a time going out and finding better shoes to make me look like I'd been shopping sometime in the past decade. This is what happens when you telecommute, go back to school, and then have a baby: clothes end up in two categories: sloppy and dinner party.

Now I have this problem of buying things then they don't fit the next year, not to complain, but it's pissing me off! But that is an issue for another post. Bah, stupid shopping.

I loved those! I haven't bought a pair in years (do they come in maternity? I just realized I haven't worn my own body's winter clothes since 2005-06!) They used to sell Hue and all kinds of wonderful clothes at a store a few blocks from my mom's. The place was once upon a time a fruit market, then this cool place. Now it is still a clothing store (the very window in which I saw the plaid maryjanes!) but not the same owners. They (the owners) were twins. For the longest time I thought it was just one driven lady! Hue, Hue, Hue. I had magenta, dark purple, and I think navy. OK I'm sitting here eating Eggs Benedict and doing work (this restaurant is too kind, I've been hacking away in here 2 days in a row! Friday deadlines!) but I really want to go shopping now! I think I will, later today, after the sweepstakes check arrives and all the kids nap at the same time and hell freezes...no, seriously, I might. :-) Yeah, Hue rocks! I loved those!
