Funny thing...

I used to love to shop. Clothes, home items, kitchen equipment, crafts - I could shop 'til I drop. After deciding to adopt, it's been different. I know I'm on a tight budget to save for agency payments, nursery furniture, and all those other things I need to buy. Last night, I went to the mall to buy a celebration gift for finishing my dossier. Staying away from clothes, I realized there wasn't much I could buy for the nursery since I haven't decided on color schemes. I need to get my sister down here pronto so she can help me put together things. She's the designer in the family. Not as a career, but she has a good eye of what looks together. So I ended up buying some cute Christmas place mats and fifteen boxes of pantyhose since they were on sale for half off. ;)

When I got home I spoke with my mom who introduced me to ebay. Oh my! The deals on nursery stuff! I think I found the stroller I want to get as well as a rug (if it matches what I end up with for bedding, etc. What fun!

Ebay rocks! Unfortunately for me when I'm suppose to be saving money I have strong desires to shop.... You did good though.
