Post Christmas Blues...ugh...the drop off from the build up can be brutal. It's even worse when you miss your kiddies and your mother. So I did a few things that surprised even me. I don't do shopping. I especially don't do it to feel better or when it's crazy like the day after Christmas. Two things got me out and about. 1. A sale that I heard about at JC Penney that included buy 2 get 2 free bras. Was way beyond due on this need. Now don't say I don't share with you. 2. A visit with my friend, Jenne. The woman works retail. The really, really tough kind. Clothing at the Outlets kind. She left a hubby and sweet little girl at 5am to tend to the grumpy crowds of returns and sale seekers. I remember the days well and know how much it hurts. So as I left the mall I realized I needed to see her...for her as well as for me. We tend to giggle when we get together and it truly does make me feel better. We fought our way through food courts and foreigners and found our way back to the break room where we shared a lunch. We caught up on stories of Christmas and made some plans for the new year that is quickly approaching. I battled the traffic to get to her but it was well worth it. Sometimes a girl needs some support and today I got two different types! ;)
