Aaahhhh.... nothing like a good shopping thread!!!!
Throughout college and for a while after graduation, I had jobs that looked great on my resume, but the pay was AWFUL. In January, I finally landed a great job with a great salary!! Since I am neither a wife nor a mother, I just have myself to support, and I have had a lovely time splurging!
I recently returned to my alma mater to visit some good friends from college, and while I was there, I did some mega shopping. I spent a small fortune at the University Bookstore, buying an elaborate diploma frame (gotta have something nice to display that really expensive piece of paper!), nifty stuff for my office emblazoned with the university crest, and lots of university shirts and jackets and stuff (my current beau is an alum of my school's rival, so we have a fun rivalry going on!).
My most recent big purchase though is a car. I bought my first car over the weekend!!!! I had driven the same small vehicle for six years, and it really had seen better days. It needed a lot of work, so I finally broke down and purchased a new vehicle! I am now the proud owner of a beautiful 2002 Nissan Altima.
