Shopping Cures

Ok, I'm officially stressed. This whole home-buying-building project is taking a toll on my nerves, more than I thought they would. I try to tell myself this should be a happy experience and there's no need to worry, but that's obviously not working because I think I need an outlet to release all this stress haha. We haven't broke ground yet on the construction, but we have had meetings with the project manager, flooring, kitchen, and electrical people. I suppose this should be a fun experience, but I soon found-out that I don't really have much enthusiasm for looking over carpet swatches or kitchen cabinets and knobs. I am definitely not an interior designer and unfortunately neither is the hubby so our color combinations and selections might be interesting for some people haha I'll have more info/photos about the place as more things come along, but in general it is a three story townhouse with 3 bedrooms and 2.5 baths. We're slated to start construction in mid-November so with all this waiting, I've sort of found a stress outlet...clothes shopping. So far I've bought some new suede boots, a couple sweaters, a few tops, and some dress pants. All on sale of course ;) But I was never one for going out to the stores, going into the dreaded fitting room and assembling an outfit. I am usually the 'fragmented shopper'...I'd buy a piece of clothing that I liked, only to go home and realize that I don't have anything that matches or goes with it. With the new items I bought, they really complement my current wardrobe. I feel like I'm finally tapping into some hidden clothes shopping skills :) So for those couple hours spent perusing clothing racks and shelves, I didn't think about waiting for the house to be built.
