My baby is a teenager!

It’s now official. My baby, the last one of 3, is a teenager.

The decision of delivering her on Christmas Eve or December 28th was a no brainer. In hindsight having a December birthday has really worked in her favor. We might go a little overboard to make sure she feels the love on her birthday.

Yesterday we started out at Ulta and 5 Below. She struck out on overpriced pigmented blush and a new Sol de Janeiro. We headed over to the mall and she struck the jackpot at Sephora. The rest of the trip is a little hazy. All of the stores started to look the same. We rounded out the afternoon with lunch at The Cheesecake Factory. It was a great day.

Today I woke up and decided that I was going to go after Christmas shopping and thrifting. I definitely have buyer’s remorse for the stuff I got at Hobby Lobby. So much so that I made Chuck call and see if I could return clearance items. Thank goodness they said that with a receipt it can be returned. I don’t know what it is about at clearance sale but it’s like I lose all of my common sense. I bought all kinds of Grinch decorations. You know the ones that are 3ft tall and everything that went with them. Right down to the Grinch ramen bowl. I know damn well there is no way in hell I would let my kids decorate my house in Grinch decorations. I’m a bit neurotic about my holiday decorations.
