What's Your Thing?

Everyone has a weakness for something. For my sister Holly, it's diaper bags among other things. For my sister Mindy, it's jeans. My friend Kerry has a thing for lip products. For many others, it's shoes (you know who you are). For me, it's picture frames of all things, although I've seriously managed to curb that addiction in recent years. Point is, I don't know what the latest fashions are and I'm not plugged into the names of designer bags, jeans, perfumes, etc. When my sister-in-law April called to tell me that she had found a pair of $6 jeans that might be my size at the D.I. I was flattered that she would think of me. What she didn't know at the time of the purchase is the orginal price of these puppies. That's right, Rock & Republic jeans go for $250 on average!!! Funny thing is, my $29 gap jeans fit me just as well although I do feel a little more special sliding these bad boys on. Too bad I'm scared to wash them!!

Hmmmm...I'm not sure I have a "thing". If I had to choose I would have to say that I do have a difficult time leaving a school supply store, a bookstore, and Deseret Book or Seagull (for pics AND books), without purchasing something.
