Adventures from the Mall

The fambly and I just got back from the mall.  Brandon and I decided to do our Valentine's shopping early, and together.  It was fun!  (Aside from how INSANE it was there - what, are people flocking to the mall to buy like Superbowl Suckday outfits or something?)  At any rate.

Brandon asked me what I wanted for V Day, and I was like, "Let's go to Victoria's Secret!"  And he got all excited, thinking of all the dirty lingerie I was going to buy for this glorious lover's holiday.  So he went to another store while I went to look around, and I come home with...wait for it...SWEATS.  Yeah, right.  Lingerie, me?  NO THANKS.  Sorry sweetie!


Brandon hadn't yet been into H&M, so I suggested we go there and check out some of the mens' stuff; see if he might like any of it.  I still maintain that I don't much like the womens' stuff, and in fact haven't yet bought anything for me yet.  But that's neither here nor there for the purpose of bringing this up.  As we were walking into the store, Brandon was like, "H&M.  What kind of name is that?  H&M should NOT be the name of a store.  It should be slang for some dirty sexual thing you do to another person.  Hey, Brie, can I get an H&M from you tonight?"  ...And he's right, huh?!  I'll never think of the store the same again...

I also got an awesome pair of running shoes, and they'll be awesome as soon as I can, er, actually run.  The All Knowing Treatment Team has decided I can't run - I can do other forms of exercise and cardio, but apparently running "triggers and aggravates" my eating disorder.  Well, as far as I'm concerned, NOT running is what triggers and aggravates me, but whatever.  I've had my eyes on these shoes for quite awhile now, so I'm just happy they are finally in my greedy little clutches!


We also got lotsa stuff for Brandon, but that's not nearly as entertaining, so I'll stop there.  :)  Hope everyone's weekend is going swell!

I am OBSESSED with VS Pink Boyfriend Sweats. I must have at least 10 pairs. At *least*. I'm a whore for them.

Erin said...

What the...? They don't sell that style anymore! Well good thing I have a gazillion pairs...

Erin said...

Serious question: What do YOU think of what the treatment team says about running? Do you think it trips you up in recovery?

brie said...

Erin are you sure they don't sell the boyfriends anymore? Maybe is that just online? Cuz I know they sell them in stores!

brie said...

Oh and about the running thing...
I think they are probably right. It sucks to admit it, but when I start running, I automatically get more calorie and weight conscious. I want to eventually be able to run eating disorder free, but I think it's something I need to ease into. So, exploring other forms of exercise is probably good. I need cardio to improve lung function, do finding other forms of cardio other than running is my first goal. Hopefully I like it!

Ghent about dies whenever we go to VS and I head straight for the sweats. He tries to encourage my lacy shopping, but I just like the loose comfy feel of soft sweats and hoodies. It's casual sexy...right?!?!

Those are super cute running shoes. What brand are they?
Anyhow... Isn't shopping just the most glorious thing, EVER?! I would say so.

P.S. Cute sweats! :)

LOL! That's what "Jordan" bought me for Valentine's Day too. Sweats from VS are the only way to go. LOVE them!

Love the "lingerie." I practically live in sweats so I better love them. :) Good luck figuring out the exercising balance. It's especially hard to do in the middle of winter since it seems like most options are not as easy or unavailable. I personally like group kickboxing classes and swimming for cardio.
PS-Again, LOVE Miss Mila's dress and headband. Adorable.
