Excersized the wallet this weekend but forgot to stretch!

Went to Edmonton for the weekend which was great. It only cost me $10 as I got a ride with a coworker. Got to visit with Amber and had a blast. Before I went down I knew it was going to be largely a shopping trip and sure enough discovered Best Buy, some new shops in West Edmonton Mall and rediscovered many old shops and IKEA. Several hundred dollars later on a lot of stuff I could do without I have returned home with sore feet, stiff neck and arms, and more bags than I could carry by myself. The moral of this story is don't go shopping alone in West Ed. You find a lot more and there's nobody there to convince you that you don't really need something. Not that Amber was much help in that department when she was with me (nor, for that matter, was I much help to her). Either way I had fun, it was totally worth it and I look forward to going back again, this time without quite so much of the shopping!
