Retail therapy

I've sworn up and down this blog that training for a marathon is great therapy.  That's all well and good when I actually have a marathon to train for, but what now?  This week marks the beginning of a rough time of year for me, starting with my mom's birthday and soon after that, mother's day.  I tell you, you never notice how many commercials and advertisements are geared towards mother's day until it's somewhat of a sore subject for you (as I just typed that sentence three commercials were just on that mentioned buying something for mom).  So anyways, with no marathon in sight, what's a girl to do?  Buy a new pair of jeans, naturally.  Maybe I should find another marathon to run...
