I learned several important life lessons this weekend. Here are the happy ones: sangria is a wonderful thing and a Lord & Taylor 15% discount coupon given to you by a friendly coworker is a great reason to go shopping. I bought a very cute black sweater and two pairs of earrings. I passed up a pair of tan linen pants that looked really good on me (and really good with the cute black sweater) because even a 15% discount doesn't do much to justify $70 pants. But, while my restraint may have been admirable, I have to admit that I haven't been able to get those pants off my mind. I guess the right thing to do is not always the easiest - another important life lesson.  ¶ 11:59 AM
