Shopping shopping shopping


Argh. On this very exciting day, the day I am going to bring my new car home, I am a bit sad.

I am sad because in the near and far future, there are a series of shopping trips coming up. Don't get me wrong, I love to shop, I love to spend a little time away from my responsibilities, maybe pick up something new and pretty, and love love love spending the time with my girlfriends. What I don't love is the worry beforehand and figuring and refiguring how much I can and should spend, and where it's going to come from. How can I find "extra" money when I'm already having to cut back so much, and all the "extra" I do manage to save, I already have a place for it to go...?

I know that some of you that I will be going with are reading this blog (bless your hearts!) and I am hoping for understanding, that I don't come across on the trips as being not fun to shop with... I want to be part of it all, and enjoy the time together... but I can't buy much. I will find a little "extra" from somewhere... And I'm hoping to find a kindred spirit or two for the trips.

On the upside, I know that the restraint will pay off (pardon the pun!) in the long run, and I will be able to sleep better knowing where all my little pennies are.

  2. There'll always be enough money to do the things you want to do. It's just a matter of choosing what you want to do most at the time.
