I have a terrible case of 'The Gimmies'.
It all started last Friday when I took sick (previous post has
And we had to go to my brothers the next day, normally when I go somewhere we pack loads of food, I decided to only pack what I could stand up for, and buy the rest out...
Then Saturday AM I called for some reason or other and brother mentioned the pirate game, so instead of turning around and getting the cards we already own to play, I said sure buy new packs while getting medicine for the snots (little snot at home is fine, when out, I try to contain it), of course you can't buy yourself a present when visiting and not get one for the visitee's, so suprises all around, and few nice gifts as well (put away for birthday or christmas)
Then we eat out lunch (managed to pack snacks, but thats it) on the way to brothers (5 hour drive)
Fortunatly during the week I was too sick to want anything.
Till Thursday, when I was healthy enough to want plenty again. Sent husband to the store for a need, and almost called for junk, turns out I didn't have to call, he bought some anyway.....for the kids for putting up with a sick momma for so long...and chocolate, and bowls, we'll have get the bowl problem in its own post someday.
Then yesterday I stay up late researching swords...like I need one! and I spend time thinking of what I want for 30 bucks, and we filed our taxes , yeah sure I put smart things in my blog, but really in my head I was thinking of some really nice stuff to get (like one of those swords...or at least one of the paintings...).
Today I awoke in a funky mood, I wanted all sorts of things I normaly don't think about, like a new chain for my necklace, sure I miss wearing it, but normally spending that kind of money to replace a decoration is out of the thought process..today I had trouble not asking my husband to stop at the mall after the library to pick one up..I settled for cutting his leather up into a necklace...and now we need to buy him new leather, but honestly leather is cheaper, and he can live without. (it is for his hair, which is 'only' mid back length)
At Bjs I had troubles, I want that vaccume cleaner....it had circular brushes, so my long hair wouldn't break it.....and that bedding ....and those new books...and the chocolate...oooh that organizer thingie.....and those cookies.....and .....and.....and
Good grief! I noticed my dire situation at BJs and practically begged my daughter to need a potty to get me OUT! Actually my youngest son obliged but hey it worked.
I escaped, and my husband finished the shopping alone, in the end no more than usual was spent $72 (food plus easy ups.)
Though I did use my own card to pay
