Okay, actually I'm just thinking about trying to save money at the moment. The truth is: A) I'm spoiled; B) I play the "life is short, might as well enjoy it" card all too often; C) I have no willpower; and D) I like to pretend that my big break is just around the corner and everything is going to work out perfectly so I don't have to worry. I know it's wrong, wrong, wrong, but I can't stop!
Check in each week to take a peek (cringe) at the things I probably shouldn't be buying...
July 25 - August 1, 2010
Yes, it sounds silly, but I'm fascinated by this kind of stuff. I went with one of my good friends and we had fun comparing notes after our separate hour long readings. Could be a perfect waste of money, but it was certainly an entertaining way to spend a Sunday afternoon. The best part is, she also thinks that my big break is just around the corner, in the form of a national commercial. (Come on big money!) I can't wait to see if she's right!
2. 600 Thread Count Egyptian Cotton Sheets, $70
Mine needed replaced, so I went for an upgrade and I have no regrets. These are so freaking comfy. I don't know how I ever lived without them. I even love them when I can't sleep because it actually feels good to toss and turn. Seriously, go get some. Search Amazon.com for 600 Thread count egyptian cotton sheets
3. Vintage Bakelite Bracelets, $50
My boss found these on a buying trip and I insisted that he bring some back for me. I figure I deserve a little perk for running the store all by myself while he's jet-setting around the world looking at pretty things. Gotta work your connections, right? Search Amazon.com for vintage bakelite bracelets
4. Keurig Platinum Mini Brewer B315
$99
My old one died this week and I couldn't possibly live without it. I'm a busy modern woman with no time to wait for a whole pot of coffee to brew the old fashioned way. A very necessary splurge.
5. Apple iPhone 4 32GB, $299
I'm a bad, bad, girl. I was going to wait until my contract was up in November, but I hate waiting! If I'm going to be a blogger, I'm going to need a camera with a flash and the ability to take a self portrait at all times, right? I went for the 32GB because I also like to always have all of my music (security blanket) with me. Plus, I decided that if I was going to take the plunge, it would be better to do it before the holidays. How's that for somewhat-responsible budgeting? Not very good, I know.
Here's hoping my psychic is right about that commercial...!
