Impulse buying

This afternoon I went to Target to get printer ink. I came out with:

Clorox sanitizing wipes
Organic fruit leather
Cinnamon rolls
1 toddler toothbrush
2 packages of Christmas stationery

And, no printer ink. They were out of stock.

LOL, I would've had some kid/baby clothes or shoes too, and the reason I would have had no printer ink would have been that I forgot, not that they were out!

OR that I would have walked away leaving my purchase on the cashier's counter (as I have too many times to count!)

So glad I'm not the only one who does this. Fruit leather sounds good, too.

The fruit leather was because we were on the way to the doctor to get Sophie's flu shot, so I wanted a nice healthy treat for her. Well, she didn't even cry and as soon as we were done the nurse handed her a sucker. Oh well.

I do that all the time. I'll go in for one thing and come out with 10. Especially at Target and especially at the grocery store...sigh...

I got the Pillsbury cinnamon rolls in a tube--they were on sale. I actually haven't baked them yet because we decided to save them for Sunday morning.

The Truth Comes Out

I have a problem when it comes to buying shoes. Well, it's actually a problem with buying clothing in general. I'm cheap. Very cheap. I tend to have arbitrary price limits in my head and refuse to buy anything that costs more than that. This does come in handy considering our limited funds for things like clothing and shoes, but it also means that I tend to have a wardrobe of odd, non-matching, ill-fitting clothes. While it's true that I have found some great things at thrift stores and on clearance, I definitely have other clothes that are just plain lame. I will often choose to buy things because they are cheap, even sacrificing what I really want because it doesn't fit my predetermined price conventions. I am convincing myself to buy this jacket because it is comfortable, stylish, fits a wardrobe need (I don't have a blazer or jacket), and matches a skirt I already have.

Happy, Happy Blog-day Foxy Dear

Tomorrow marks the second anniversary of my blog. I had no idea where my life would go when I started this blog, and it's fun for me to read back through the archives and remember feelings and events that I have already forgotten. I think the most surprising thing about blogging that I have discovered is the sense of community. I have about fifty blogs that I follow somewhat regularly; many of them are people I haven't ever met in person. I still consider them to be my friends. I've been very grateful for all the virtual support I've received from so many people who don't really even "know" me. Miss Nemesis recently celebrated her blog's special day by asking lurkers to come out of the woodwork and reveal who they were and how they found her blog. She got 52 comments. If you want to make my day, see if you can top her numbers. Maybe then I can change my blognym to "Queen of the Universe".
