It's Been an Expensive Day . . .

[gothrockrulz]

Recently, I've been keeping myself on a strict spending limit in order to save for the future. I've been really good the last couple months . . . and today my self-control crumbled.

Here's what started it all: http://piperlime.gap.com/browse/product.do?pid=901473&locale=en_US&kwid=1&sem=false&sdReferer=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2Furl%3Fsa%3Dt%26rct%3Dj%26q%3Dbetsey%2520johnson%2520b05197-n01%26source%3Dweb%26cd%3D1%26ved%3D0CD8QFjAA%26url%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.piperlime.com%252Fproducts%252Fbetsey-johnson-rose-charm-necklace-P901473.jsp%26ei%3Dd9I1T_f-E8qpsAKq-4XvAQ%26usg%3DAFQjCNFni8NHz2qc7S02bfl2pNvc8YT3rQ

I was innocently minding my own business at work today, serving my time at the jewelry counter as back-up, since we're anticipating brisk Valentine's day business, and then WHAM! Love at first sight. Violent love, I should say. (If you think you can't possibly be violently in love with a piece of jewelry, I TELL YOU, YOU CAN!)

Next thing I knew, I was putting it on hold for safekeeping . . . and then spider earrings to match it found their way in there . . . and then something else I'd had my eye on . . . and something else . . . and something else . . .

And it didn't end there. What did I do when I got home? Why, naturally, I hopped on to Amazon and ordered two Evanescence albums and a L'arc en Ciel album to boot. We must be thorough, yes, precious.

And now, we must limit our expenses to gas only, yes . . . (Just so you all know, I tend to revert to Gollum-talk with myself without even realizing it.) :D

Wow that necklace is indeed very pretty!

LOL--wow, you're exactly like me. Save nicely for a good long while, and then buy ALL THE THINGS in one fell swoop.

I wanna be honest that I hate Valentine day!!!

[sindorei-x.livejournal.com]

Evanescence albums and L'arc en Ciel album ahh!!
Nice collection my sister!

Ahaha, I got that necklace for Christmas. Betsey Johnson is one of my favorite designers, and I absolutely love her work. It's so worth splurging on - you have good taste!

[gothrockrulz.livejournal.com]

You've got the same one? Squee! I love Betsey Johnson's stuff as well--though the woman herself frankly scares me. LOL! Thank you for your compliment on my taste. I think I can safely say that you have good taste, too. ;D

*high fives* I do, too. Too sappy for me. And it idealizes things so much, people get sad when things aren't perfect, the way they're led to believe Valentine's day should be.

[gothrockrulz.livejournal.com]

Why, thank you! :D

[gothrockrulz.livejournal.com]

Thanks! :)

LOL indeed! My self-control can only stay rigid for so long before the pressure causes it to crumble.

[gothrockrulz.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

I have never a boyfriend but I have any beautiful memory :( because life is so hard.Therefore I don't valentine day at all.

[sindorei-x.livejournal.com]

Yes,you're right.I can't find anything to say.

[gothrockrulz.livejournal.com]

I've never had a boyfriend, either. We're the same! :)

[pearlessence.livejournal.com]

We have matching necklaces! I will think of you whenever I wear it. ;D Haha, yes, designers can sometimes be interesting people, can't they? But her stuff is marvelous. And thank you for the compliment.
