It's Been an Expensive Day . . .

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

BRB . . .

. . . busy browsing Black Friday deals on Amazon (another reason for the internet to trump real life), trying not to go crazy with the gothic jewelry. ZOMG, this is going to kill me.

I think, just to keep myself from spending over 100 bucks (funny how "good deals" suddenly make you feel like throwing cash out the window), I'll just have to restrict myself to the essentials. A better fake engagement ring (pretty cashiers having to suffer grandpas hitting on them all the time MUST have something, even though the eyesight of said grandpas probably can't pick it up) and a snake ring. Because I have always, always wanted a snake ring, and couldn't find one in my size and price range. Until now. Mwa ha ha . . .
