Well I've got it...the two month itch. What is the two month itch, you might ask? Well, I have not bought a thing outside of groceries and gas for two full months now. Not a thing. If I can't eat it or run my car with it, I'm not buying it.
But the other day I needed to stop at the store to pick up a birthday present for my friend. The place didn't take a check card. So I went to the local cash machine and withdrew twenty dollars. That left me with ten dollars burning a hole in my wallet. Did I save it for an emergency or to put it towards groceries? No. It took me approximately ten seconds to look around a locate a lovely re-sale boutique to pop into and spend all of that ten dollars on a shirt and a sweater. Ahhhhhh, I missed being a consumer.
Now, mind you, I did not go to the Gap or the Limited or any place like that to spend. Mind you, I probably could only buy one sock at one of those stores with ten dollars, if that. I went to a Goodwill-owned boutique. "The Re-Tique" Cute, huh? They had super cute stuff and nothing I saw was more than $7.99.
I'm also slated to go out to dinner with my girlfriends on Monday. I suggested Noodles since I still have my gift card for there from a generous donor! But my sister says she'd rather buy me dinner than go to Noodles for a girls night out.
I also went to Target and bought our Halloween Trick or Treat candy and let each kid pick out a $10.00 or less toy.
Yep, its the two month itch. I'll settle down now.... something tells me in two months from now..there'll be some more spending going on again.
