The Spendthrift's Progress

On a completely different note...

I'm still hating being virtuous and thrifty. Hating it. I swear, I'm going through impulse shopping withdrawal. I just spent about an hour window shopping on eBay, playing the if money was no object game. I think I mentally spent at least the tax value of this house.

I feel an urge to go splurge on skincare products I know won't do anything near what they promise to do, but that feel so good going on that I'll forgive them the lie. Or maybe some ridiculously overpriced bath products that will leave me smelling like the gals from a whorehouse set up a head shop in a bakery.

I want stockings with backseams and Cuban heels, and I want the shoes to go with them.

I want to drink Gingerbread Lattes until I am sick of them, at which point, I'll start in on the Peppermint Mochas.

I want to dress the girl in outfits that are thoroughly impractical and thoroughly adorable.

With my fingers still all about a half-size larger than they were pre-pregnancy, I want to restock my ring collection.

Also, I would like to pay someone to make me nursingwear that doesn't look like ass.

But I'm being good.

So I'll do none of these things.

Just don't make me promise to like it.
