Maybe I can pin this on Greg. He keeps talking about new clothes and stuff and it's making me go, "Awwwwwwwww, I want new clothes too!" But it doesn't stop there, mostly because I won't allow myself to go shopping in this condition (heaven forbid I come home with a full new outfit). I browsed around online at stuff, gradually scaling down to the "sale" category items. That was when things took a whole new turn. Apartment goods.
With the possibility of an impending move lurking in my head, I can't help but a) take inventory of what I have and b) figure out what I need to get while c) discovering many things I don't need, could use but can't afford. Ah, the most depressing category. But at least with these there's no real danger of me buying them.
Alas, then I begin to plot out cheap items that I need (good Dana) in addition to things that are of no real consequence but don't cost much either (back on track, cowgirl!). This category is why IKEA is so damn dangerous. If you don't go in there with a list on a search and destroy mission, you are coming out with a set of Fler candles and holders ($4.99) or the Slatthult wall decals ($15.99), nay, or both!
But this sets me on maybe the most dangerous track of all: trying to make my apartment look cool without having to pay too much. Which will inevitably end up costing more than I expect and taking up large tracts of time as I sew pillows out of some damn Swedish fabric inexplicably named Belinda, affordably priced at $3.99 a yard.
I better just buy those fucking $10 shoes and get it over with.
