    An ugly Christmas sweater that was Elf themed with sequined embellished sleeves… I kind of regret not buying it actually. Would have been great for Christmas this year

    I was doing really well/was ahead of myself w/ saving etc until.. Monday/Tuesday I think? Money has been slipping through my hands like water over the last few days :( I'm dipping into funds I usually budget/salvage for the fortnight- I still have some food/clothing items I want to buy between now and early next week- I'm going to try and cap it/distract myself afterwards so it doesn't get out of control- when I'm busier/more functional etc I don't feel as tempted to spend on stuff I don't need- but I did some spring cleaning recently and found out I had some unclaimed money/tax refund- I also had disputed some card/acct transactions and was reimbursed last week/didn't expect it- I always feel shaky/insecure about my finances regardless of whether I have enough money coming in. I hold off on buying stuff if I'm not in the right frame/headspace or if I'm time poor- at least keep the receipts/check the exchange/refund policy, check if it's available online/is there a time frame etc

    I love vintage handmade needlework.

    The antiques shop up the street has a mind blowing set of very old napkins, coasters and a table runner. Vintage handmade bobbin and pulled thread lace with mythological creatures worked into each medallion: phoenix. Griffon, Medusa, Pan, Cupid and more.

    The workmanship is museum quality. The price is ridiculously cheap for the quality and artful design.

    What would I do with them? Store them in a drawer to take out and fondle once in a while. But the pleasure of having and preserving them….

    I’ve been thinking about them for over a month now. I can’t justify it because we have a couple of trips coming up….to places that are famed for textiles and handcrafted needlework. 😬

    At the grocery store yesterday on my way to the register to check out, passed the magazine rack where an article caught my eye. Only that one article in the entire magazine, but was curious how much to buy and read it. Fifteen dollars??? For something which would take me 30 seconds to read??? That's like $1800 per hour!

    Note to self: avoid walking down that aisle in the future...

    Girl Scout cookies. Knowing I would pass them while out for my soda, I had 2 rules. It could only be Trefoils and they had to take credit cards.

    They had the Trefoils but it was a good song on my mp3 player so I just kept walking.

    A new pair of jeans. I’ll come back for them in the spring - hopefully in a smaller size. 🤞

    Passed up a new purse yesterday at lunch. Leather. All kinds of compartments and pockets to keep my crap organized. Big enough to throw in more crap, even my tablet, which would come in handy next month when I travel.

    (Then my current purse annoyed me again today, like it has ever since I started using it, so I went back at lunch today and got the new one.)

    Socrates must have been a bundle of joy to hang out with.


    Reminds me of my husband rolling his eyes and huffing over two guys getting bent out of shape over a political discussion at the Kiwanis luncheon today. Sounds very Socratic, since each was determined to prove the other wrong.

    Coffee! I have six or seven boxes of tea and a can of matcha I need to drink before they expire.

    It wasn't something I didn't buy but something I found another home for other than my own.

    A big bag of M&Ms that gets sent to us from a vendor when we order from her.

    Now, if only those Porto's strudels and cookies I ate could have found another home. :)
