I Want Too Much
I just spent entirely TOO much money.
I've been doing that a lot lately. But in my own defense, it was less in a American money...
?
I bought a cowboy hat, because I have to go to that stupid hoedown next week, and if I'm gonna do it, I'm gonna do it right! Dammit! I looked at cowboy boots, but the only reasonably priced pair I saw were only available in my size in TEAL. And you just don't wear teal cowboy boots. I'm trying again tomorrow afternoon. I also bought a red bandana which I will tie around my neck and I found a brown belt that I'm going to buy (because I actually need a brown belt) and I'm also going to buy a HUGE bling-y belt buckle with the letter K on it. For obvious reasons. I'm going to wear that with jeans, my brown-striped white shirt (tucked in) and my tan cord jacket.
This is a contest, people. And I'm gonna win it.
No, well, I probably won't. But I'm gonna try! It's only fair that the ONE American in the room (with a jeep named "Cowboy." HELLO!) goes ALL OUT for this event. There's just no such thing as a Canadian cowboy. I'm sorry, but there isn't. You don't ride horses across the tundra in parkas!
No, that's what huskies and dogsleds are for!
Getting back to the things I spent my money on today:
A flashlight and an alarm clock -- both justifiable purchases if you ask me. A little cordless optical mouse that changes colors and a big, bad game of crazy Tetris (not quite so easy to rationalize...) for Cobalt, my new laptop (also a bit of a spuratic buy, but in my opinion, TOTALLY worth it.).
And then there's the $40 I spent at the kiosk in the middle of the mall. This girl called me over in that way that you WANT to escape getting drawn in but you just can't do it politely, like when they are doing the "drawing" for the free home security system, so you sign up cause you feel bad, and then everybody wins one.
Yeah, just like that.
But she did this crazy buffy thing on one of my nails (the middle one of my left hand actually. I'm looking at it right now.), and did all the cuticle oil and lotion and everything, and it's INCREDIBLE! It's shinier than if I had used clear nail polish. I wish everyone could see it!
I'm such a sucker.
She knew that was gonna be an easy sell.
She did one nail, and started to go for another one and I just said "Um... OK."
I've GOT to work up some tolerance.
OK well, I'm going to go eat some dinner, AKA Subway. As usual.
Then I'm going to do my nails, play some Tetris on my laptop with my optical mouse, set my alarm clock and go to bed. :)
Wearing my cowboy hat.
Had to work that in somehow.
