I had twenty dollars in a gift card burning a hole in my pocket, but have been saving for something I "need." I have everything I need. I've been a good girl and not splurging on non-necessity stuff lately. Yesterday that all came down in shambles.
I had a reaallllly bad Monday. I won't go into detail, mainly cause it was work related. It was bad. I was bi$%#^. I decided I needed to be good to myself, so I went to Target with my giftcard in hand.
It's amazing how much money you can spend on frivolous stuff when you allow yourself to do it. It started out innocently enough, with some new eyeshadow... I wandered around for a half an hour trying to find $16 more stuff to use the giftcard on...then I started on the crafty stuff (a photo trimmer I've been wanting for MONTHS and an exacto knife)... then fun stationary (funky square paper with bright colored stripes down the sides)... Valentine's socks... a bar of Ghiradelli (because good chocolate, like love, makes everything better...)... a copy of the new mag "Everyday" (with Rachael Ray! Oh thank heavens for the "garbage bowl"...)... organizer trays for my drawer at work (cause I'm sick of digging for my tape!)... no-budge headbands for working out...
I spent $40. Total. I spent $20 of my money, $20 gift card.
The beast is now appeased with lots of things to keep her happy in the next few months of gray days. Now excuse me while I go work in my fun socks for the rest of the day.

Glad you feel better. And I don't care how many people make fun of Rachael Ray, the garbage bowl concept, which I honestly had never thought of before, is an awesome idea.
