It seems like around this time of year I do a bit more shopping than usual.
It usually starts around mid August and last till the 16th of September. That date is my birthday and I have a way of justifying numerous purchases by stating “it’s for my birthday!”
Please tell me I’m not the only one who does this?
It started with this purchase back in August.
I already had a smart phone but honestly it didn’t seem very smart because there was very little that I could do with it. After three years of living with the old dog, I broke down and got an iPhone. Wow, so this what owning a (real) smart phone is like! I am lovin’ it!!! (after I learned how to use a touch screen. Literally took me 15 minutes to type out my first 6 word text message!)
HOWEVER, my teenage daughter mentioned to me that I should be careful when texting or emailing someone because it likes to GUESS at what word you want to use and changes it. I went back through some of my messages and oh boy….. did it ever! I apologize if you were one of the recipients of those early messages.
Also, the delete button and the reply button are right next to each other. I did accidently erase a couple of messages/conversations when in fact I wanted to reply. Again, I am so sorry if you asked me a question or we were talking right along and I never got back to you. I guess in some cases you do need to be smarter than your phone.
Have you ever hear of “Blacklion”?
I’m not sure if it’s a local thing, but it’s a huge store (think like super Wal-Mart huge) that is full of home décor, accessories, and furniture! Even walking through quickly took about 2 hours!
Isle after isle of beautiful eye candy!
What I brought home….
and some incredibly soft creamy white fabric! (not photographed)
Miss Becca from Adventures in Decorating “PINNED” a photo on Pinterest that caught my eye….. Pottery Barn Mercury Glass Pumpkins! I really wanted these. A whole pumpkin patch of them, please.
I thought I would humor myself and hop over to the PB website. There they were with FREE shipping! Uhhh, the agony. I wanted them but still couldn’t bring myself to checkout. Until….. an email popped up from PB with a 10% off code! SOLD
I sure there are more splurges that have been made and will be made, but there really is no reason to completely rat myself out! lol.
