It’s been a while since I posted because after my last post about trying not to spend money, I had a pretty large fail. No cable means no cable box in the living room, which means no clock in there. I decided to look for a wall clock. 5 stores later, I was frustrated at not being able to find a clock I liked enough that I wanted it hanging on my wall where I would look at it all the time.
I said to myself, “Self, maybe you should just buy a watch. Then you’ll know the time no matter what room you’re in!” Instead of being sensible about it and going to Target to look for a watch, I went to Zales and ended up with this…
It has a mother-of-pearl face and diamonds for the numbers. The picture doesn’t do it justice. It’s a really beautiful watch. I know it was impulsive and unnecessary but I can’t bring myself to regret it. I reallly love it. I’ve been wanting a nice watch for a while now and this one was 40% off. Sailor Boy said since he’s not going to be here for xmas, that it would be my gift from him. What a swell guy!
I totally need an “Unfrugal Shit” category.
Oh, and I forgot to mention that I got the Cox bill yesterday and it was $91. A very refreshing change after it being $181 for so long. I totally did a happy dance and kissed the bill. Seriously
There ya go. Frugal shit.
Beautiful watch, great deal! Sometimes it’s best to spoil every now and then.
For my “alone” Christmas this year, I already said “screw the budget” and Husband agreed. I’m going to end up getting an e-reader.
Ah, sometimes a splurge is in order. I splurge on camera stuff, you know.
