Booty
I think these last few weeks are going to be very dangerous ones as far as my wallet is concerned. We have everything we need and yet I can't stop looking for more things to buy the girl. On Sunday I went to Meijer and put the Fisher Price Jumperoo on layaway and wondered if she would like a Boppy 5-in-1 Fun toy or just the Boppy Tummy Play pillow. I ended up with neither, but that's not to say I won't go back.
In the old days it was all about me. What do I want or what do I need. Sure, I've bought a few new things; a couple of nursing bras here, some lanolin nipple cream there. Let's not forget that I actually bought two books this summer and read them both in record time, even after I vowed to frequent the library rather than the bookstore (we're talking Harry Potter and Jennifer Weiner so I had to buy). The cool thing is that I am so excited about focusing my attention elsewhere that I don't really care if I never get another thing. So is this good or bad?
I've been making my own money since I was thirteen years old, and up until I started living on my own, was able to spend that money however I pleased. I figure I've been spoiling myself rotten for a good 20 years now and can afford to spoil someone else. I may treat myself occasionally to something small, but I have a feeling most of my purchases will be geared towards the girl and things like this.
But I'd like to think even I'm sensible enough not to spend $37 on baby booties.
