A Baptism and A Challenge

I have been in such a funk all day today, which is really sad considering I was baptized today. I think they forgot I bless the water before I was dunked because I came out full of demons. I had no patience at all day which doesn't bode well when eating out with two little girls and then shopping for an indecisive husband with no fashion sense. (Don't tell him I said that.) He was on edge too...even after being baptized with me! I'm telling you, something was in the water. But the combo of both of us PMSing was not a pretty one. We would try to be sweet to each other and then I would "accidentally" steer him into a pole as we walked down the sidewalk. Oh well. That was my biggest laugh of the day.

I think my terrible attitude was in part because I "had" to return a pair of beautiful Prada sunglasses that I bought yesterday. True, they were completely unnecessary but also completely GORGEOUS. So much so that hubby noticed them as soon as I put them on. He never notices when I get something new. And when he finally does I act like I've had it for years. Like I would wear something from 2 years ago! Obviously, he was not very happy when he found out I paid $200 for a pair of sunglasses when I already have 2 pair that cost about that much. That was a lie anyway. The glasses were $300. So I had to take them back to keep the peace. He probably wouldn't have been so annoyed if I didn't have such a shopping problem and an insane amount of credit card debt. Mostly all of it from fashionable investments. I can't help myself. If I have money in my pocket, I want to spend it. And then some. Am I the only one who understands the need for 2 pairs of Ray Ban sunglasses, 3 Dooney and Burke purses (small, medium and large I course), and 3 pairs of black heels in varying heel heights?

I realize I really do have a slight problem so in an attempt to make myself (but mostly hubs) happy, I'm giving myself a 30 day challenge where I only spend money on my monthly payments (car, debt, cell phone, etc.), gas, and I've allotted $150 for groceries. This will really be a challenge. In fact I'm already feeling deprived. I can't go to Wal-Mart for apples without coming home with apples AND 3 tubes of lipstick, all in varying berry shades. I'm really digging pinks and purples right now. Now I'm wondering, with this challenge I have going, does this mean I need to cancel my eyelash extension fill that is scheduled for Tuesday? I know it's absolutely frivolous, but since I already had it planned for the month, can I just lump it in with my car payment? While I ponder on that, I'm going to get back to the Grammys and continue to formulate my plan of becoming a tambourine player in some indy-folk band. I mean, who can't play a tambourine?!

Oh, and my dear Prada sunnies...You are safe in my heart and my heart will go on and ooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnn.
