The Life of Bon: The end of the no spend

The end of the no spend

Well, folks.  I guess this is the end of "No Spend April".  In my defense, it lasted all the way until April 19!

It was Target's fault naturally.  Isn't everything?

It all ended when I saw these little beauties.




I know what you're thinking.  If I'm on a no spend April what am I doing in Target anyway?  This part I blame on Hubs and all my friends and sister and mom who were all busy on Friday night.  You see, somewhere along the road I got it ingrained in my soul that it is a sin to stay home on a Friday night.  Hubs had rehearsal, my girlfriends were busy, my sister had a date, and my mom was on babysitting duty.  But I couldn't stay home alone!  I must go out!

So I went shopping.  Alone.

But I wasn't going to buy anything!  Truly I wasn't!  I just had to return a shirt to Target and with the money back I was going to buy some cheap o socks that I'm in desparate need of.  Well, we all know what is right next to the sock department, don't we?

The shoe department.

And that's how it happened- quickly and painfully- the way most bad decisions happen.  I'm kicking myself for spending when I promised myself I wouldn't.  The very bossy Bonnie keeps telling me to take them back, but the nicer Bonnie tells myself I haven't spent anything this month and I got them on sale for $25 plus the $8 back from my return... they were really only $17.  Ain't no harm in spending $17, is there?

In other news, I am beginning to fear I am a shopaholic.  Blogging sure isn't helping anything.

FOR YOUR WEEKEND
+Speaking of Target, Target gave me this revelation that I'm turning into my mom.
+ And once got in a fight with a Target employee about the dressing room policy.
+ I know I quit my job and everything, but now other teachers are fighting for my classroom and it makes me want to hunker down and never leave.
+ I stole my "News" post this week from a "Today" post that I wrote a year ago.  Tricky, tricky.
+ Have you entered this giveaway yet?

  1. I say you apply a little grace and consider it a new day in no-spend-April. Because seriously, it would have take a man of steel to resist those shoes!
