Everybody seems to love pretending to buy gifts from the lists but do people actually shop from them? I doubt it so I'm going to start the annual "Shit I Bought Myself" post holiday roundup and then you can be just like me if you want. I'm treading on dangerous territory here because I told most of my friends I wanted to keep Christmas small because I'm broke but now I'm showing them WHY I'm broke. Hey - priorities. It's all about ME this year remember?? It's also the end of January and I'm still shopping for me so this post is still completely relevant.
First off, I'm functionally retarded when it comes to gadgets but I bought a Roku at the advice of a saucy friend and love it! I feel so fancy. Please don't mention Google tv if you think it's better because it'll embarrass Santa.

| You know you want it too. |
Oh and I'm buying myself some of these:
But since I spent all my money on the fun things above there are a few things that ended up being out of my price range. Wah wah waaaah... Like these little guys:

And I'll have to pass on this scarf.

I also technically can't afford this:
I can't believe the price on that scarf?
ReplyDeleteOh hey! I can help you get the lovely oak cabinets with "to die for" cathedral arches?? Where do i ship?? Just ripped out of house yeaterday! In fact, we tries to save the wallpaper as well so maybe you want the scraps? Just let me know:)!
ReplyDeleteOak should be outlawed unless rifted or qtr sawn. And the only cathedral i want to see was in Cologne. Not really sure needed to see that one. No beer served. Hell not even wine? And you know those catholics love their wine.
Tonia - uh yeah, me neither!
ReplyDeleteDetails and Design - I'm definitely on a budget so please send whatever scraps you have! I'll just combine your charity with whatever I find at the Habitat ReStore to make it look really unique. Please address to Madame Sunday - Chattavegas, TN and they'll know where to find me.
I scanned your comment fast and thought you wrote "cathoholics" - heehee.
Wait a minute... Am I the Habitat ReStore?
ReplyDeleteOh oak cathedral cabinets, how I loathe thee.
Nick - You're like the Habitat ReStore on crack! But in a good way. ; )
ReplyDeleteThe cost of the scarf does seem hefty! Though it is a cool scarf, and it's unisex too (according to the information at the original website). I'm guessing it's got 50 bucks in materials (considering the exotic fabrics they're made of).
ReplyDeleteI think I may try to make one…
WHAT!?!…
Izzy - WHAT!?!?! I assume you mean make one for both you and me so we can have matching ones. I'll pay you $12.37 or a couple pints of ice cream - whichever comes out cheaper.
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for actually clicking through to the source! I get lazy about my sourcing because no one ever follows it so I'll be better and more thorough with it in the future. Pinkie swear.
Actually it was that awkward "what", in response to the (slightly) too long silence following publicly revealing something that's normal (TOTALLY normal), but generally unexpected about oneself. In practice it didn't work as well as in my mind; sometimes the voices trick me into hitting the post button before an idea is fully baked.
ReplyDeleteI'm changing the "WHAT" into me being incredulous about your "source researching laziness."
Madness has it's benefits.
Anyway…
Izzy - Honey, I gotcha. My "WHAT" was actually the really fast mirror response to your "WHAT" to ease the tension you may have felt after your (implied) too long silence after your COMPLETELY TOTALLY normal and badassical revelation about yourself.
ReplyDeleteI won't tell anyone about the voices if you won't judge me about my laziness, deal?! Deal.
