Traveling Thoughts

So, I’m not supposed to be spending money, but I have a spending problem, a really bad spending problem…to the point that if I can’t go spend money I get all depressed kind of spending problem. I’ve done well this week though, I haven’t spent money, unless you count 2 days of lunch ($10) because I was too lazy to go grocery shopping for the week (and spend $100 so really I saved a lot of money this week). That is, I saved a lot of money (I didn’t even go get a dvd this Tuesday, Transformers is out waiting for me but did I go get it, NO! I’m resisting…)

But then, I had to go to REI, because it’s a necessity, but Jules caught me on it:

Me: 1 hour till i can go to REI
Jules: yeah! LOL I thought you were going to stop spending
Me: i was
Me: LOL
Me: but i really need a pair of cycling shorts
Me: it’s a necessity
Jules: uh huh
Me: i have a ride this weekend
Me: i need shorts
Me: cause i have like pants
Me: capris i guess
Me: but i need shorts
Me: i can’t ride in pants in 86 degree weather
Me: right?

But I had to get these riding shorts, they were only $70 and they’re a good brand. They’re Pearl iZumi shorts. Short Attack Shorts.

But I have to confess, while I was there I also got another water bottle and a seat cover…so in total, I spent $95.12. Which is really what I saved this week by not buying groceries, so I’m all good…
