Over Budget
What the heck was I thinking? I went WAY over my budget this weekend! I was doing so well the past few weeks. And now I've spent so much! Now for the next 5 days I simply CANNOT spend a dime. I shall allow for one trip to Trader Joe's for groceries and thats it! Here is an estimated break down of the damage. Keep in mind this is my spending money budget. Bills, rent, savings are already paid for. whew...
Lula Mae (www.lulamae.com/) - darling boutique in Pasadena where I picked up a few things for my friend who invited me to her service anniversary luncheon on Tuesday at Bucca De Beppo's.
total damage: $18
Nordstrom - It was Friday. It was payday. I've been dying to sniff Narcisco Rodriguez For Her for a while now, so I decided to celebrate the day by stopping by the perfume counter on the way home from work. For some reason some Stila makeup decided to catch a ride home with me. Darn hitch hiking eyeshadows! total damage: $40 or so
Withdrawl - $40 for Friday's lunch at work, and Saturday's debauchery at the Santa Anita race track. Lost a grand total of $6 because I simply don't know how to pick out the horses. Had a margarita in the attempt to cheer myself up for said loss. Cheese bread & blue cheese salad at The Boat for dinner afterwards. The resturant isn't really named The Boat. The outside just looks like one. It is right next to The Snow House Resturant. Which isn't really named The Snow House either, but I digress...
The rest is nothing short of a blur. Online DHC order (I needed the cleasning oil! It was on sale, sheeesh). Checked out the new Kohl's in Alhambra just to see what all the fuss is about (Socks! Fun, cute socks for cheap! And I promise not to lose these this time). Pankcakes at IHOP (it was my turn to buy Saturday morning's breakfast. Think of it as an investment for free food in the near future). A near midnight trip to Walmart for essentials like cat litter, bath sponge, Gas-X (Hey, the closest one is about 20 miles away. A Walmart trip is still considered a novelty in these parts). Petco for kitty treats, Albertson's for bagel sandwiches, and a tiny eBay purchase of Smashbox eyesahdow & blush. My first ever for that brand. And at such a steal too! I couldn't beat Crazy Larry's prices!!!
Ughhhh
It's a sickness I tell ya
