Forgive Me
AMEX, for I have sinned. It has been 90 minutes since my last purchase.
Today was a big day for donating. I packed up a bag of clothing and a large box of books, and I headed over to Goodwill. After donating, I decided to peek in the store for recyclable sweaters/yarn. In spite of the fact that the retail world is firmly planted in Fall Fashion, it is bloody hot out, and fondling sweaters was making me hotter. This little cutie cooled me right off.
I know that I am supposed to be sewing, and not buying skirts, but the sewing machine went back. I was operating on two lines of logic: 1) I am broke at the moment, 2) the machine sat for 3 weeks in my trunk and for another week (plus) in the computer room. If I am broke and providing only temporary housing for the sewing machine, why keep it? I can always buy another one later -- when there is appropriate space for it.
Even if I had kept the machine and sewed a few summer skirts, there is no way that I could create this
for less than $18.00. Sewing is like knitting, it is not about saving money. It is about making something. And sometimes, it is easier to buy than to make. Which really answers my question about dinner tonight.
