Impulse Buys

I bought a dolphin globe thing for about $1 b/c I thought my sister would like it (even though I already had a gift for her). Also, candy can sometime be an impulse buy for me.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

LOL, with the sub-minimum wage pay they give me at both my jobs, I can't. Just kidding, but seriously I don't buy huge things on impulse b/c I'm into saving money, but it's the little things that get me since I tell myself, "It's just $1, what can it hurt?" However, if you tell yourself that 100 times, it can easily add up.

However, I guess if you want a higher number on the impulse buy, I can think back to this shirt I bought once b/c my friend thought it looked cute on me, so I agreed and I bought it for $24 without really thinking about whether or not I would truly feel comfortable wearing it (it's "bohemian chique" instead of the normal t-shirts I wear). She said that she would've felt guilty if I had left the mall without buying anything.

I still haven't worn it and it's been about 2 weeks. Also, when I brought it home to try it on a second time--in case that whole "Elaine Store-Mirror" effect was happening--and one of the straps broke. It has been reparied, but it wasn't one of my better purchases.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
