…Father for I have sinned…it has been 2? weeks since my last confessio –

– Wait. Hold the phone. I’m not Catholic.  But maybe I should be. Maybe I need a little bit of that ever famous Catholic guilt.  Ok, so here’s the run down. I can’t stop spending money that I don’t have. Sigh…

It is subsequently caused by actions I did LAST year. When I moved to my apartment and then later moved to Dan’s, I dumped a lot of clothes. Pretty much all of my summer clothes. They had been worn for a couple or few years, were worn out, or just plain out of style or no longer fit and needed to head to Goodwill. So over the last month, I’ve done some summer clothes shopping.

No big deal, right? So a couple of weeks ago, I swore up and down that I would spend NO MORE for two months. NONE. But then I had to get white shoes for clinicals….which led to the pair of sandles (both bought at Kohls)…as well as the needed pair of shorter khakis (most of mine have to be worn with heels…and I can’t wear heels during clinicals). THEN, our engagement pics are next week….oh, not to mention that Dan got tickets to the symphony this week.  Which led to seeing these short sleeve hoodies on sale online that I had been looking for EVERYWHERE in stores while shopping lately that I had to get in black and white.

I’ve really only spent a few hundred. But that’s a few hundred too much.  :p I really have enough clothes. I do. SO WHY DO I KEEP SPENDING?? Sigh….

I need someone to be accountable to or something.  I’m so….disappointed in myself! No spending for the rest of the summer. Seriously. I have no reason to spend another dime on clothes this summer. NONE. I have the pants/capris/shorts from last year that still fit. I have a couple of sundresses.  I have plenty of tanks. PLENTY. I have a few polos. A few casual skirts. I’m set.

NO more, Mel.  I’ve already told Dan NO MORE for me. The only things I’m allowed? The essentials. I.E.

• Underwear (actually…I’ve bought enough for awhile in that department)
• Socks (I have tossed a bunch in the last few weeks…the ones that don’t look clean anymore, have no partners, etc)
• White tanks (these are essential to me — I wear them under EVERYTHING and our water SUCKS even with bleach so they discolor quickly :p YOU SUCK KALAMAZOO WATER).

The only other thing I can buy?? WEDDING STUFF. I.E. My bra/slip for the dress and my shoes.  Seriously. Nothing more for day to day things.
