I should really pay more attention to Boromir.

On my way home from dropping Morgan off this morning, I popped into Wal Mart to get a pair of driving gloves (as mine have been eaten or something). Well, the gloves are right next to the wallets, and the one I'm using currently is rather fat, even when it's empty, and for a while now I've been wanting one that's skinny enough I could actually carry it in a pocket, instead of a purse. Speaking of purses, those are right next to the wallets and gloves, too. And I find one that's a nice size in between my little zebra handbag that only carries my wallet and cell phone, and my larger Audrey Hepburn bag in which I could fit a full 8 1/2 x 11" notebook. And it's only five bucks. Heck, why not?

On my way to the registers, I remember that I had wanted to get two more skeins of yarn so I could finish my latest Handmade Hugs blanket, so I head over to crafts, and between Accessories and Crafts I find this very nice dark charcoal grey woolen skirt.....

Yeah.

I actually at one point had _two_ skirts in my basket, though, and my willpower made me put back one. It's a small victory, but it counts.

But... but the skirt is pretty!

I'm awestruck at your willpower.

I, for my part, am desperately trying to resist calling Barbara's Books (ask Alan about that place) to get her to put aside not 5, not 6, but 8 (count 'em people, *8*) books from her latest catalogue for me.

*Must* reduce reading pile first.

Oh, and that tiny little matter of assignments, of course.

Hugs and amused blessings

It's perhaps indicative of how I usually come out of there, that I looked at the $54 on my receipt and thought, "That's not so bad, at all."

Of course, all would have been lost if I'd bought Morgan anything. Thankfully what they're selling now is spring clothes, though, which I think is ridiculous, so I wasn't tempted. Weird they're so far ahead for kids' clothes (when they grow so fast, anyway), and not for grown-ups.
