Okay - snafu is hit on the Road to the Budget.
I am suddenly and overwhelmingly hit with the longing to swing by my favorite used CD store when I leave work.
Or Best Buy.
Or even Joseph Beth Books.
Or Comics Interlude.
All of these places are currently on my Danger Zone list and really - I should not ever go to these places as I can often shop and go into stores and *not* spend money but I have never been in any of these stores (except for Best Buy, the rat bastards) and not spent money. Never. Not even when I had something specific I was looking and they did not have that thing necessitating a trip to another store, I still end up buying somethng completely different just because I see it and it is there and I want it.
And I am being sooooo good with the budget. And I need to continue being good as I have the capacity to be soooo bad. And I know that *not* going to these stores is just a temporary thing, let me get a handle on what I *need* versus what I *want* and then I can budget for what I *want*
But damn I want to curl up on my sofa tonight with hot chocolate and watch Carnivale. I really, really want to do this. Or read the last 2 issues of Nightwing. Or something. Joseph Beth also has really good chocolate...
Ack! I hate my late nights at work!
