I’ve done really good for a year or so.  No rash yarn purchases.  Nothing that I look back on and say “what was I thinking buying that”???? 

But this.  Gawd.  Is not resistable.  This.  Is fate. 

I just bought a bathing suit online.  You know how depressing that can be.   Well maybe you don’t, but trust me – it is for me.    After wiping the tears from my eyes, calming my sobs I went blog hopping.  Stumbled across someone (was it lisa?) who just pulled in a haul from WEBS.  

Off I went to ‘pretend shop’ at WEBS.  I pretend shop a lot. 

But then I saw the Cascade 220 for $4.89.  And the Silk Garden for $5.79.  And the Valley Yarns Sugar Loaf for $2.99.  And oh no….the CashSilk for $4.79.

And it was over.  I mean, it was fate.  I was sitting here credit card in hand.  Depressed from a recent purchase.  A higher power was speaking to me.

The yarn fairy whispering in my ear. 

Just do it.  You deserve it.  Its been sooo long.  

So I do some math.  If I give up the bathing suit coverup – thats $30.   If I don’t take the Wendy’s salad to work every night for my lunch – thats $30.    Let go of the new summer sandal urge, wear last years dingy sad flops – thats $30ish. 

Look at that.  I came up with almost a hundred bucks.    Now to just come up with the second hundred…that I already spent…. and all is good.

Right?

Worth it.  Totally worth it.

ps…WordPress doing something funky…..won’t let me add linkage.   You know the site…but just in case.

Sigh.  I’m actually giddy.  What is it about yarn purchases that just makes me happy?
