If you didn't know already, I'm moving. This week is the big transition and so I've got a million and one things on my list. I've been having a little bit of hard time getting some things on the list accomplished such as getting an oil change and finding a new desk (A new desk! Hear that? I'm going to have an office! A Place to work other than the couch!).
All of this running around and list making is driving me bonkers and leading me to very irrational behavior. For instance, this morning I was driving around town trying to get said oil changed when I drove by a Costco Home store. I thought perhaps they'd have the desk for me. So, I went in, paid $50 for a membership and spent 5 minutes walking around the store realizing that they had absolutely nothing for me.
Because I had shelled out this unbudgeted money for something I really didn't need, I decided to go next door and save myself some more money. This is the point in the story where I wish someone had knocked a little sense into my very full brain.
Here's a list of all the unnecessary things I bought in extreme quantities:
- 1 gallon of baby dill pickles
- massive rolls of Saran wrap
- 60 Swiffer refills
- 200 garbage bags
- 5 gallons of white vinegar
- 1 case of soymilk
- 8 cans of refried beans
- 8 cans of stewed tomatoes
- giant salt and pepper mills
- 12 oz. Tobasco sauce
- jumbo box of cereal
- 20 pounds of basmati rice
