Another person on my team told us a story of a former co-worker of his who did the same. This woman would go on what she called the "Austerity Program" and would not shop for 2 months. But then once she was off the "austerity program," whoooeeee, it was a shopping spree!
I thought that was a clever name, so I'm adopting it.
Austerity Program has been implemented!
Now that I'm "on hold," I'm just in a "browsing" mode. I've decided I need to do more research, planning, and careful decision making when I do allow myself to shop again. What do I really need or want? How do things fit into my life? (Really, actually, I need to focus my attention and effort on other things. Like my career. Blehhh.)
(ADD kicks in.) Ohhh, I want this:
My A.P. really should include food. I sooo enjoy going out to eat, and that really does eat up a lot of $$ as well (Hehe, get it? "Eat" up? Hehe!).
Good thing good food doesn't have to cost a lot. Last night, I went out for some delicious ramen with my friend/colleague Ji and her boyfriend Justin. It's a place where REAL JAPANESE PEOPLE go eat ramen, so you know it's good! And it's pumping me up for my trip to Asia.
And yes, I know, we're so typical Asians - All our names start with the letter J! Haha!
After we finished our food, we sat around and repeatedly said to each other, "I'm soooo full... I'm sooo tired..."
Great way to end the week!
