Must… Stop… Self… Have…Self…Control.
This month has been a killer.
I moved into a new apartment (Security deposit, first month rent)
I get all domesticated guy stuff (Kitchenaid mixer, DVD holders, entertainment center, popcorn popper)
I get food (Root Beer, Tortillas and yogurt)
I get bills (Electricity, Phone, DSL, Cell, Insurance)
I go on a trip for work (Gas, food, hotel)
[Edit]Jul 8 2005:
Oh, I also paid tithing. Don’t want ya’ll to think I don’t have priorities
[/Edit]
My poor little bank account is looking small and pitiful.
Guess what.
I’m thinking of buying another pinball machine.
I DON’T even have anywhere to PUT IT!
Someone, STOP ME NOW, PLEASE.
An intervention. I need an intervention!
Or at the least, please, do you have some Storage space?
If you are wondering, it’s an “Attack From Mars” (Internet Pinball Database seems to be down or else I’d give you a link & photo)
Must be strong…
Intervention? Why it simply sounds to me like you’re surrounding yourself with the bare necessities of life! Who can fuction without a kitchenaid mixer? It would simply be barbaric!
Hey there… so I happened across your blog via the moorefamily blog (I was Leigh’s college roommate for 3 yrs) to look at marshmallow gun pictures (I am so fired if corporate security is monitoring what I do all day). At any rate… read some of your entries- love them. Must first thank you for subscribing to DSL- not sure where you live or who you buy it from but I’m so happy you’re not with those cable pigs- had to rant.
LOVE the links to the girl blogs- I laughed!!!! Did I mention that I’ll be sooo fired but I think it might be worth it. Thanks for that as well.
I thought I’d reciprocate by giving you some frugal links:
* surely you know about http://www.woot.com ? Only one item a day and the true geek stuff is usually sold out a few minutes after midnight.
* http://www.restaurant.com By $25 gift certificates for $10. Print them out & enjoy.
* BUT you can go to http://www.naughtycodes.com and get a discount code for 40-60% off. $25 for $4 is not a bad deal.
Thanks & enjoy!
You have enough pins already. Don’t need more. Think of how you lost w, and use that in controlling this addiction. Remember what gives you your high. You can do it.
A Kitchenaid? I usually don’t do this over the internet, but would you marry me, Chris? And if you think I’m marrying you for your mixer, well, you’re right. But I’d make you happy, I swear. You’d never know you were being used. I can take the Wyoming Bar.
Where I come from it is perfectly acceptable to propose and then marry someone solely for their kitchen appliances. Then again, where I come from has a lot of straight women married to gay men.
Wow.
Wow.
I blog about losing money, and I get proposed to via the comments
Bless the Internet!
Laura: I’ve read your blog before, you’ve been added as a blog rolling link 😉 I’ve got a secret addiction, it’s over Kitchen appliances. I just don’t let anyone know about it. Oh, and where exactly do you come from? People being used for their appliances? Straight women married to gay men? Doesn’t that make for some problems?
Sharon: Thanks for the compliments. Sorry you had to room with Leigh (SHENANIGANS! The Spurs Won Via SHENANIGANS!). I think I’ll add those frugal links as well. I know about Woot, I just don’t wake up fast enough for woot that I want, plus, I have a lot of woot stuff sitting around then.
Woot.
I also know about thinkgeek, and “Joss Whendon is my master now” Which I believe I shall be getting.

Kelly: If you can make Chocolate Chip Cookie dough (No cookies, just the dough) or frosting (for frosting & graham cracker cookies) well, take me now or loose me forever.
