I should just ignore me

So after my declaration about not spending, I just ordered 3 swimsuits. My Saturday suit is a Lands End that I bought when I first started swimming (so 5ish years ago?). For some reason I stopped wearing it and only recently re-found it and put it back into service. I like a lot about it and am tired of my others which are falling apart anyway. So I decided to see if I could find ones like my Saturday suit. Lands End, of course, no longer carries it but they do have others.

I ordered 3 because I am more likely to return 2 than 1. And I definitely do not intended to keep all 3. Lands End is a liberal return policy and there used to be a small but OHHH so handy Sears store down the street. Now the closest one is not quite as handy but still, to get my money back on 2 suits, I'll make the day trip.

I think Zoey needs a pet. She's spending more and more time knocking shit off of whatever and whining and crawling all over me constantly. I think she needs more of a distraction than a red dot or spinning whatever. But, I'm not convinced I want another pet.

The breakfast place I planned for today was one that, turns out, I had been to before long ago. Today it was packed to the gills and, instead of turning around and leaving, I decided to try it anyway. They did have coffee while you wait. And a comfortable place to sit. The wait was about 15 minutes then they stuck me at the bar. I don't really mind sitting at the bar. I do very much mind bar stools without a place to put my feet so that the circulation in the thighs does not dry completely up. It was 10 minutes until anyone took my order and another 15 before I saw it. I was trying to be chill and not succeeding entirely.

Except then, turns out, my breakfast was exceedingly delicious. This would have made up for it entirely except then, of course, it was like pulling teeth to fucking pay! GRRR Once I got out of there, I did walk the long way round to my car. I should have walked longer but maybe I'll go out later.

Oh and my swim was excellent.

Eh, I don't think this quite breaks your spending rule. The swimsuits aren't some frivolous, useless thing, you actually will be using them a lot. :P

What did you order for breakfast?

[susandennis]

Thank you for making me feel less ridiculous!!

They called it a breakfast taco but it was really two burritos of egg and sausage with exceedingly crispy has browns. Nothing really spectacular, just really well done and oh so tasty!

[slinkslowdown.livejournal.com]

I'd have to get that without the egg, but it sounds good!

I'm also trying to save some money... Even downloaded special app for counting my expenses... So, we'll see... Now I still spend a lot on clothes, food and entertaining, and think where I could try to economize.

[susandennis]

It is SOOOO not easy. I no longer live paycheck to paycheck but I remember well when I did. I remember having no money and being consumed by the stuff I wanted that cost money. It's tough. Really tough.

The app download is a great idea. I track on a spreadsheet. The tracking is key.

I hate when everything else is fine and then it takes forever to get a bill paid. I feel like that's becoming more common, too.

I've gotten much better at returning things that I bought online. Amazon makes it really easy for you. I just pack it back up and toss it in the nearest UPS drop box, which is just across the street.

[susandennis]

Amazon is totally not a return problem. That's actually why I buy from them nearly exclusively. But, their selection of fat girl competitive swimsuits is kind of slim :)

The only ones easier than Amazon is Zappos which, of course, is owned by Amazon!

I do always always always check the return policy before I order anything from anywhere.

Is Zoey a cat? We have three cats and my cat does that ALL the time so I don't know if it would help to have another one..

[susandennis]

Yep... she's a cat. Guess if you have 3, maybe my solution of getting her a playmate isn't a solid as I thought... which is good cause I really like having only one.
