Anyone else also do some creative justification when they spot that special item on clearance although they’ve only got money for gas and pay day is a week and a half away?

My apartment is overrun by books, yet I keep buying more. I have no idea when I will read all the books that I’ve accumulated over the years. I used to buy CD’s on a regular basis but that’s a thing of the past. At this point in my life, books are the only things that I will buy on a very regular basis (I think the fact that I loathe shopping has something to do with that). Now if I could only sit long enough to read most of them…

Envy, content, and sufficient champagne.
Three be the things I shall have till I die:
Laughter and hope and a sock in the eye."

If I didn’t have access to a large university library, books would also make the list.

Well, nowadays I would have to face the possibility of not being able to buy diapers, which would scare anyone into frugality.
Back in my reckless grad school days, though:
Dinner out.
Books.
Fancy bath stuff.

Cheezie poofs!
