I have been lusting after this red winter coat all season. Everytime we go to the mall, I try the coat on, knowing due to the fit, I could only wear it with a few outfits and spying the price tag, I truly couldn't justify buying it. Hubby came home on Friday and announced he had visited the mall and my coat was on sale...80% off. I still hesitated. I've been so good at obeying the sign on my door to Not Spend Money! I have three vacations planned for this summer and fall and really need to save the money. I finally caved and agreed to go look at the coat to see if it had pulled threads or missing buttons to justify the reduction in price. Of course upon inspecting the coat and trying it on again, I was convinced I had to buy it. While standing at the register, hubby whipped out the credit card and paid for the coat. He said I had been so good about not spending money and had paid off my car this month, so it was his treat. For those who know how stingy hubby is with money, you know what a big deal it is that he bought me the coat for no reason except to be nice.

by the way...how's the writing going. I've started working on mine. I actually started reading what I wrote in that contest and was pleasantly surprised. I even had a laugh out loud moment, which could be good and could be bad. Good, because that part made me laugh...bad because I now have to come up with more of those scenes and obviously that was written without much thinking.
Love it!
