No quote today.  I don’t want one.

Instead, I wanted to share this with you.

For my bachelorette/wedding gifts, I got two Victoria’s Secret cards.  Because I’m playing the role of “depressed, slovenly redhead” today, I didn’t want to leave my couch, even when Steph called to herald the return of the cotton panty to VS and the sale today at $3 a pair.  So I hopped online.

And this was on my final tab:

192210 Ultra-Softening Body Butt

Which, you know, I had to share with you.

Also, I got really tickled today at how cheap Bryan and I are.  Bryan and I don’t really splurge on ourselves very often.  Our iPods were a huge deal for either of us to receive.  We have the free phones Cingular gave us.  I color my hair at home, and we both go to MasterCuts to have our heads trimmed.  We grocery shop at Kroger’s because they have that swipe thingie that shows me how much money I saved. 

So when we were given money and gift cards for Christmas, we immediately went over what bills we could pay with it.  Don’t misunderstand; we can pay our bills, but when we had extra money, we immediately thought it should go to bills.  Bryan is currently at Home Depot getting weatherstripping for our house.  I have been browsing Bed, Bath, and Beyond for discounted sheets.  Our gift cards are for life, not for frivolity.

So when he called to check in, we decided: a camera is a splurge.  And we’re both going to get a new pair of tennis shoes.  This is our Christmas splurge.

(But the rest will go to bills.)
