I’m still a little upset about yesterday’s issue with my roommate, but I’m hoping that she’ll pay me back quite soon. I didn’t exactly confront her about it, but managed to bring it up twice in conversation last night. I think she gets the picture; plus I sent her a txt with the exact amount she owes me.
Anyhoodle, I’ve been looking for a spring/fall jacket lately, and while there’s not much available yet I did find this:
It’s $119.99 and isn’t on sale, but I did manage to get free shipping. The thing I do like about ordering from Penningtons/AE online is that if I don’t like something, I can easily return it to the store with no extra cost. As long as shipping is free I find that this is more convenient and economical for me.
I really would have loved a beautiful bright red or green jacket for spring, but I don’t want to have to go out and buy a fall jacket later, too. If I get this one in black and it’s suitable then I will use it for both seasons, like I did with my old beige jacket.
Plus I hope that this will be flattering to my figure! I truly do look amazing in black–it just seems to make everything about me look better!
That was sort of some retail therapy for the week… Otherwise I’ve been doing fairly well (sort of) with purchases. I’ve been tracking each purchase every day to see just how I’m spending my money. So far most of it seems to be on eating out :S
One response to “Retail Therapy”
I hate confrontation too. I’m sorry you’re having so many problems with your financially-irresponsible roommate. That really is rough. Be firm though, you deserve the money. You may want to have a talk with her about how you need to depend on her for part of the bills and just inquire whether she thinks she will be able to manage it. Just out of curiosity, do you see her spend money on other things? Do you think she could be cutting back in other areas? If so, she may have her priorities mixed up, and/or she may be fully aware that she is taking advantage of you.
