Running Errands...

I learned something very important about myself today.  I should never be allowed into a store alone.  Because when such an event happens, I inevitably end up spending more money than I had set out to.  Take today for instance.  I left the house knowing that I had to pick up two prescriptions at two different stores.  I left home with these plans, knowing exactly where I would go first and what I was going to look for.  Then I walked inside store #1.  And later walked out with 1 prescription, chapstick, hairspray and some new lotion for my face.  Do I really need any of these things right now?  Maybe, if I talk to myself long enough about it.  

On to store #2!  I was DETERMINED to just walk in, go to the pharmacy, and walk out.  But I got inside and remembered that the zipper on my winter coat broke.  And so of course, I went off in search of a new coat.  And didn't LEAVE until I found a suitable coat, mind you.  Sigh...one day I'll be focused long enough to just buy what I set out to get.  Until that day...anyone need chapstick?
