"The Time Has Come..."

Is it a coincidence that the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is running the very same week as MY birthday? I think not... It's all part of their master plan you see. I'm trying to save my hard-earned money so that I can quit my job and do something fabulous with my life, and Nordstrom...with whom I have a love/hate relationship....is seducing me into buying three pairs of boots that I don't need.

Need has never really been an issue for me though. I always seem to skip right past that and go straight to WANT. I apparently need food in my fridge and gas in my car...yet I seem to think I can live without those things. Who needs food when you could have those tan wedge-heeled button-up boots? I can surely live off of ramen noodles and lean cuisines if my feet are happy right? They say "pain for beauty" but I think it's more like "hunger for shopping." The gas in the car thing is a litte more difficult though because I guarentee you these boots aren't comfortable and I will not be walking anywhere. There is something seriously wrong with me and working in this industry has only made it worse.

My plan, of course, is to find a NEW job. I don't know where or what or with whom...but this will be happening soon. Or as soon as I can get off my lazy behind and do some real searching. I'm lacking a little follow-through at the moment but I'm getting there. I think those boots just might be my motivation...or my downfall.
