All signs point to shopping

It is SOOoooO hard to not shop.

• I’ve been feeding the guppies every morning and man can they chow down! I only give them a miserable pittance because I don’t want to dirty up the water, plus I noticed that they don’t have much food left. Must ration! And, must SHOP!! I love shopping for our fishies and aquariums. It fills me with a selfless sense of purpose. In other words, I feel less gimme-gimme, while still getting that satisfying feeling of acquiring.
• Obama’s inauguration means I need to buy the commemorative Metro cards and newspaper. More SHOPPING!
• There are swimsuit sales everywhere! Who cares if it’s 20 degrees, I can’t swim, and I don’t have any vacation planned in the foreseeable future! SHOP!!
• I need cough drops! Oooh look, Cheez-it’s are on sale! GIMME!!
• The vacuum is gimpy. As if I didn’t dislike (despise) vacuuming enough, doing it with a gimpy vacuum is ridiculous. I am literally dragging it around. Must buy an awesome vacuum cleaner! Maybe it’ll make me not dislike it so much for a few weeks.
