I almost have enough for my Ipod

I've been coveting a Ipod Touch for a while now. They come in 3 sizes, an 8gig, 32 gig and 64 gig models. I want the one right in the middle. It's 32 gigs and $280 with the accessories that I want, I'll end up spending $295 which includes free shipping.

I've been saving my money and slowing adding it to my fund. Right now I have $180 saved with another $15 to go in the account leaving me $100 short. I'm so close but so far. I wanted to get the ipod for myself for Christmas but I won't have the money until the middle of January. I'll be like a kid in a candy store when I finally get it. Once I have the ipod paid off, then I'll start saving in my itunes account.

I can't wait!

I want to do some Christmas shopping for myself

I don't need anything but there are a few things that I want. I saw these neat long socks that are cute, they fit almost any outfit and they'll keep my legs warm when I wear my crop pants and boots. They're about $6 for 2 pair which isn't bad. I also want a few pair of regular trouser socks for work. I can pick those up almost anywhere so that's not a big deal.

I'm still trying to figure out how to fit my new phone into my budget. It's not so much the phone that I have to find money for but the new data plan that I'll have to add on. I want way too many things considering my limited income.

I'll be shopping this weekend for sure

I just know it. I looked at my shoes today and the heels are totally gone. I also need some new shirts for the spring and summer. While I'm at it I might as well buy a few fashion jewelry sets to match my new clothes. I know just where to look too. I'll look at holsted jewelers on the internet. They have some great pieces at reasonable prices.

I've looked at my different coworkers and I've noticed that it's their jewelry and accessories that sets their outfit apart. That's just what I'm looking for. I had better get shopping now while I still have extra money.

I need to go shopping

I ran out of food. I knew I didn't buy enough when I went shopping last weekend. I grabbed enough fruit but not enough of everything else. That means that instead of spending the entire weekend in the house, I'll get to go out.

I guess that's a plus.

I can't find them

I still can't find the shoes that I want. I've been looking all over for them and they're no where to be found. I looked on at least 5 websites but I still can't find them. I guess the shoes are totally out of stock. I'm really bummed about that. I really found something that I liked and now I can't even get them.

I really want those shoes

I saw a pair of shoes that I wanted but I didn't buy them at the time. I was waiting for them to go on sale before I bought them. Then I forgot all about buying them. A few months went past and I remembered them. I went to the store and they're totally gone. They don't have them in any sizes at all. I went online to several retailers and I still can't find them.

I'm even willing to pay the full price for them I liked them just that much.

Have you started shopping for Christmas yet?

It's a really busy time of the year. I went to the mall yesterday to go grocery shopping and it was packed. Even at the grocery store. I'm glad I order everything online since it's so easy to get what I want. There's a motorcycle club here that my friend belongs to and I've thought about getting some yamaha motorcycle parts for his bike. I know he'll like that since he loves his bike.

Luckily I only have 2 or 3 people to buy for.

I don't think I'll be shopping this weekend

It's cold outside. I mean freezing cold. It's been snowing for the past few days so it's wet and miserable outside. If I don't have to go outside then I won't. I have enough food to last me for the next week and a half. The only downside is that I would have to go out on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. We all know the stores will be a mad house then.

I just don't feel like going out tomorrow. I think I need the rest.

It seems like a unlikely present

I have a aunt who is sickly. We have to buy her so many special items for her house. For the holidays I'm thinking of buying her a toilet seat riser. It just seems like a really odd gift to give someone. But I feel like if she needs it and it benefits her, then it's a useful and thoughtful gift. You just feel weird giving that to someone though.

It didn't hurt that I got a discount by going to their website and signing up for their ecatalog. It's only going on for a limited time so I jumped on it. The site also sells other health-related items, dietary supplements and exercise equipment. So I might be able to buy myself something from there after all.

Now I need another small gift for my aunt. Just because.

I'm not spending any money this weekend

I'm not spending any money at all. I don't need anything for lunch for work because I buy everything in bulk. I'm good on breakfast food for the next week. I keep going over budget because of small things. I'm trying to stop letting money slip through my fingers.

I'll see how long this lasts.

I really want to go shopping today

I don't have to work today since it's Veteran's Day. I didn't plan anything even though I want to go to the mall. I went to the mall last week and spent more money than I had planned even though it wasn't a lot. I really don't want to spend more money this week. I just realized that I only have $200 and that's not enough for my slush fund.

Maybe I'll just go get something to eat. I love the mall Bourbon Chicken.

Wearing the gear the pros wear

Lately I've been noticing that a lot of football players are wearing military style clothing. They've been wearing a lot of fatigues including hats, pants and shirts. Next I'm waiting for them to show up with Galco holsters on their hip. I wonder if it's their own clothing lines or not.

I bet a lot of people will run out and buy what they're wearing just because.

Great shopping for men in NYC

When most people think of going shopping in NYC, they think of shoes, purses and clothes for women. Women in New Jersey, PA, Delaware and Maryland drive to NYC to get the latest fashions at extremely low prices.

What most people don't think about is shopping for men. There are plenty of places for men to buy clothes. But there is only one place to shop if you're looking for a custom suit. Who wouldn't love to get a custom made suit for almost the same price as a off the rack suit? Just think of the impression that you will make with your new suit.

You are supposed to dress for the job that you want not the job you have. Most people in business also know that it's important to make a great first impression on your customers. With a off the rack suit, your customers might not take you seriously. However when they see you wearing a great fitting mens' suit they will think differently of you. A well-dressed man exudes confidence and that draws people closer to him.

If you plan on going to NY, you should check out the link above to make an appointment to get fitted for your great new look.

I need a new pair of sneakers

I don't like to shop that much. Maybe it's because I'm trying to lose weight or maybe it's because I have a ton of clothes that I already don't wear. I don't want to add any more clothes to my closet to just sit there with tags on them. That's why I usually buy everything from the internet. I get clothes, sneakers, a ipod and a mp3 player. I also bought my laptop online and it was much cheaper than I could have gotten it in the store.

Now I need a new pair of sneakers. Mine are very worn and dirty looking. They also don't feel that good on my feet anymore. It looks like the front of one shoe is about to totally crack off. I don't even remotely know how I did that. I probably bumped my foot against something but I'm not sure. I'm looking all over the internet for the 2008 thanksgiving specials. I could care less about Christmas shopping, these purchases will be for me. The best part though is that since I'm shopping during the height of the seasonal rush, I'll reap the benefits of the shopping discounts.

I'm especially interested in eastbay coupons because that's where I always buy my sneakers. They have a large selection and the best prices on the shoes. Then when I add a coupon to my order, they are cheaper than going to a regular store.

I just don't know what color sneakers to get. I do know that they will be either all white or blue and white.

I didn't buy nearly enough comfort food

It's so cold outside today. This is the time of year I really like to have the warm and filling comfort food. I did buy some when I went to the grocery store last week but I didn't get nearly enough. I need more soup, oatmeal and snack crackers. I had a bowl of soup and all I kept thinking was that I needed some crackers with it.

I'll make a list for this weekend so I don't forget anything.

Shopping with a cop is weird

My new friend is a police officer. It's really weird walking around with him when he's in uniform. The first thing people think is that I'm being arrested or something. Yesterday he had on one of those Galco Holsters with his gun in it and we're walking around the mall looking for shoes. I think people thought that I was shoplifting. You should have seen the stares that I was getting.

I told him next time we're getting his stuff online. Whether it's for work or his regular clothes. But I'm not going shopping with him in uniform any more.

I have so much yogurt

I went shopping and yogurt was on sale this week. It's normally 6 for $4.00. This week was 20 for $10.00. If you bought all 10 you could get an extra $1.00 off. Of course I bought the 20. Now I don't have to buy yogurt for at least a month.

For the next 2 weeks I don't need yogurt, juice or soda. That will save me some money on those weeks shopping bills.

I need a new computer accessory

I've upgraded my computer now I need to take care of it. I have a laptop and sometimes it gets so hot on the bottom that I end up turning it off. I thought about getting a fan but I think I need a cooling plate. I've seen them online starting at $20+.

I need to start comparing prices and buy one as soon as possible. I don't want my computer to overheat and start acting up.

I need somewhere cheaper to shop

My local grocery store is so expensive. I went shopping and just because I know prices of some other stores, I know they're too expensive. WalMart is so much cheaper but it's further away so I don't go there as often.

I have to wait for sales just to be able to buy every day grocery items.

I thought he said "Where's my sign?"

I knew it was crazy. I'm standing in line buying alcohol for the family reunion so I'm thinking that I have no need for a sign.

But that's not what he said. He was using one of the oldest pick-up lines in the world. He literally asked "What's my sign?". I looked at him in shock really. I just couldn't believe anyone would ask such a stupid question and really expect a serious answer. That line wasn't even good in the 70's let alone today. So what did I do? I tossed my hair that looked like it had was a Extreme Style by VO5 and told him that my sign was "stop". Then I just walked away doing my best switch and shimmy with my best "I'm all that" attitude.

If you go online, you can play a game called the Ultimate Flirting Championship. This guy could not have played the game because he had the worse lines. If he had played, I'm sure his approach would have been much smoother. They have some great lines on that site. So guys, please check it out and play the game before you start trying to use corny lines on a woman.

Maybe it was the fact that I was buying alcohol that made him use those lines. Maybe he thought I was already drunk and he could pick me up. I don't know but he was the ultimate in lame!
