A day full of dashed hopes...

I like shopping... I really do. I wish I had enough money to pay for all the things that I want, but unfortunately I have expensive tastes.

Anyways... I've been broke for the past two weeks because I went on several vacations in June. I went on a cruise and then I went to San Antonio for a week in order to see some friends and then watch a Broadway musical in the Queen's box seats. It was all a blast, but my pocketbook now suffers because of it.

In order to save my sanity and my sorrow... I decided to go window shopping today. I basically went into every clothing store and tried on things that I'd want. I found a perfect shirt... but no money. I found a pair of pants that made my ass look perfect... no money. I went to look at corsets: no money. The same to be said of shoes, undergarments, accessories, leggings... I found so much stuff that was perfect... but the same problem: no money. I've used all my funds for this month and I have to wait until the 15th rolls around and I get the new kickover.

Thus every time I walked into a shop... I got really giddy and hopeful about finding something... and when I found it: BAM! It was disheartening.

However, I know where all my money is going for the next month! BWAHA!

You should try saving it next time. then you won't be as poor as me.

I prefer having pretty things... money is nice but things that I can wear are nicer. Sigh... I just hate having to wait for money.

Trust me. You could be living in a cardboard box eating roadkill. I know what oyu're saying, but in this economy you just gotta get by. Another thing, I actually like window shopping.

I like window shopping too... but I prefer not finding good things when I don't have money. Putting on fabulous things that I don't want is fun... putting on fabulous things that I DO want... not quite as fun. XD

I'm slightly odd.

Well, ":-(" to your sorrow, but at least it sounds like you got pretty good value out of that money you spent :)

And this is where it becomes really obvious that I'm in theatre: which musical did you see on Broadway? :)

I have perfect seats to see Wicked: Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West!! It was brilliant! Of course it's my second time to see it, but OMG!! So beautiful!!

Ah yes, good ol' Wicked, my girlfriend saw it in the West End in London and loves it to bits :)

I've seen it in San Antonio and New York... because my friends bought the tickets!! All I had to do was fly in for the vacation. I'm looking to see it again next year in Houston, if my friend gets good enough tickets.
