Me: "Hmmm. I'm going to need a LARGE mug of coffee for my trip out to Minnetrista to film today."
Self: "Maybe I can pick one up at a gas station along the way."
Me: "Then I'd have to count that money in my expenditures for the week."
Self: "Ooofff. That's right. And I just spent $40 on a pair of boots. Boots that I needed LIKE A HOLE IN MY HEAD."
Me: "Seriously, do you think they have therapy for boot addiction? Although I must say, $40 for a pair of new Steve Maddens is not bad. And they're sooooooo steampunk!"
Self: "Perhaps I need therapy for my boot/costuming/steampunk addiction. Sigh. But then I'd have to disclose what I'm spending for the therapist."
Me: "Ooo! I have a plan – no more boots for the rest of the year, and I'll brew a pot of coffee to take with me to Minnetrista."
Self: "You are a GENIUS. A genius with too many pairs of boots, but a genius none the less."
We now return you to your regularly scheduled program. Your normal post, the one with actual frugal advice, will be posted later on this afternoon. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Need to see picture of boots!
And WHO told you to buy the boots? Why, that would be me. They are fabulous boots.
And don't think you're fooling anyone – the boots addiction may be abated for awhile, but will not stop. Sigh. I've known you far too long.
That said, we need to go shopping for boots for me. Isn't that better? Spending someone else's money?
