Okay, FINE. Have It Your Way.

Here it is – last week’s spending recap.  Ugh.  Telling you guys what I waste my money on each week is HARD.  And also?  Painful.

Tip Of The Day:  Learn from my mistakes!  Marvel at my bad choices!  Rejoice in my failures!  Yeah, I couldn’t put it off any longer – it’s time for my Weekly Recap.  But then, it’s also time for MY favorite feature.  That’s right, Eye Candy.  I wonder who will be my pretty boy this week…?

Tip For Tomorrow:  Because we never have enough of these, I’m bringing you not one, but TWO hair care product reviews.  Lest ye forget, it’s all about my hair, people.

Further Elucidation Of My Cheap Deal:  I don’t know why I hate telling you all what I spend my money on.  It’s not like I’m out blowing my wad on designer purses and clothes I don’t need.  But I do have bad habits – fast food, Target, Totino Party Pizzas – and I seem to succumb to those habits EVERY FREAKING WEEK.  Does that make them addictions?  Food for thought.

Saturday, August 22

NOTHING, Yay, me again!

Total For The Week:  $100.52.  Now THAT is not bad!  If it weren’t for the two trips to Target and the fast food, I’d even be proud of myself.

One fact I am VERY proud of?  I said at the beginning of the summer that I wouldn’t buy a single article of clothing (besides undies and a bathing suit) or pair of shoes (unless I needed them for Ren Festing) and I’ve stuck to my word.  Even though I’ve lost weight and my clothes aren’t fitting that great, I STILL haven’t bought a thing.  I’m making do with what’s in my closet – i.e. plenty of stuff – and selling the old stuff that no longer fits.

You know what else I sold?  On eBay?  For $162.00?  A collection of DVDs.  No kidding – someone wanted the copies of The Midnight Special (a TV show from the 70’s) I found, and they were willing to shell out big bucks for them.  Seriously, folks, look at your stash of unwanted stuff and see if it’s selling on eBay.  You could make a KILLING.

Alright, enough advice for one day, let’s look at some prettiness shall we?  How’s this for the pretty?

Oh my.  Alex O’Loughlin from Australia (and various TV shows).  If he doesn’t satisfy your need for something HAWT to gaze upon, nothing will.  And, of course, here he is shirtless:

I think I need a cold shower.
