Interesting Day

So, today was my last day with my husband before he was off to Waterton for the weekend and I don't get to see him until Monday now :( . So we had to do of course a whole swack of chores we had to buy some new bathroom stuff (what is it with me and forgetting to take pictures) like a new garbage can, shower curtain, new hangers for the new shower curtain, tooth brush holder and new soap holder. And then get this!!!! We spontaneously bought a couch for our upstairs!!! It is seriously the most expensive thing I have EVER bought (besides my house) we had $432 on a gift card from the wedding and the other $500 we took out of our savings account. It is totally not like me to spend that much money on something that we really don't need but something purely pleasure. I feel so conflicted because this couch is totally awesome and it is truley the perfect couch for us but it cost us $500!!! I mean I can't complain because we ordered a dishwasher without paying for it, and we bought a deep freeze without paying for it either. So really $500 is really nothing and I really can't bitch but I just can't get over spending that much money on ONE thing. Maybe I wouldn't feel so bad if I got more than one thing but I don't know. Maybe I am just so cheap.....I mean I knew that I was cheap but the inability so spend something on myself that will help the house. I dunno I need to learn to live and use our savings money for what it is actually for; nice things that we want. If I can't spend it on a couch that will help our quality of life, what makes me think I can spend a couple of thousand on a trip?? Food for thought for sure!!
