who lacks self-control?

Lately I've become reckless with my money. It's a little scary. I think, during this time of preparing to be poor, I'm doing everything I can to ensure I will be poor.

This morning I ordered a lot of T-shirts. When I say a lot, I really mean more than I need. A few days ago I decided to order a couple from a shirt company in Idaho. I didn't finish the ordering until this morning when I saw a listing for a band I like selling their CD and a shirt for $15. What a deal! It's a slippery slope. The first one felt so great that I decided to get the other two, which then lead to 12.

Yes, I said 12. Twelve.

The three shirts would have been enough. Three would have been more than enough, but nooooo. Not me. No, I have to go overboard and order a subscription for a shirt a month. Each month, starting in September, I'll be getting a subscriber-only exclusively designed T-shirt in the post. Because I'm just that kind of nerd.

Maybe the one magazine subscription I have wasn't enough. Maybe I am so desperate for mail that I want to guarantee I'll get something other than bills for the next year. Maybe I shouldn't have been on the computer at 7am on a holiday. But I am looking forward to the first shirt. I just have to not spend any more money on anything until I pay off this latest round of insanity.

I hate money. But I sure love T-shirts.

Have you seen the trailer for "Beerfest"?! It will become an instant classic. I am excited. It looks completely awesinine.
