One Day More

The Awk's feelings about Enjolras' voice are...awk.

Don't judge.  I loved Les Miserables before you did. #hipsterawk

Frugal Fabruary starts at 12:00 am.  I'm starting to get a tad bit antsy, but I'm just going to pretend that I'm a well-adapted, non-Ebay addicted human being and hope that no one notices the fact that I have beads of sweat forming on my brow due to purchasing deprivation.  

In other news, I just moved into my new (and very first) office at work.  And, of course, I'm so tempted to forget Frugal Fabruary altogether and go on an office decorating shopping spree.  Trying my best to practice patience.  Let's see what I can do without spending money.

I just need to take a page from the ladies of RuPaul's Drag Race.  Did you see Lineysha Sparx's trashsterpiece this week?

To die for!  If she can create a ballgown out of discarded wallpaper, I should be able to put together a handful of presentable outfits by using my bottomless collection of cardigans.  Right?

Think like a drag queen.  Think like a drag queen.  Think like a drag queen.

Slow Taper

Yay!  Awkward and unnecessary brush effects!

So, when they prescribe me prednisone, they tell me two things: my already round face will start resemble a moon and I must taper off the steroids slowly and carefully.  

Online shopping and steroids are sort of the same, right?  Both involve euphoria, mania, and ill-fitting clothing.  Totally the same. 

I'm slowly weaning myself off my beloved eBay in preparation for Frugal Fabruary, and my tapering plan consists of a three-step plan.  First, I frantically bid on every J. Crew item I could find while screaming, "I'm just not ready!  I can't get through February without a chambray button-down!  And patterns!  I need more patterns!"

Then, on January 21st, I decided enough was enough.  No more bidding on clothing.  Only cheap scarves and necklaces from China.  A lady isn't presentable without a striped infinity scarf.

As of today, I'm not to bid on any more items.  I can ride out the wave of my remaining auctions, but that's it.  This is the end.  For real real, not for play play.

Was that actually three steps or was it just a hot mess of thoughts?
