But I want it!

You know those things?  The ones that you see, and you think to yourself "I want that."  You talk yourself out of it, because you don't NEED it, and needs come before wants.  But you continue to think about it, and your rationalization becomes "but I want it."

Well, I have one of those that has been bugging me for a while now.  If you haven't figured it out, I'm a diehard Vera fan.  But I'm also a Disney princess.  And so I have been wanting this for some time now:

I definitely know this is a WANT and not a NEED.  Especially since the pricetag is a little steep, even on sale.  But.  There's always a but, right?  My credit card rewards me in Disney Dollars.  You know, the kind that can be used at the Disney store?  And I am thisclose to having enough to pay for it.  So close, that I wanted to transfer the balance to my rewards card to be able to buy it today.  The difference would have cost me around $10 - very reasonable to me.  But because I don't have the minimum number to transfer, it won't let me.  I'm more than a little disappointed - this wristlet is on sale, and I don't know how long it will stay that way.  It might take me a couple more months, but I think I'll fulfill this WANT without taking away from any NEEDS.  Because really - is anything I would buy at the Disney store a NEED? :)
What's your WANT?  How do you justify it if you give in and buy it ahead of your needs?

Post It Note Tuesday

Iced In

This isn't around my house, but it might as well be.  We had a TON of ice on Tuesday, and haven't been to school since Monday.  They've called a delay for tomorrow morning, we'll see if we actually get to go or not!

 

During all this, I've been thankful to keep  my electric.  My furnace is electric, as are my baseboard heaters.  If the power goes out, I'm going to be very cold!  I've already made plans that if that is the case, I will drive to my parents' house.  Even if they don't have power, they do have a fireplace.  Yet another reason it's on my list of necessities for my next house!

With all this time... I've done nothing productive.  It's been great!  I've sat around, played with Jager, worked on my taxes a little... and relaxed.  I could truly get used to having this much time in my house.  I know better though - although the forecast is for more snow!

Vera Vera VERA!

Guess who's got tickets to go to the Vera Outlet Sale?!?  THIS GIRL!  I'm so excited, I can't wait for April now!  I will go on Thursday with Kristina, and then I might go back on Saturday with my Mom.  I've sent a list for the past 5 years, I am so excited to actually get to go in person!!  I admit, I have a small Vera addiction - I am ready to start working on my wish list :)
