shopping spree

If you haven't heard Atom and His Package sing the beautiful song "Shopping Spree" then you just don't know what sort of gleeful mania is infecting the air around me as I sing with joy over my recent SHOPPING SPREE!

I saw that elann.com had a good price on Pakucho Organic Cotton, and I've been meaning to make the Cable-Eight top from Interweave Knits Spring '05, so I went ahead and bought eleven skeins in the Natural color before I could forget. Thirty-three bucks for a cute top is not bad, so I don't feel too guilty.

What *does* worry me is what I might end up spending at Chronicle Books, which is having a sale on their catalog right now... I already have a bunch of their titles on my "want" list, and browsing the site isn't helping my wallet any. The upside to all this spending is that I applied for a job today where, should I actually get the job, I will make enough money to pay for all my extravagance. In the meantime, I will eat ramen noodles while reading "The Stripper's Guide to Looking Great Naked," or some such title.
