so anyway i have this new thing where i am not not spending but where i am not spending as much. it is called having a budget and sticking to it. something i've never been especially good at but that recently i haven't even remembered about.

case in point. one day last week i was dressing for work and realised that there were few clothes i owned that looked blingin'. some fine clothes but not many things that i could put on and feel pristine in. so anyway, a few suggestive comments from colleagues and three hours later i'm in a shop spending four hundred dollars on a dress and a cardigan. what the? i guess the upside is that the next morning i wore something and felt pristine in it.

anyway, under the budget oh seven regime this will change. it may mean more meticulous laundry practices on my part to help clothes keep pristine and ergo more work. but it will be worth it because hello, i will be able to afford eat dinners while i'm in new york IN SEPTEMBER.

in other news i had delicious toasted sandwiches and cocktails at mighty mighty tonight. i keep waiting to start to tire of that place, and yet.... i am still in love. and with five dollar toasted sandwiches my budget loves it too...
