Shopaholics Anon.

I have already successfully completed a course in blogaholics anon, and even though it doesn't seem like it I DO spend less time blogging. Now it is time to send myself through a shopaholics anonymous course. Over the past week I have had a heart to heart with myself, and decided that indeed I shop online TOO MUCH. Since Ryan got a major raise at work I have, little by little, started piddling money away online. It's almost like eating a chocolate chip cookie (or in my case 10). It feels so great doing it, but after it's that yucky feeling in the pit of your stomach. Anyway, I love going through Old Navy etc.... and finding all the awesome deals, so I decided I will still allow myself to do that; on one condition, when I figure out the grand total of my purchases I will add that money to our van payment, to get that paid down sooner, instead of buying my finds. I already added $39.50 this morning. I was all set to buy a few things this morning, and had them in my cart for a few days, but decided to implement my plan. It felt GREAT to do something productive with that money. I read (in Parents) about a group of women online that get kicks out of paying down debt. They chat back and forth with each other about it, and encourage each other. I thought that was cool! I will have to update my blog in a month and let ya'll know how much money I have rerouted so far. Before you think I am full of will power I will just say last, but not least, I will not give up my obsession with Bajio--which already takes too much of our money. Poor Ryan. Last time we were there he's all "Aren't you getting sick of Bajio?" H#@% NO I'm not! I love it!
