I may be poor soon
I just bid on ebay on a lens that I really should not be buying. I wanted to spend under $300 on a lens, and I just bid up to $400. Part of me really really wants it. Its so cool....mmmmm nikon VR lens..... *wipes up geeky photographer drool*
Part of me hopes I lose the auction, because I should not spend the money. I should paint my house, get new glasses, and replace my living room furniture. I should do all sorts of practical things with that money, mainly involving putting it in savings and not spending it. But I have never ever bought myself anything truly indulgent like this before. (and buying a used lens can't really be indulgent, right?) I drive used cars, I have never had new. I use computers cobbled together out of my husbands spare or old boxes. In fact, the only time I have spent this much money on one thing, was to buy the refrigerator. and to buy the bedding/curtains when we moved. I don't think I have ever spent this much on a luxury item in my life. Hell, when Shannon wanted to buy me diamond earrings for Christmas two years ago, I talked him out of getting 1/3 carat, into getting 1/4 carat instead.... So, I deserve it right?
ok... remind me of this when I am living off ramen soup all summer.......
Keep your fingers crossed for me....
