Things, things, things

I'm not supposed to be buying things this week, but I've been tempted by the Dalaga newsletter, which features some really freaking cute clothing. What to do, what to do?

Answer: Wait. If I want it that badly, I'll still want it in a month. Plus, do I really need another pencil skirt or grey coat? No, I have a few pencil skirts and a grey coat that should get me through the winter. I feel like maybe part of it is being in New York. I have been gripped with a horrible desire to acquire, acquire, acquire. It's a new season, I need new outfits. This, of course, is not true. In fact, I probably need to clear out my closet before even thinking about purchasing another outfit.

I did, in fact, purchase some opera tickets yesterday. Looking forward to La Damnatian de Faust on October 26. Hopefully we'll find Matthew's binoculars before then.

I also made some crappy brownies last night. I really need to make a big note on the recipe that it needs twice the amount of chocolate to taste good. It's more like cake than brownie, but that's also because it's whole wheat. They're "healthy." Should have added raisins, but I'll save that for the next time.
