cha ching

Justin and I share a car. It pretty much sucks.  I usually don't get to go anywhere during the day because he has to take the car to work and Evelyn is NEVER awake when he leaves, so I can't drive him there and come back.
So basically, unless someone comes to visit me (which is once every couple weeks(besides my awesome mom(who is preparing us for an economic crisis)) I don't have any human contact. 
I only have this little baby who really enjoys most everything I have to say, but can't quite tell me, in English, what she's thinking about.
Lately Justins work friend has been offering to pick him up on his way to work, so I can have the car, and it's really great, but I get so excited that I end up going somewhere and buying something that I shouldn't be buying, like clothes, baby clothes, $20 giraffe squeaky toy, etc. 
It's just so difficult because it's cold outside and if i want to go somewhere in public I always end up in a store of some sort
...and I don't get the FULL RUSH unless I swipe the card.
I was sleeping when Justin left for work this morning.  He texted me at 4:30pm and asked if I would run to the store to pick up some beer for him and I thought he was just joking, like telling me to walk to the grocery store, and that's when I walked over to the key dish and realized I've had the car ALL day and had no idea. 
EXCITEMENT!!!! I had like an hour and a half until he got home and a car and a card and a little grocery list and FREEDOM!!!!!
I'm like one of those defiant dogs that sprints past you, unleashed, at the front door and runs around in circles, barking in the front yard.
I'm getting so good at keeping Evelyn distracted while I bundle her up for cold weather that she didn't even know what hit her. 
Five minutes later we were in the car on the way to the STORE!
What store?!
Who knows!!! But we're going somewhere!
I sent out a text to a friend I've been wanted to meet for coffee for months and went to the baby consignment shop Once Upon a Child while I waited for a response. 
This is where I get in trouble. 
Justin...
I'm sorry.  I spent $15 at Once Upon a Child. 
But I got a Baby Mozart dvd for $4.50 and three little outfits that were super cheap and practical and i'm sorry.
Lets just pretend like it never happened.

Then I went to Starbucks with my friend, but I didn't pay for anything there. Thanks P.S.

Last, I went to the grocery store for Justins specific requests: cheap beer, nyquil, and french fries.
And I went ahead and broke my own personal goal and bought candy conversation hearts and peanut butter whoppers.
I'm addicted to sugar.  It makes me feel good. 

I should take up smoking to ween my candy cravings, huh?
no.
I shouldn't.
and you're a bad person if you think I should.
