Limted Qualities, It's Going to Go FAST!

Well, it's official, I need a new lap top. Black Friday is coming up and I'm sure I can snag a good deal. If I budget $500-$600 for a new laptop that's what... about a hundred dollars a month that I need to save up...

Yeah... not sure if that's going to happen, especially since The Holiday's are coming up and I am currently obsessed with QVC and HSN. Yes, the Home Shopping Network and whatever QVC stands for, I am obsessed with those channels. I haven't actually bought anything off those channels but I want to. I think it would be fun. I can call in, place an order, and maybe even talk to the host!

Hello! My name is Jin and I just bought the Echo of the Dreamer Purple Garden Party Butterfly Ring and I AB.SO.LUTE.LY LOOOOOOOOO~VE it!!!


It's going to go soooooo well with my Echo of the Dreamer Zoe Cluster Ring!!!


Then the host and I can chit-chat about our shared love of simulated semi-precious gem stones and how gold overlay are the best thing ever because it allows normal folks like me to still enjoy "couture" inspired jewelry, with gold prices being sooo high and all now, you know?

When my obsession first started I told myself that I just like watching it for the train wreck merchandise that appear. I would sit there and think, "OMG, who would wear that?!?!" but I've come to admit that I am slowly starting to actually like the stuff that appears on the show. I think it's grossly over priced but there are some stuff there I wouldn't mind getting for Christmas...

I swear, on the inside, I am a 65 year old retired women who just wants to stay home, bake, knit, and watch shopping networks... while petting a cat. That actually sounds really fun.

Back to my laptop need...

While I haven't actually bought anything off these shopping channels, watching them have instilled a very hyper-inflated value on everything. On these channels they talk about how every single characteristic is like the most amazing thing and the reason that you must buy buy buy it now! It's all going to be so life changing! It will go with everything! You will get so many compliments on it! That kind of thinking starts to carry over to everything I see and it's creating a dangerous shopping habit. I haven't gone on any crazy shopping sprees but I have bought more than I probably should have... especially since Michael and I have some pretty big financial mile stones we are trying to meet.

The smart thing to do would be to turn it off, go outside, and appreciate free things like nature and love and stuff. But you know, the Holidays are coming up...
