So I have an allowance now. Its not a big one, but its an allowance that is guilt free.
I just found out that Masterpiece Theatre has released some new Jane Austin redos on DVD and fanatic that I am I really really want them.
Only problem, is that I was already planning on buying 2 very nice pair of boots for work, one black and one brown to replace the 2 pair that are almost completely worn through. I have good reason to believe that these nice boots are almost sold out and need to be bought quickly if I really want them.
So do you know what will happen? I will buy the movies and just not get the boots. This is how I ended up with such a limited wardrobe in the first place. There is always something that I want more than clothes.
At least I only buy movies that I know I will watch obsessively, the rest I see through netflix.
I suppose I could afford 1 pair of boots and all the DVD's but then I would be broke.
Nope, my footwear will simply have to limp along and make it through the end of the season. I knew I should have had them resoled before I wore through the main part of the heel...
Grrr...too many choices

Have you checked the PBS schedule in your state?
P.S. My favorite is Mansfield Park

compulsive debtor: my biggest drawback to libraries is the time table. Sometimes, I just don't get to things immediately. Thats why I stopped going to them. I would have to return things I hadn't had a chance to get to. Heck, I periodically cancel my netflix subscription for the same reason, lol.

If you just can't wait to get the DVDs, buy one pair of boots and your favorite DVD and save up for the rest of the movies. That way you'll at least get both what you need (boots) and something of what you want.

As to the DVD's, I won't count on my having a lot of self control but I might surprise myself. I recently bought a video game that had been sitting on my Amazon wishlist for 2 years so that should tide me quite a while.
