The Mighty Fall

I was feeling all smug and superior yesterday because I had been doing so well at the No Spend Challenge this month.

And then..well, honestly, then I just forgot.

I bought a plane ticket from Denver to NC for me, the kid, and the cats, AND i bought the kid a new carseat.

I could have waited on the carseat, but the one I wanted (a Britax Marathon) was on clearance – not the pattern i really wanted, but saving $60 meant that I really didnt care so long as it wasnt hideous. He’s still got a little growing room in his baby bucket still (he’ll height out of it before ever getting near the weight limit), but I was worried I wouldnt be able to find that good of a deal again, plus I sent it to my parents’ house, so it’s not like we have to juggle it while moving.

Um. At least i wasnt just buying crap for the sake of buying crap. I do legitimately have to get to North Carolina by plane, and prices go up the longer you wait.

Still. Im annoyed. Because Im a dufus who cant remember simple things.
