Eight or so books and a cinema ticket (angels & demons).
I didn't go in with high expectations given the reviews I'd seen, but it was ok

New black strappy sandals and just ordered pizza!
This will be me tomorrow evening.
The pizza bit, not the strappy sandals.
Today, I settled for cream tea for two and a long walk to burn off the clotted cream calories.
Who's the new boyfriend?
No purchases today, but a pair of tickets to T4 (a fun ride) yesterday.
I also recently bought some Taylor spark plug cables for my car, as the stock ones can deteriorate and lead to rough idling. I think a new battery is in the cards soon, too. The old one is pushing its fifth anniversary and the car's been having a bit of trouble cranking lately.
Cheeky!
I'll stick those sparkplugs where the sun don't shine if you keep that up!
Free OJ?
EDIT: And I just made myself an orange blossom while I work on some dissertation edits. Free OJ, indeed.

A book - Ask And It Is Given: Learning to manifest the law of attraction.
An Abercrombie and Fitch white sueded cotton shirt. I love how their cotton feels.

I sold my soul for furniture yesterday. What was left of it, anyway.
I bought a partial bedroom set (bed, mattress, foundation, dresser, night table), a kitchen table, two end tables, two side chairs, and two lamps.
It's going to mean some stiff monthly payments over the next six months, but it'll be worth it to finally stop living like a grad student. Salaried jobs in recession-resistant industries ftw!
Soon I will finally have a fully-furnished apartment.
I feel so... grown-up.

"The soul can not think without a picture. Or a bed, or mattress, or bedside tables, or lamps or..."
I bought groceries in the morning, including everything required to make myself a few glasses of Tom Collins this afternoon. Ah, happy day, lazing in the sunshine...

Funny thing is--I bought the pictures before I bought the furniture.
Which meant that, for a while, I was essentially camping in a half-empty aprtment with nice art on the walls. Then I began to think: "you know--those pictures just don't look right without furniture."
Which, come to think of it, is fairly typical of the ass-backwards way I do everything in life.
My currently slightly inebriated mind is rather fond of the image of you sitting cross-legged in the centre of some spartan cell, puffing thoughtfully on a briar, focused on some obscure Bouguereau and suddenly thinking, "man, what this room really needs is a nice occasional table". 
I hope it was good. I've now got that damn song running through my mind.
Some lumber and casters to make a couple of under-bed storage boxes to go under the kids' beds. I may get a dovetail jig to make the drawers - haven't decided yet.
New blue sheets for our bed.
And Hubby chose the color.
My brainwashing techniques have apparently been successful. He bought a blue car and now blue sheets, without my saying a word.
