My Addiction Came Back...

It's not video games, coffee, illicit substances, lawful substances, narcotics, or food...

It's shopping....

In high school i liked shopping. Me ENCANTABA ir de compras. I shopped so much that I don't know where I spent all of my hard earned Regal movie theater pay checks. (And by hard earned, I mean sweat shop, slavery hard work)

Then college came along. I spent/spend about $40-$50 a week on gas commuting to the ATL, so I cut my budget to just eating at school 2-3 times a week so I'd only spend approximately $10-$20 on novelties y comida (food for non-spanish speakers). I rationed my dinero because who can I ask for money because I was being careless & spent it all? NO ONE! I only ask my parents for money to buy books for school. Everything else is my cheddah. Gas, credit card bills, clothing, oil changes, tires, brakes, toiletries, computers, some food, etc...

I didn't go shopping for nearly a year....June 2010-April2011. Like really buy myself clothing, jewelry, accessories, etc... I would treat myself to only ONE item at a time every couple of months... about 3-5 month spans between.

Now that the semester is almost over & I still see I have a pocket full of BIG FACES from not spending JACK, I went to the mall & treated myself to 2 shirts & a pair of sandals!!!! I hadn't bought that much in one outing in FOREVER.

I went again the next weekend and bought 4 items. Then there was a sale at Bath & Body Works while I was shopping for Mia. Now... I want to go shopping more!

Shopping is a horrible, TERRIBLE, ungrateful addiction! Only because it can't go away. I'm sure I'm gonna need new clothing because of tears, stains, lack of style or I'll gain 44 kilos (20 pounds)! Its not like alcohol where its not necessary or other substances that are just done for the recreation and stupidity. SHOPPING IS NEEDED!

But I must control myself from these urges... And overcome this stupid thing called Shop-a-holism.
