curb your enthusiasm


wow, i just added up all the yarn purchases i made last year with a few books (but i'm sure not all) thrown in there. it has created a real freeze in my spending as it came out to nearly fifteen hundred dollars. the only consolation is i added up how much i would have spent in cigarettes if i was still a smoker. that came out to about twelve fifty, so i'm only off by a few hun. notice how i can only spell these amounts out and not write them in their actual numbers. i think it takes the edge off somehow. somehow sounds (looks) better. it's crazy to see how nickeling and dimeing yourself can really add up. maybe i'll be strict about using all my yarn in my stash and not buying more. hope so. yarn diet here i come.
