Why so much guilt?

I am cheap. I'll just say it; I have a hard time buying expensive things, things full price, and things that cost money in general. There's no denying it, though: I do like new stuff. I just don't like paying for new stuff. Ha! Lacey and I spent the entire day hanging out, eating, visiting places, and shopping (I'll write about it later), but ended up blowing through every single dollar that I had in my wallet. Every dollar. Every single one. I bought two nice pairs of flats to wear to work (since I was wearing the same pair straight for two weeks), a nice work shirt, lunch, a museum visit, a Walgreens run for shampoo and toothpaste, a water from a street vender, an over the shoulder purse from another street vender, and a new dress. No doubt, I'll be wearing those clothes a lot a lot a lot. BUT to give you a number, it would all probably be good for 2.5 meals at Fogo de Chao. Or a new beagle. Or 40 frappaccinos from Starbucks. Aiaiai. Guilt! Guilt! Guilt!

I was telling Anthony, though, that if you put it into perspective, some women spend that much money on 1-2 items. and some women even spend that much money every weekend. Now, I have plenty enough money for the rest of the summer (no worries at all), but still. I'm cheap. Ack! Someone tell me it was worth it!
