Needs and Wants

Wednesday, October 28, 2009

When I am making a purchase I usually analyze whether I need to have said item, or I want to have it.

In an ideal world where traffic lights are always green the answer to both of those questions would be yes. I want this AND I need this.

My analysis has been faulty lately.

I have 13 sticks of butter in my fridge and a 100% polyester 60's (I think) dress in my closet.

Habits are hard to break and every time I go to the grocery store I feel I must buy butter. Every time I am in a thrift store and find an amazing costume outfit I must have it.

Moral of the story- lets dress up vintage and eat some cookies. Also, don't trust my analytical skills.

I found a pkg of butter in my fridge in the dorm. (?) Do you want it?

Andrea said...

Is that real butter or margarine? Not that it really matters. And on another note, there really WASN'T an update for this blog on my dashboard. So I wasn't just going crazy. Not sure what the deal was, but hopefully we won't have that problem again.

P.S. Thanks for being a good teacher and actually remembering the Four Stepping dance. You are a good party saver. :)

I would be happy to join you in fulfilling both parts of this moral.

Andrea- That would be genuine cow butter crowding out my soy milk. It does matter.

I don't know about the butter, but the polyester 60's dress is DEFINITELY a need. I need more retro in my life, so I should go thrift store shopping soon.
