No one has ever accused me of thinking about something too much.  This is often a trait that is good.  Had I thought about it too much, I probably wouldn’t have gone out with my husband.  I certainly wouldn’t have moved back to St. Louis from Santa Barbara and I certainly wouldn’t be going to New Orleans in April.  But,  I often act without thinking.  I am a feeling kind of girl. If something seems like it would be a good idea, then sign me up.  I’ll worry about the rest later.  Most of the time it works out.  Well.  Not this time. 

Last week I was at the mall for a playdate with mom’s from my mom’s group.  I decided to go shopping…only because Minnow really wanted to tour and walk the mall.  So we ended up at the MAC store.  Usually this wouldn’t be a problem, other than I have been lusting (like a teenage boy in the girls locker room) over an iphone.  Also, I had just spent sometime with a dear friend who had just gotten an itouch and I thought it was so cool and if I can’t get an iphone (I am not always rational) then an itouch would be perfect.  It has everything but the phone and I already have a cell phone.  I was trying to be grown up about it. I think we all know how that usually works out. 

So, I’ve had my itouch for a total of 6 days and I’ll be damned if I didn’t just bargain with hubby (sacrificing anniversary, mother’s day and birthday presents for the rest of the year) because I absolutely have to have an iphone.  Please…yes I know this is totally unreasonable and quite childish, but you know what life it too short to not get what you want if you can manage it.  Sure I feel guilty that I have practically bought the same thing twice in 5 days time.  But I am so happy that I am getting an iphone.  And  now my almost 2 year old will be the only kid at playdates with his own itouch.  He’ll totally think I’m cool–well once he realizes what cool is.
