Feeling Guilty...

I've been missing in action, because I've been feeling guilty. I've been toying with the idea of getting a wig for some time - like 6 years! I have hair - but it's very thin and I don't have a lot of it, which means that I can't do the cute styles that I like. It also seems, in the last year - my hair is becoming more unpredictable in what it will do and it's just blah. So anyways, over the last couple of weeks, I've been to a place that specializes in just wigs - and tried some on and in different styles and colors. I narrowed it down to 2 that I really like and that look good on me. I went back on the weekend and bought 1 wig (at $300 they are not cheap!) but this is money that I had saved, so no going into debt over. The Hair kit I also bought, which includes the stand, wig shampoo, wig conditioner and wig hair spray and special brush, was an extra $45.

- I only plan on wearing the wig for now, on the weekends and vacation - not ready to wear it to work - as I don't want my co-workers to think I'm crazy.

- I love the color and style and feel great when I'm wearing it, but I'm feeling really guilty about spending the money, not only that, I want to get the other one also, down the road, as it's a different style and color to the one I just got and it will be nice to have the options of what I want to wear. I know it's frivolous spending and that is why I'm feeling super guilty.

Renovation Budget

This weekend Hubby re-insulated the front and back door and put new weather stripping around both doors, in hopes that it will help our heating costs going forward. The budget for this $150 - hopefully it works as even that, was a stretch for our budget. In true Murphy's fashion the drill's recharger also died - replacement cost - approx $80. That will have to wait until next month.

On the bright side, we didn't do anything else this long weekend, so we saved money by not going anywhere or eating out.
