I have no self control!

It all started a week and a half ago...I was alone on a Saturday morning (it was a freakish alignment of the planets I guess) and watching an infomercial while folding clothes. Yes, I was thinking how pitiful that was that all I could find on my noncable t.v. was an interesting infomercial because all those kid shows that I usually love for entertaining my children were taking up all the channels!!! So, there she was Cindy Crawford telling me the secret to her beauty was this melon juice extracted by a doctor only found in France (?) who she persuaded to make into a lotion that she could bring to all of us regular women who too wanted to be beautiful like her! And I couldn't resist it! I had to call - she was speaking to me through that t.v.! I questioned the operator like any educated shopper about to give away her credit card number should and once I felt like I really knew "Sheila" and she wouldn't lie to me I bought the whole package of beautifing lotions. I waited a good week before I had the nerve to tell Nate I had gotten set up for a monthly program of receiving this magic potion all for a low price of .... (you'll have to watch the show!) I hate to end this tale by saying that I still haven't received the stuff in the mail and now I"m wondering if it was all a dream I had one night about being a runway model? I'll keep you posted (before and after pictures if I ever get it).
So, next in my line of wacky purchases - I get a door to door salewoman today selling children's bibles. After her "only 10 minutes" of talking with me and the boys stairing at her like 'why does mommy have this stranger sitting on our living room floor asking her personal questions, she too became my new friend. (She is an exchange student from Hong Kong going to college in VA. and trying to earn some money doing an internship selling these bibles for Thomas Nelson). Yes, Yes, I bought the 3 volume leather bound bibles from her. I couldn't say no and I know the kids will be blessed by the time we spend reading them at night - but still did I have to spend soooo much money! (At least I did call Nate this time and asked his opinion and he as he so lovingly does told me he trusts my judgement - bad choice Nate) =)
What will I buy next? Did I mention I hosted an UpperCase Living party a few weeks ago because I couldn't say no to the saleslady at my friend's U.C.L. party two months ago? But at least that time I got tons of free stuff and only paid out a little.

No one call me or visit me in hopes of getting me to buy anything!!!!!
