There's
a funny thing that has happened as a result of having a steady income
and very little bills. I suddenly find myself the proud, albeit
slightly embarrassed owner of some kind of odd purchases. I
accidentally discovered the joy of online shopping and since then
have obviously taken advantage of it.
Here's
a few of my new purchases:
Cat Sweater
I
know what you're thinking. I can practically see the looks of "Oh
my gosh did she actually spend money on that????" Yes.
Yes I did. My justification at the time was, "Everyone needs an
Ugly Sweater! What if there's a sudden ugly sweater competition and I
am woefully unprepared??" I am happy to inform you that not only
am I now prepared for any last minute life-or-death ugly sweater
competitions in the western Washington region, but I feel confident I
have a good chance of winning.
Star Trek Uniform (Costume)
This
one is actually justifiable as it is almost Halloween and I do not
have any costumes. As a huge nerd in a family of nerds, I felt it
best to pay tribute to my original favorite nerd fandom. The only
thing I would complain about is the fit. There is way too much fabric
in the armpits, making them almost wing-like. Also; the skirt part is
not sown together. For some reason they left the overlapping parts
unconnected so there's a weird hole if you lift the front flap. It's
not too noticeable, but I probably will get someone to fix these
oddities for me.
Cat Tower
I
have cats. They really needed their own place to chill that wasn't my
bookshelf. They also desperately needed scratching posts that weren't
my furniture. At first, my kitten was scared of it and wouldn't go
near it. This was extremely annoying as I spent a good bit of money
on it and time putting it together. The directions were almost
nonexistent and I pretty much had to figure it out on my own.
However, all that being said, I'm pretty happy with it now. The
kitten has gotten used to it and uses it frequently, and it doesn't
look horrible or take up too much space in my small house.
