this wasn't in the plan |but life is still pretty good

Long, long ago Emily at Remodeling This Life tagged me for a meme in which I'm supposed to list five things that cause me to break the budget. I've thought long and hard about this and sadly (or not) can only come up with three. Apparently I have a lot of willpower when it comes to spending - if I could only apply that to other aspects of my life, I'd be all set. So here they are:

Harry Connick, Jr Concert Tickets - He comes to town and I go. I tend not to care how much tickets cost. Luckily, The Tall One knows this. I say there's a concert coming up and TTO just tells me not to buy the most expensive tickets (as opposed to, well can we afford tickets? Doesn't matter dude, we're going).

Cute Pictures of My Children - I like decorating with photographs, and went a wee bit overboard when I had Bug's three year old pictures taken. I had some fabulous picture of Monkey taken when he was six month old and keep printing more of them to put up in various locations.

Ice Cream - I say that if it means going over the budget in groceries, I'll forgo the ice cream. But I lie. Actually, we don't have any right now. I think I was in such a hurry last time I grocery shopped that I *gasp* forgot about getting some. Gummy bears are often a culprit too, but since Bug really likes them also, I don't pick them up often because I'm mean and don't want to share.
