More lack of will power

More proof that I sometimes lack willpower:

Michaels had a series of painting kits, almost a paint-by-number thing, with a printed outline canvas, paints, and palette.  $10 before Christmas.  I found one at the local store, 70% off, and for some reason came home and looked on the website.  Found a bunch more, but resisted.  Then, today, 80% off.  So I bought a dozen. 

Why????  Who knows.  No more new projects, though.  I need to start, and finish, some of the projects I've already bought.

Off the frugality wagon

So, while trying to be more frugal, I managed to spend

$20 at Michaels on stuff to finish projects (but I'm NOT starting anything new)
$30 at Hallmark on clearance ornaments
$47 on bird feed - but that'll last a few months
$7 at Amazon - but at least there was a discount on the book for whatever reason, so it was cheaper than used.  But it's still a book I already own but can't freaking find.

Better luck tomorrow.
