Why I Shouldn't Memorize My CC Number

The period between Black Friday and the post Christmas sales was very very very bad for me.  So much shopping.  It was a terrible combination of stress shopping, poor impulse control, and the ability to justify anything to myself.

First up was an order that was placed almost immediately after Amanda posted her sales list (thank you so much for doing that!) to One Horse Threads.  Ever since I saw this T-shirt for the first time, I have wanted it.  Of course I threw in a few other things, but really the star was the "Oh Crop" t-shirt (which is totally amazing!).

I took advantage of the sales that If The Bonnet Fits and Dark Jewel Designs had, because both of them are amazing and I would happily hand them all my money.  To be quite honest, I have handed them a fair amount since I am up to six strands from Dark Jewel Designs and once I get the order from If the Bonnet Fits I will have four of her bonnets.  Can we just say I have a problem and leave it at that?

I also impulsed purchased a FitBit.  I have zero regrets about it and absolutely love it.

This picture doesn't begin to do the brow band justice,

and it will look even better with the navy bonnet

I won't even touch the majority of the metric crap ton that I purchased from Riding Warehouse.  For the most part it was either presents or boring everyday stuff, but I did get a few fun things.  I got one of the Riding Warehouse hoodies.  It is the best thing ever!  So warm and snuggly plus it cost $15.  If you love big hoodies get one in every color.

In preparation for the winter in the South, I stocked up on rain gear.  I got RockFish Wellies (rain boots), because I wore out my leather Dover ones in just over a year and these came with a year guarantee.  I am probably going to do a review on them, once I have worn them more, but so far it is two thumbs up (plus you can get them in fun colors even though I just did boring black).  I also got a Kerrits Outsider Waterproof Jacket.  Riding Warehouse was super nice and gave me a discount after the fact since I purchased it the day before they went on sale.  Go Riding Warehouse!

Post Christmas I totally lost my willpower and bought the new Majyk Equipe Dressage Boots in purple.  These things are just as amazing as I hoped.  Plus with the multiple pair discount and the sale I was able to get a full set for just over $100.  I am so glad I waited on these, because Stinker needed the smalls for the front, plus they are purple!

Now to finish collecting all the other purple...

What was your damage?  I sincerely hope it was less than mine, because I am currently running around my house trying to find things to sell to make up for all the purchases...
