Dear Flossy, 

I thought you had made a New Year's resolution to NOT spend money in an impulse fashion.  What happened?  Did you really, really need to purchase the floor length puff, quilted, down filled, bedspread also known as your new coat?  I mean, it is 11 degrees out right now, but you are not  trekking to the local Shaw's for provisions, are you?  I suppose I could summon up this scenario......it snows two feet, driveway unshoveled (because you are too tired from your spin class), husband stuck at work, kids driving your nutt-o.  Maybe, just maybe, the bedspread/coat combo might come in handy as you could use it to embalm yourself as you snowshoe to Myette's for some Mike's Hard Lime, but other than that....is it really necessary?  My Dad always says..."reduce your wants to your needs."  I'll let you be the judge of that one!

  Much love, your BFF, Fitfreak.  PS- if I need a Sherpa, can I call you?

Yeah, yeah, I know...I am TRYING to curb my impulse spending. But I have to tell you, when I wore that thing yesterday in that BITTER cold and I was even a little TOO warm from my neck down to my ankles, it was WORTH that $20!!!

I'll cut back on lattes or something.
