Houston, I HAVE A Problem.

I don’t know if you remember when I went public with my obsession with scissors.  It’s not a conscious thing on my part, it’s just an accidental overspending mechanism that seems to kick in whenever I’m around shiny new cutting equipment.  Well that’s not my only problem it seems.

This week the BFF and I went to one of those in-home parties.  Not one of the name brand,Tupperware, Cookie Lee Jewelry or Pampered Chef kind, but the kind where some entrepreuner sets up shop with her picks from market.  The question was what will I buy?   Not WOULD I buy, but what, because we all know you don’t go, and go home with nothing.

Here’s my choices.  Purses, which were knock-offs, that were cute, but as is the style these days were HUGE.  I lobbied for Melissa to buy one so she could carry me around it, but she put the fake Prada back in the end.

There was jewelry but my sister, Shasta Wewe, sells Cookie Lee jewelry so if I’m gonna buy costume stuff I’m gonna have to get it from her.

The final choice was sunglasses.  Your pretty basic knock-off  Dolce Gabana’s caught my eye, and the purple color really made my blonde hair spark, for 12 bucks those babies were mine.  Melissa got the same pair in a brownish color, and since it was her friends party, she decided to go ahead and splurge and buy something else.  She opted for a knock off Tiffany key necklace that was quite cute for 13 bucks, and besides that, Jennifer Anniston wears a real one just like it in Gold.  (Melissa would have paid twice that, had the chick told her that in the first place!)  Anyway, as home parties go, we got out pretty cheap, but when I got home, boy did feel like a loser.

I tossed the purse on the bench, took the sunglasses off my head and as they hit the shelf I heard a clink.   No they didn’t break they just landed on about a half dozen other sunglasses.  I needed sunglasses like I needed a hole in my head.  Breaking News folks, I’m Anita Cochran, and I’m broke, but if you’re havin a party and selling sunglasses invite me, apparently I find them irresistible.
