The Blonde Diaries

I decided to try out Mike and I’s first big purchase together together -> our new television. We’ve been discussing purchasing a larger television as mine was just 19 inches and rather pathetic when hosting friends and family for gatherings. So we religiously watched the ad papers and jumped on a sale at Best Buy last week. We found a lovely 47 inch LG television that I am in love with.

So now that I’ve digressed, I’m going to get back on track. I am hanging out at home while Mike works away in Beaumont so I have full control over the television. I found my latest Netflix movie rental -> Confessions of a Shopaholic. I have to admit that I love the book series so much more than the actual movie. The movie just goes off on such a wild tangent from the books that it can be frustrating at times but nevertheless it is such a funny and cute movie on its own that you have to laugh while watching.

One of my favorite parts comes from the beginning of the movie where Rebecca is watching young 20-somethings at the department store (she’s about 10) and they are buying all of these beautiful clothes with their “magic cards”. Everyone is so happy and everything is just beautiful and perfect. If only credit cards were more like magic cards that allow you to buy things and not pay for them. Instead, if you miss a payment it follows more closely to my second favorite line, “They said I was a valued customer, now they send me hate mail”.
