I have detected a disturbing trend in my behavior here of late. I have developed a habit of evaluating all non-essential purchases by potential yarn value. For instance: The antenna on my cell phone is not only broken, but lost.
Now, since I don't make a lot of cell phone calls, this has been relegated to the non-essential category, and a disclaimer prefaces any calls I do make. "I may lose you if I move out of range of a transmitter." I have learned where I can expect better reception along my daily commute. This minor inconvenience is more than offset by stash enhancement equal to the value of cell phone repair or replacement.
I also need a pedicure. I will spare you a picture of that particular non-essential need. It is determined to be non-essential because there is at least another month of closed toe shoe weather before me, and because it allows for stash appropriation equal to the value of a spa pedicure plus tip.
And the value of dog grooming? (Because what are kids for if not giving the dogs a bath, right?)
You get the idea. I could go on, but frankly, this is just the tip of the iceberg, and to go further would just be embarrassing. Besides, the mail hasn't arrived yet today.
