visions of orange coats...

so i really want this coat...isn't is so cute? i'm thinking about going to get it after work. i tried it on tuesday and wednesday at nordstrom, and i've been dreaming about it ever since. it's kind of expensive though. but i really need a warm coat! if anyone knows me, they know when i get my mind set on something, it's very hard for me to forget about it and i usually end up buying it. i can't help it...my mind just keeps going back to whatever it is, and then nothing i see after that can compare or compete. it's a weakness! it was the same with my bright colored quilt from anthropologie in 2004, my acura in 2005, and my xterra in 2007 (and probably a lot of other, smaller things, like shoes or purses or other items of clothing). and when i say dream about it i'm not kidding. i can remember many times laying in bed waiting to fall asleep and picturing the cute outift i was going to buy, or how cute my room or apartment would look if i got the picture i saw at world market, etc. i think i did it when i was younger too...actually i know i did. back then i didn't always have my own money to buy things with, but i remember i would see something in a magazine or in a store (like those brown doc marten boots that were so cool in 1996) and then i would have to get it for christmas or my birthday, even if it meant i wouldn't get much else, because i just couldn't let it go...like i said, it's a weakness. surely i must get some credit for the fact that i have been tremendously better and more disciplined since i have been married...but i still want this coat! i hope i can sleep tonight!
