The Old Man always chastises me for buying useless things. One time I bought a compost bucket (that you put your kitchen scraps in until you take them out to the bin) and I got in trouble because a regular bucket would have worked fine. But a regular bucket isn't as nice as the compost bucket. And it's see through, which is no good because then you can see what's going on inside the bucket. Which is gross.
When he gets home tonight I'm going to be in trouble. I can't help myself. I bought some drawer organisers, which we already have. But the new ones are NICE metal mesh, while the old one is not. It's plastic and it's stained (from what I don't know because how do you spill in a closed drawer?) and it's stinky white ugly plastic. That I can probably get away with, it's the other thing that will really be the problem. What could that be? Learner's Chopsticks. I bought two pairs. For $4.99. They look like giant clothes pins and they also look like a TONNE of fun. Unfortunately the Old Man can use chopsticks quite well. How I don't know, but he can and will refuse to use the ones I bought and I will be in trouble for wasteful spending.
Another thing is I bought three books and the problem there is:
A) I have no more room for new books. The Book Room is full to capacity and is spilling it's contents throughout the house; and
B) I have already read two of the three I bought. But I read books like people watch movies. If I like it, I read it again and again. That is why I BUY them in the first place rather than borrow them from the Library, which is a whole other issue itself. Who wants to read books that countless others have had in their bathroom, and touched before washing their hands?
I think I will just put the books in the Book Room and hope that they quietly blend in with the others. Thus I will only be in trouble for on thing that I probably deserve to be in trouble for anyway. In the mean time, I have some chopsticks to use.
