Consumer Confidential

The secret's out. I'm broke! Busted! Bupkis in the bank!

My most extravagant unnecessary recent puchases were:

taking the Amtrak to DC instead of the bus to avoid rush hour traffic and creepy DC bus station
a swimsuit on sale at Strawbridges
sunglasses at Ross
cookie ingredients from Whole Foods (I was a fool to even walk in that store.)
NJ transit trip to one-day Long Beach Island vacation, where I ate some food
seeing a pretentious dance performance at the Live Arts festival

There was other expenses, too, because some occasions demand more than sending a card. And even cards ain't free.

How's that for decadence? I wish could say I blew it all on sushi and rehab for my hophead entourage.

I'll be back on track in a few weeks.
