I'm not having the best day today. I miss Adam. He's been gone for 3 weeks and won't be home for another 11+ weeks. He's still in holding and suspects he'll be back in the mix within a week if a spot opens up. I have learned is the military is likes to guesstimate and the guesstimate is never correct and will probably change several times.
I don't mind being apart, it's the limited contact. They keep him really busy so he never has time to write. He calls once a week, but I work most of the day so if I'm on the lot away from my phone I miss the call. It's difficult to hear in his voice his homesickness. In our relationship, I'm the tough one. He's says I'm his rock and he wishes he handled things as well as I do. Well, the truth is I don't handle things very well at all (though I'm deeply flattered he feels that way and am happy to hear it makes things easier for him).

I've been feeling a little weak the past few days. Hormones. ugh. And I miss him.

Thanks for listening.

The point of this post was I saw this on J Crew today:

Cashmere Ribbon Pullover- Marked down to $199!!!

So yeah, I know this makes me a hypocrite (ruffles!!!! ahh!!) But I LOVE this sweater. The problem: I ask myself, "is it worth $200?"proceeding to go through all the things I could buy with $200. 1. DVF Red Jersey Dress I've been watching on ebay 2. Staub Braiser I have also been watching on ebay. 3. $200 towards our new Room and Board bedroom set 4. Student Loans 5. Anything practical

I think I'm going to allow the sweater slip away. I made an anthropologie impulse buy this week that I may or may not be happy with. All my credit cards are paid off- I hate to see them blemished with a $200 dollar purchase. Whenever I talk myself out of something I'm reminded of a blog title I saw once: "Life is Short Buy the Shoes"

No, Maureen. You will not buy the sweater. Maybe it will still be around when a 20% code is offered or I'll see it on ebay someday. I'll keep dreaming.
