We
decided to go to the movies... something we don’t do enough especially this
is Jerry’s craft and passion, It is almost criminal that we don’t go more
regularly to see something new and inspiring.
Anyway
we both wanted to see Interstellar. The only session remaining was tonight at
6pm in the city, so we decided to go. On our way there we looked for food prior
to the movie. We ordered a small meal and a glass of wine each. Seems innocent right?
It was scary
how quickly I answered Jerry when he said “want a wine?”. Before my ‘I’m
cutting back, good angel’ stepped in my ‘bring it on!!, seriously saucy, bad deb’
said “you bet, I’ll have a chardy”. Well, $40 later and not yet at the movies I
realised how out of alignment this was. Brilliant! Note to self… WTF!!! Time to
develop some personal principles. More on that later.
Wish-List to hold back the impulse buying
We
spoke about the wish-list idea (guest blog coming very soon) and decided to
explore it in its full glory. On the way home on the train I sat down and
started creating my wish-list. How bazaar, I had trouble thinking of things I needed,
wanted or would love to experience. I came up with a few things but in essence
there was not much I yearned for….but get me in the shops and I can drain an
account in no time. Crazy!
What
went out - 4 items
Only
a quick cull tonight as I needed to go to bed for an early start. So we hit the
DVD cabinet and took out a few more we will not watch again.
What
came in – 0 items
Again
nothing. I wonder how many days this will last.
Insights
(1)
We can be smarter with our eating out. Need to
plan in advance and take food with us. (2) Wine is a real escape for me…and I really don’t choose to have it, I just do.
