Amy, I

Have I mentioned how EXCITED! I am for the new

 Jack's Mannequin CD People and Things?! 

Oh, wait...I have right here.

Anyway, I'm so beyond EXCITED!

A bit bummed because the release date has been pushed back to Oct 4th (it was 8/4 originally). 

Jack's released another song off the album...

Amy, I...

This has done nothing to quell my excitement & impatience for this album. 

NOTHING!

I broke my "no extra* spending ban" and pre-ordered myself a copy of the CD.  I refrained & only got the CD package, unlike the time I want all out and pre-ordered the Deluxe package of The Glass Passenger. 

*My ban was really to stop my shopping addiction of clothing & jewelry (and/or accessories), so a CD really doesn't count. 

You know, "technically".

It started the ban at the beginning of this month and I've only slipped 2 little times.  I bought a necklace for $4.99 at Old Navy the day Karie & I had our FREE girls day, a dress from Target (a darker version of a dress I already owned & LOVE...backup, baby!) a couple of weeks ago on clearance for $13.something. 

A couple of slips may sound bad to some but I think I'm doing rather well.  Two slips in approx 30 days is a rather good average, no?!  Plus, I think I made wise choices on really good deals. 

I, also, bought 2 candles this month from Target (the Garden Blossom one mentioned here) on clearance for $2.23, but again candles can't be worn and are not accessories.  At least, of the personal variety...they're a household accessory.
