The tank tops I can kind of justify in that I either all I had was either spaghetti strap tanks or work friendly tanks. I'd refrained from getting the Up tank previously and regretted it a few times. I picked it up on sale with a few other options.

I returned two out of four because the Supernatural one was damaged. After I sent it back to be returned, I got a stock email saying it was no longer available and I wouldn't be charged for it. Considering I already paid for it, I sure as hell hope so. I wound up going to a store I knew would have it and buying it there.

I still can't get anyone to talk to me but I know my credit card hasn't been reimbursed. I'm dealing with Hot Topic through the store. It helps to have an actual person hear your complaints rather than shouting into cyberspace. I'm leaving that expense off until it gets resolved.

In Torrid I bought two challis tops. I'm addicted to that fabric and cannot be left around temptation. Both would work for a job (when I finally get another one) or the weekend.

I supported my local comic shop with Lumberjanes Vol. 1, Deadpool's Wedding, Chester 5000 XYV, Part-Time Princesses, Wayward Vol 1, Strong Female Protagonist, and The Monster Hunter's Survival Guide. I finally found something from Zenoscope that wasn't soft core porn.

I had a sample of Genius... eye shadow and it's become my default shade of copper. I added a couple of new colors in there since I don't have much variety at the moment. The lip color is for a cosplay.

While I could have found other maille projects to work on, I wanted to be able to get a few easier ones done. It gave me a sense of accomplishment while working on getting a new job. Not much of an excuse but I stuck to the plan of working with what I had for the rest of it.

Some of the things that were left off were necessary like Microsoft Office for Mac, Mother's Day gift, and birthday presents. I think my biggest problem is avoiding temptation.

I'm only good until I get around temptation which isn't very good at all. I need to work on avoiding temptation and getting better at being around it without going nuts. My grand total for the month is $333.15. I think part of the problem is that I get bored and shopping is a viable option. I need to make it less viable.
