Hello, everyone, and thank you for reading and sharing!!
Due to the holiday, I will keep it short and sweet. Today was a lovely day as my family and I celebrated in Seaworld, and enjoyed a lovely (and in budget) dinner. We walked around, saw the dolphins, sea turtles and manatees, and stayed until the sun set. It got cold - mid 60's - and Seaworld was transformed into a charming Christmas village... There were extremely well protected fire pits, around which we sat singing Christmas carols and drinking hot chocolate...It was far nicer than I expected, and for a moment, I even felt like I was back home in NJ.... So that was it, the slip up... see how subtle it was? Barely even noticed it, right? Yup, spent on 2 cups of hot chocolate... 10 bucks. Dang, what is with me and my impulse control...? I think today it was more about being caught up in the moment, and just going with it. Hot chocolate? Of course..... What is interesting, is that the times I spent in this experiment, I came to consciously make a choice to break my pact. The Uggs, the lunch out.... I was aware, and knowingly opted to cheat... But today, I was so not in the zone, I had planned for the day in terms of money, it wasn't even on my mind. So the purchase today was different, I just said yes and did it, and then after was like, Oh no!! I mean, the Christmas light show, the carols, the fires, the festive mood, it was thorough.... it was complete and I was completely wrapped in it...
So what does that mean??? Better or worse??
Well, tomorrow should be interesting. How does one brave Black Friday due to a previously made commitment/plan and not shop? Perhaps layaway? Is that my golden loophole??
We shall see.... much more to discover and work on, that is certain...
Thank you for reading everyone, and Happy Thanksgiving!
