I'm a bad person...

I bought this. It was on sale, I couldn't stop myself. I worked hard this whole summer. I deserve some compensation for my misery at Express. I've been good, really. I eat at home 95 percent of the time. I stay at home instead of going out. I work all the hours that Express offers me. I clean the house. I've been a model daughter. I needed to indulge SO BADLY. On that note, I almost bought this. But I resisted the temptation... they didn't pay me enough to afford two purses. However, I still really want it. If you ever feel inclined to buy me a Lulu Guinness clutch... you have my blessing, along with my eternal love.

Same with this.

At least I've learned the value of three hundred dollars. And I know I have to work for quite a while to get such a sum. It would be nice if $300 just fell from the sky onto my car one day. Unfortunately, all of these little luxuries are just figments of my imagination, especially in the current economic crisis in my household. Damn energy companies (and the domino effect of failure on the economy). Damn falling stock prices (and falling further every day). Damn California (especially the stupid governor who refuses to honor his contracts). Damn media (for being leech-like creatures who feel a need to sensationalize everything). Damn Reliant Energy (for overstating over 400 BILLION DOLLARS IN IMAGINARY PROFIT).

It's not a good time to be involved with the energy business. Consequently, it's not a good time to be a member of the Noble family household.
