When did I become so practical?!

Today, after a very nice homemade/brought lunch with a good friend, we stopped in a store in my building that sells high-end apparel and accessories for women and men.  Well, they have a HUGE sale going on and the shoe style to the left (in the color of the ones below) were 50% off! 

Well, normally 50% off is a GREAT deal and I guess in the grand scheme of designer things, this IS a great deal.  They just HAD to be in my size and yes, folks, they are those beautiful italian-made shoes with the pretty red bottoms.....Christian Louboutins.

I just couldn't do it.  I started thinking of all of the things I could buy with that money so I grabbed a catalog, thanked the sales ladies, and made a b-line for my office.  When I got back to work I just couldn't stop thinking of these shoes.  They were gorgeous.  They felt amazing on my feet.  Why shouldn't I buy them??  I mean, don't my feet deserve them?!  I can wear them with practically anything and yes, I deserve them!  But my mind kept going back to the dollar signs.  It was just TOO much.  That's like 3 weeks worth of food for my Tracy Anderson Method food plan......

And then I thought to myself, damn......since when did I become so freaking practical??!!!

Maybe I will hold off until I complete my 90 day program.  Maybe I will make these shoes (or another pair on sale if these are gone which they likely will be) my reward to myself for having completed 90 days of the Tracy Anderson Metamorphosis Method.  That sounds like a good idea.  I've always wanted a pair....and the ones I bought on eBay don't count!  :)
