I don't know if any of you are as lame as I am and have moments of weakness when you impulse buy but...yeah, I had a sad moment of impulse buying this last summer. After our first tour, Karissa and I decided to buy rollerblades with our sweet tips from the week. Well, we didn't just go for the lame $30 skates...oh no, we had to get the super nice ones that were comfortable (yeah, because we rollerblade all the time and so that's a big deal!). Little do you probably know, I had never rollerbladed in my life and here I was spending a lot of money on something that I wasn't sure I was going to like, let alone use at all. Well, last summer Karissa and I used our skates once. That's it...one time use. So last night, Andrea and Andrew and I decided to go out and enjoy the beautiful night and...you guessed it...I broke out the skates! It felt great! Well, it was supposed to feel great but unfortunately Karissa and I had bought the same skates and didn't bother looking to make sure that we'd grabbed our own skates and so I had two right skates to skate with. I toughed it out (with a little bit of whining here and there with the arch of the skate digging into the side of my left foot). Andrea even took a picture of me on my skates to commemorate their usage once again! I am determined to get good at skating this spring so I can begin to feel better about this impulse buy. I'm still working on it.
