Like I just bought myself a new bed frame and omg I’m just dying to have my partner over to see it once it’s set up (my .. 37 yo self - fuck, that’s right - feels so adult!).. like ooh idk surprise I guess? The birthday fairy left it for me? Don’t judge my spending. It’s precious. My precious.

I do this with my dog, haha. Anytime I come home with anything (groceries, tools, etc) I have to take each item out and at least show it to my dog (usually let him sniff it if it's not food).

Like, "Oooooh, look, mom got a hammer! OOOOOH, a hammer!" and she's just sniffing and wagging away, hahaha

You gotta enjoy the little things mate. Your dog is thrilled to be included in your daily life, guaranteed.

Okay I'm gonna steal this for my loved ones when we both know it's just a Charlie brown sad day. I love it, thank you.

I’m not judging. You do you, precious.

Ha sorry not you judging; partner. Who won’t either. I just have poverty spend-confidence issues. 😅 justify every large purchase. This one is “because I want it” which is difficult justification.

But it glows, precious. It has power, precious. I wanted it so much, and now it will be mine, my precious. 😊

In my family we parade our (fun) shopping trip purchases while the rest applaud. It is a great life joy!
