I'm in trouble

thebratqueenI got my mail today and there was a Baker's Catalog inside of it. Did I throw it out? Of course not. Because what I need right now is to be tempted by cookware and not, say, tempted to save my money for oh, say, my new co-op (assuming the mortgage goes through).
Plus there's Connexions. I am a horrible person when it comes to trips. I don't know why. I can't just sit down and plan for the trip. I have to plan all these other things around it. Totally unrelated things like "Oh I should regrout the tiles before I go." Because that makes sense.
Plus I have contradictory packing skills. On the one hand I am the carry-on Queen, able to pack a two-week European vacation into a roll-on luggage and a backpack, but on the other I am also a pack rat who would, if given my druthers, bring along something like tennis balls and aquarium filters because you never know.
So right now I'm fighting off the temptation to make the trip to Connexions an excuse to buy things I don't need. The biggest threat to my pocketbook right now is, funnily enough, a pocket book. I have ye olde classic New Yorker "little black bag" which holds my stuff, but does not hold my cell phone and my sunglasses at the same time. So there's a little voice in my head at the moment whispering "You'll want to carry both at the con - you never know when you might want to duck outside - get a new purse, join us, joooiiinnn uuuuussssss...."
Y'all should start an office pool to see if I give in to this or not, I swear.
