The Chronic Consumer

With as much time as I spend watching TV shows and movies here at home, I think investing in some nice home theater furniture would be well worth it in the long run. Well, I made the first step last week by purchasing a nice leather recliner for the living room, and am now thinking about what I should buy next. A popcorn machine? A sound system? Or maybe a real theater-style chair?

Whichever new product I decide to go with, I’m just happy that I’m making progress with my dream entertainment room!

I’ve been spending the last few days going through my closets and drawers to try to get a bit more organized. I want to give a bunch of clothes to Goodwill to reduce some of the clutter, and also just throw all the unwearable stuff out.

While I was going through everything, I discovered that a lot of my clothes don’t fit very well anymore. Most of my pants and jeans are too big in the waist now, which also makes them too long since they hang lower. I guess this is one of the bad side effects of weight loss, that your clothes might end up not fitting anymore!

So now I’ve got to buy a whole new wardrobe for the fall. I work at an office job a couple days a week, and on those days it’s essential that I look presentable, so I really have no choice here. I wish I didn’t have to spend all this money on new clothes, but I guess I should just be grateful that I’m buying smaller sizes instead of bigger!
