Today I'm working at The Joyce Foundation which is right on Madison and Dearborn, a block away from State street, and since I eat throughout the day at the office I usually do a little window shopping in place of getting lunch. Today I found the two most beautiful peices I have come across in a while. This is what goes through a poor girls head when she's trying to justify buying two pieces of clothing that could pay her electic and gas bill for two months:
"You can't buy these Leigh, you're barely making rent this month"
"sure I can! I have a new job and I'm getting paid next week!'
"But you barely have any food in your kitchen"
'I can live off soup and peanut butter for the next month, if anything it'll help me look better in the clothes i buy!'
"Leigh you know you can't just eat that for a month"
"Ryan feeds me"
"don't even go there"
"But I waaaant it!"
"I know they're pretty but just put them back and you'll be glad to have that $150.00 safely in your bank"
"damn you conscience.....you're keeping me from looking good"
"I'm keeping you from being broke, hungry and estranged from your roommates."
"..."
"Ok?'
"ok...but I'm putting them on hold incase I win the lottery tonight or something'
"Great Comprimise'
'Shut up"
"ok"
...Gawd I can be such a girl.
