Day 38 - September 21st - Replacement

In trying to change something, it's always good to have something new take it's place.

So I stop spending which means that allows the time from shopping to do something else. I have. I found time for "Mad Men".
A drama about an advertising agency that takes place in the '60s has become my favorite show. They are currently in their fourth season on AMC, and I've gone to the library to get the prior seasons. I'm number 4 in line to get season 1, but I've already watched all of season 2 and 3 in two weeks - 26 episodes.  And I can't get enough! The writing, the filming, the characters, the set design.  I love it all and ever since "John From Cincinnati" (google that one if you don't know it) have I been so "wrapped up" in what the characters are doing and why. 

Does this take the sting out of shopping. Yeah, it could. When I need to get home in order to watch another episode rather then stopping at the scrap store - yeah, it's a good thing.
When I want to spend money on my new "Anderson Cooper Advertising" mug instead of paper packs. Won't hurt. I have tons of paper.. and only a couple of mugs. I've got lots of mugs too, but no "Anderson Cooper" one.
And when I watch an episode I usually hop on my stationary bike, or treadmill and do 45 minutes of exercise. Well, shouldn't everyone be motivated that way!

And I'm not giving up scrapbooking... in fact if I can find them cheap, I'll buy the dvd's and watch them while I'm scrapbooking. "Mad Men" and scrapbooking - it would be quite a night!
