"  1. This is basically the price of my work expenses! I know I haven&amp;#039;t even filled out my reimbursement form and I might not be able to find a third of my receipts but once I finally get around to filing that and getting my check back it will more than make up for the price of this leather T-shirt that I really need since that girl at the bar last night looked so good in hers. 2. Expense reimbursement checks are practically BONUSES. This feels like money I earned instead of money I already spent therefore I absolutely deserve those silver shoe booties Stacy said looked super-good on me. Stacy has the best taste. 3. I spent all that money to come on this tropical vacation already so what&amp;#039;s another $50 on a Ceasar salad and fries? I came here to enjoy myself, not spend my time searching for reasonably priced nachos. Every proper yuppie knows that sitting next to a pool causes the price of everything to increase four fold. It&amp;#039;s just a fact of life. 4. I already spent $60 on three daquiris yesterday. What&amp;#039;s another $18 mai tai at this point? I pay $2 extra for egg white-only omelettes all the time. 5. Spending a week at my parents&amp;#039; house saved me SO much money. That&amp;#039;s a full week&amp;#039;s worth of eating out and apartment utilities that I don&amp;#039;t have to pay for. I hope Stacy comes to Zara with me after brunch! 6. Ugh I had the WORST day. I can&amp;#039;t believe how stupid that new department head Donna is. I can&amp;#039;t wait to quit and work in a place where my brilliance is actually appreciated and \u2014 ooh Urban Outfitters. I&amp;#039;ll just zip through \u2014 I deserve a new freakum dress after the shitty day I had. Donna wishes she had the body to pull this off. 7. I&amp;#039;m so excited about my new [apartment/job/promotion]! I better get a new [coffee table/shift dress/Theory blouse] since I&amp;#039;m most definitely not in a position to look like a shabby Sharon anymore. #MovingOnUp 8. I am so beyond stressed out. I can&amp;#039;t do this anymore. Where&amp;#039;s the number for Bliss, let&amp;#039;s see here \u2014 &amp;quot;Hello? Hi, I need to come in for a massage this evening. Yes, 7 p.m. sounds good. You know I was thinking of the 60-minute deep tissue but if you have 75 minutes available\u2026 Mm hm, it&amp;#039;s a Visa \u2014&amp;quot; 9. Just another $30 for a paraffin foot wrap? OK! Why not? I&amp;#039;ve come this far. This massage is already so beyond worth the $200 I&amp;#039;m spending on it! I deserve it after the week I&amp;#039;ve had. 10. Maybe I should just go to the nice nail salon for a change. I mean, I don&amp;#039;t have kids, I&amp;#039;m not married. Now is the time in my life when I can really afford to treat myself. 11. Being single just costs money. If you&amp;#039;re going to go out to bars to try to meet potential mates you&amp;#039;re going to have to spend $12 on one cosmopolitan sometimes! That&amp;#039;s just how it goes. You can&amp;#039;t meet people curled up in bed with Hulu Plus! 12. These shoes were not made for public transit. These are cab to curb shoes and that is it. Shit, is it raining? Fuck it, I&amp;#039;ll just order an Uber. 13. Why is it that the only food I ever have in my apartment is frozen bread and Annie&amp;#039;s bunny pasta. If I have another carb-only meal I&amp;#039;m going to turn into a churro. I better order that $16 salmon salad that&amp;#039;s really good and filling and never makes me feel fat. 14. I would go to the gym so much more often if I had awesome neon-accented workout clothes. Besides, those Lululemon leggings make your thighs look firm instead of jiggly so I can go to aerobics class without feeling weird about my body. Oh, it&amp;#039;s 10 percent off the second pair today only? I may as well get two. 15. Omigod omigod Gilt only has one left in my size! If I don&amp;#039;t get that blazer right now I&amp;#039;ll never find it in my size again. Added to cart, there. Omigod omigod! I only have six minutes left to purchase! I better get my credit card so I can enter everything in before I lose the last small. 16. Man, this blazer is kind of disappointing-looking on me. But returning it is like sooooo not happening #lazy #ihatemail. I&amp;#039;ll just keep it. Photo Credit: PacificCoastNews.com "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
